SYMBOLS
Lift the upper part of the handlebar and position it
behind the machine. Move the lower part of the
handlebar upwards and tighten the locking knobs
A (fig. 3).
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-
chine in order to remind you about the safety pre-
cautions and attention necessary when using the
machine.
Then fit the upper part of the handlebar. A securing
eye for the starting handle is fitted on the right-
hand side (fig. 1).
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Storage position: Slacken the locking knobs on the
lower part of the handlebar and move it forwards.
Then slacken the locking knobs on the upper part
of the handlebar and move it backwards (fig. 4).
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware
of objects being flung out.
Note that you must check to make sure that the
wires do not fasten and break when the steering han-
dle is moved upwards or into the storage position.
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under
the cover of the machine when it is run-
ning.
CABLE BEARER
Put the wires into the cable holder (fig. 5).
Warning! Before starting any repair work,
remove the spark plug cable from the
spark plugs.
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without
any oil in the motor crankcase. The
crankcase must, therefore, be filled with
oil before the motor is started the first
time.
IMPORTANT
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor
speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex-
haust emissions.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7, 8).
ASSEMBLING
Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good
quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE
30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
HANDLEBAR
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.
Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.
Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with
screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the
dipstick (fig. 6, 7, 8).
The handlebar has four different positions. Release
the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to
the desired position (fig. 3).
Briggs & Stratton, Honda: Remove and dry the
dipstick (fig. 6, 7). Slide it down completely and
tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again. Read-off.
If the oil level is low, fill with oil up to the “FULL/
MAX” mark.
1. For normal mowing.
2. For mowing under trees, shrubs etc.
3. Parking position.
4. Transportation and storage position. The han-
dlebar takes up less room if the locking knobs
are loosened and the handlebar folded in.

face. Clean the area round the oil plug, then re-
move the plug (fig. 8). If the oil is not level with the
edge of the hole, carefully pour in clean oil. Re-
place the oil plug.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)
Fill with petrol before starting the mo-
tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill
with petrol while the motor is running
or still warm.
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
Never fill the fuel tank completely full
but allow a little room for the petrol to
expand.
3. Open the fuel cock (fig. 12).
4. Move the throttle control B to the chokeposition
. Note! Don't use the choke position when the
engine is warm (fig. 9).
Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never
use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.
5. Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steer-
ing. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be
kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stop-
ping (fig. 9).
Note that you should always remember that petrol
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol
than what you can use up in 30 days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh)
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
7. When the motor starts, move the throttle lever
backwards until the max. rotation speed is ob-
tained. Note! The engine should always be run
at the maximum rotation speed to avoid abnor-
mal engine vibrations.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
3. If the lawnmower is equipped with a throttle le-
ver, set throttle lever B in full throttle position
(fig. 9).
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully three times (fig. 10, 11).
When starting a warm engine the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer
three times.
STOP OF ENGINE
The motor may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
5. Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steer-
ing. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be
kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stop-
ping (fig. 9).
1. Release Start/Stop-loop G to stop theengine.
This loop must not be disengaged(e.g. through
fixing it in the depressed position against the
steering), as the engine cannot be stopped.
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
Honda: Close the fuel cock.
7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should
always run the engine at full-speed.
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to,remove
the lead from the spark plug.

If the start/stop loop no longer works,
CLEANING
stop the engine by removing the lead
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised work-
shop for repairs.
After each time it is used the mower should be
cleaned. This is particularly important on the un-
derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the
garden hose. The mower will then last longer and
function better.
MOWING TIPS
The paint under the mower casing will wear after
some time. To prevent corrosion paint with rust
preventive.
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
stones toys and other hard objects.
A machine with MULCHER system cuts the grass,
chops it finely and then blows it down in the lawn.
The grass clippings need not to be collected.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.
The following rules should be observed to give
best MULCHER effect:
COOLING SYSTEM
1. Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2. Do not mowe when the grass is wet.
Before use, the engine's cooling system should be
cleaned. Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and the
air intake, removing any grass cuttings, dirt and the
like.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than 1/
3rd of the length should be cut off.
CHANGING OIL
4. Always keep it clean under the mower casing.
5. Always use a well sharpened blade.
Change the oil when the engine is warm
and the petrol tank is empty. Hot oil will
run out of the engine better. Use caution
when draining the hot oil, as it could
cause burn injuries.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the motor before adjusting the
cutting height.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-
ation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of op-
eration or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt
the mower and let the oil run out into a container.
Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
The cutting height can be adjusted to three posi-
tions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 14).
Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-
30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick.
MAINTENANCE
No service is to be made on the motor or
grass cutter unit without first switching
off the motor and removing the spark
plug cable from the spark plug.
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.
Stop the motor and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. with transportation.
Briggs & Stratton: Carefully remove the air
cleaner so that no dirt falls down into the carburet-
tor (fig. 15). Take out the foam plastic filter ele-
ment and wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry
the filter element. Pour a little oil on the filter ele-
ment and squeeze it in. Refit the air cleaner.Wash
the filter every three months or every 25 hours run-
ning, whichever comes first, or more frequently if
used in dusty conditions.
If the machine is to be tilted the fuel tank
must be emptied and the sparking plug
of the engine kept upwards.

ENGLISH
Honda: Take off the cover then remove the filter
(Fig. 16). Check the filter carefully for holes or
other damage. A broken or damaged filter must be
replaced.
Blunt and damaged blades tear off the grass and
spoil the look of the lawn after mowing. New, well
sharpened blades cut the grass cleanly, so that the
lawn looks green and fresh even after mowing.
To remove dirt, tap the filter several times against
a hard surface, or blow compressed air through the
filter from the back. Try not to clean the filter by
brushing, as this will force the dirt into the fibres.
A very dirty filter should be replaced.
Always check the blade(s) after an impact. First
disconnect the ignition cable. If the blade system
has been damaged the defective parts must be
changed. Always use genuine spare parts.
To replace the blade, slacken the screw. Fit the new
blade so that the stamped STIGA logotype is
turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing
the grass). Refit the washer and screw. Tighten the
screw fully to a torque of 40 Nm (fig. 18).
Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use, or
once every season; more often if the motor is used
on dusty terrain.
Tecumseh: Check the air filter after every 25
hours of use, more often if the engine is used in
dusty conditions. If the foam filter is dirty or
blocked it should be replaced.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-
stacles.
Dismantle the cover A. Clean inside the cover A
and the filter support E, (fig. 13). Soak the foam
filter C with two teaspoons (approx. 20 ml) of en-
gine oil. Massage the filter with a clean cloth to re-
move any excess oil. Also check the seal D,
replace it if damaged or deformed.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade screw, always use original spare parts. Non-
authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per-
sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the machine.
Refit the cover A.
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
SPARKING PLUG
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
Never remove the spark plug or the igni-
tion lead when checking to see if there is
any spark, always use an approved test
instrument.
For the sake of safety, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-
ature could cause the blade to become brittle.
Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours
running). Use a wire brush for cleaning and adjust
the correct spark gap (fig. 17).
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-
bration damage.
Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are ex-
cessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The rec-
ommendations of the engine manufacturers are as
follows:
STORAGE
Briggs & Stratton: Champion J19LM (RJ19LM),
Spark gap 0,76 mm.
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Honda: BPR6ES (NGK),
Spark gap 0,7-0,8 mm.
Tecumseh: Champion RJ17LM, RJ19LM,
Spark gap 0,6 mm.
Tip up the mower and screw out the sparking plug.
Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug
hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the
sparking plug.
CHANGING BLADES
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades/knifeblades.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
