• Close the fuel cock. This is particularly
important if the machine is to be transported on
a trailer for example.
If you have to leave the machine unat-
tended, disconnect the spark plugs and
remove the key from the ignition.
The engine may be very warm immedia-
tely after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries.

CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engi-
ne, silencer, battery and fuel tank free
from grass, leaves and oil
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leaks.
Never use high-pressure water jets.
This can damage shaft seals, electrical
components or hydraulic valves.
Always clean the machine after use. To clean
the machine adhere to the instructions provided
below:
• Do not spray water directly onto the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or
compressed air.
• Clean the motor cooling air intake.
• After cleaning using water, start the machine
and any cutting means assembly to remove
any water which may otherwise end up in the
bearings and cause damage.
8 USING THE ATTACHMENT
Make sure the grass to be cut is com-
pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc.
8.1
CUTTING HEIGHT
For best results, cut off the top third of the grass.
See fig. 23.
If the grass is long and needs cutting back signifi-
cantly, cut twice using two different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting means being
damaged against the surface and the lawn's top
layer of soil being removed.

9 MAINTENANCE
9.1
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME
To keep the machine in good condition as regards
reliability, operational safety and attention to the
environment, always comply with the STIGA SpA
assistance programme.
Details on this programme's interventions are il-
lustrated in the attached STIGA SpA maintenance
manual.
The Basic Service must always be carried out by
an authorized service workshop.
The First Service and Intermediate Service should
be carried out by an authorized service workshop,
but can also be carried out by the user.
The procedures are indicated in the handbook and
are described in the chapter "7 START-UP AND
OPERATION" as well as here below.
The checks carried out by an authorized service
workshop guarantee professional workmanship
and the use of genuine spare parts.
The handbook is stamped every time a Basic Ser-
vice is performed and each time an Intermediate
Service is carried out by an authorized service
workshop. A handbook with these stamps increa-
ses the second-hand value of the machine.
9.2
PREPARATION
All service and all maintenance checks
must be carried out on a stationary ma-
chine with the engine switched off.
Always apply the parking brake to stop
the machine from moving.
Stop the engine.
Prevent inadvertent start-up of the en-
gine by disconnecting the spark plug
cables and removing the ignition key.
