4.Finally, screw in the fuel cap/fuel gauge.

The machine may not be operated unless the engine casing is mounted. Risk of burns and crushing injuries.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

6.Sand spreading

Using sand spreader 13-1975. Can also be used for spreading salt. Snow chains 13-0936 (16“)

Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2- stroke petrol mixed with oil.

NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used within thirty days.

Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.

Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or topping up. Fill with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing (fig. 28).

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

(President - Comfort - Pro16 - Pro20)

On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30 oil.

Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. Slide it down completely and tighten it.

Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL“ mark, if the level comes below it (figs. 11).

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL (Royal)

On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-40 oil.

Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. Slide it down completely without tightening it.

Pull it up again and read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “UPPER” mark, if the oil level is be-

low it (fig. 11).

CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

The transmission is filled with SAE 10W-40 oil when the machine is delivered from the factory,

Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Read off the oil level in the reservoir (fig. 23). It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks. If necessary, top up with more oil. Use oil SAE 10W-40 (20W-50).

SAFETY SYSTEM

This machine is equipped with a safety system that consists of:

-a switch at the brake pedal.

-a switch in the seat (Comfort, President) or the seat bracket (other models).

-a switch at the power take-off engagement lever.

In order to start the machine, the following are necessary:

-brake pedal pressed down.

-driver sitting on seat.

-power take-off engagement lever in forward position (i.e. power take-off disengaged).

Always check the operation of the safety system before using the machine!

With the engine running and the driver sitting on the seat, check as follows:

-press the drive pedal so that the machine starts to move, release the drive pedal – the machine must stop.

-press the drive pedal so that the machine starts to move, engage the cruise control, lift your weight off the seat – the machine must stop (applies to Royal, Pro16, Pro20).

-press the drive pedal so that the machine starts to move, engage the cruise control, press the brake pedal – the machine must stop (applies to Royal, Pro16, Pro20).

-engage the power take-off, lift your weight off the seat – the engine must stop (applies to Comfort, President, Royal, Pro16).

-engage the power take-off, lift your weight off the seat – the power take-off must be disengaged (applies to Pro20).

Do not use the machine if the safety system is not working! Take the machine to a service workshop for inspection!

STARTING ENGINE

1.Open the fuel cock (fig. 12).

2.Make sure that the spark plug cable is properly in place.

3.Check to make sure that the power take-off is disengaged.

4.Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.

5a. Comfort-President:

Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the choke position. Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind the choke position).

5b. Royal-Pro16-Pro20:

Put the throttle control at full throttle. Starting cold engine – pull the choke control out fully. Starting warm engine – do not touch the choke control.

6.Depress the brake pedal fully.

7.Turn the ignition key and start the engine.

8a. Comfort-President:

Once the engine has started, move the throttle control gradually to full throttle if the choke has been used.

8b. Royal-Pro16-Pro20:

Once the engine has started, push the choke control in gradually if it has been used.

9. When starting from cold, do not make the machine work under load immediately, but let the engine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the oil to warm up.

When in use, always operate the engine at full throttle.

STOPPING

Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking brake.

If the machine is left unattended, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also remove the starter key.

The engine may be very warm immediately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This can cause burn injuries.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

(Pro20 Cat)

Stiga Park Pro 16 Manual

The catalytic converter gets very hot during operation. The heat remains for a long time after the engine has been stopped. Be aware of the fire risk.

Do not park in close proximity to inflammable objects. Do not cover the machine until the catalytic converter has cooled down.

STEERING AID (Pro20)

Built-in function in order to facilitate steering. The operator only has to turn the steering wheel gently. A hydraulic torque amplifier creates the remaining force.

As opposed to normal servo steering (e.g. in a car), the steering aid has a limited capacity. This means that it has some characteristics that might be considered negative:

-at a low engine rpm or in situations where extra steering force is needed, steering can be considered to be “jumpy”.

-the machine should always be moving when the steering is used. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the machine is standing completely still and the accessory is in the lowered working position.

The steering is adapted in order to produce better results at a normal working speed. This produces major benefits.

Even when the engine is not running, the steering works. However, it is harder to turn in this case, if the machine is to be manoeuvred manually.

Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine by turning off the starter key.

Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly important if the machine is to be transported on a trailer for example.

DRIVING TIPS

Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on “FULL”).

Be careful when driving on slopes. No sudden starting or stopping when moving up or down a slope. Never drive across a slope. Move from the top down, and from the bottom to the top.

The machine, equipped with original accessories, may not be driven on slopes greater than 10º in any direction.

Reduce the speed on slopes and when making sharp turns to prevent the machine from tipping over or you losing control of the machine.

Do not turn the steering wheel to full lock when driving in top gear and at full throttle. The machine can easily topple over.

Keep hands and fingers well away from articulated steering joint and seat bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Never operate the machine without the engine casing.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

SERVICE PROGRAM

In order to keep the machine in good condition, as regards reliability and operational safety as well as from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s service program should be followed.

The contents of this program can be found in the attached service log.

We recommend that an authorised workshop carries out every service. This guarantees that the work is performed by trained personnel and with genuine spare parts.

At every service, the service log should be stamped. A “fully stamped” service log is a valuable document that improves the machine’s secondhand value.

PREPARATIONS

Unless otherwise stated, all service and maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine when the engine is not running.

Prevent the machine from rolling by always applying the parking brake.

Prevent unintentional starting of the engine by always stopping the engine, disconnecting the spark plug cable from the spark plug and earthing it. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

CLEANING

To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer/catalytic converter, 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 leakage.

When washing the machine with water under high pressure, do not point the jet directly at the transmission.

Do not point jets of water directly at the engine. Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.

ENGINE OIL

(President - Comfort - Pro16 - Pro20)

Change the oil for the first time after 5 hours running, and then after every 50 hours running or once a season. Change oil when the engine is warm.

Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF, SG or SH).

Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of operation or at least once a season) if the engine has to operate under demanding conditions or if the ambient temperature is high.

The engine oil may be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.

1. Oil drain pipe (metal):

Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe.

Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to get on the V-belts.

2.Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not damaged and that they are in the correct place.

3.Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.

Oil capacity:

Comfort, President - 1.4 l

Pro16, Pro20 - 1.7 l (incl. oil filter)

Oil type, summer (> 4ºC): SAE-30

(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil consumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly if you use this type of oil).

Oil type, winter (< 4ºC): SAE 5W-30

(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).

Use oil without any additives.

Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the engine to overheat.

After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 30 seconds. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then check the oil level.

Check to see if there is any oil leakage. If necessary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL“ mark.

ENGINE OIL (Royal)

Change the oil for the first time after 20 hours of operation (or during the first month), and then after every 100 hours of operation or once every 6 months.

Change oil when the engine is warm. Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF, SG or SH).

The engine oil may be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.

Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe (fig. 13).

Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to get on the V-belts.

Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not damaged and that they are in the correct place.

Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil up to the “UPPER” mark.

Oil capacity:

Royal - 0.9 l (= oil quantity at change. In total the engine holds 1.15 l).

Oil type for all seasons: SAE 10W-40.

For extremely low temperatures (< -20° C), use SAE 5W-30.

Use oil without any additives.

Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the engine to overheat.

OIL FILTER – ENGINE

(Pro16 - Pro20)

Replace the oil filter after every 100 hours of operation or once a season.

Before screwing the new filter, oil the filter gasket with engine oil.

Screw the filter by hand, until the filter gasket touches the filter attachment. Then tighten ½ to ¾ of a full turn (fig. 14).

Start the engine and idle to see if any leakage occurs. Stop the engine. Check the oil level. If necessary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL” mark.

AIR FILTER - ENGINE

Comfort - President - Pro16 - Pro20:

Clean the foam pre-filter every 3 months or after every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Royal:

Clean the air filter every 3 months or after every 50 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Clean the spark plug after every 100 hours of operation or once a season. For replacing a spark plug, a spark plug sleeve A and a torsion pin B are provided in the accessories bag.

The engine manufacturer recommends:

Royal: NGK BPR5ES or DENSO W16EPR-U President-Comfort-Pro16-Pro20: Champion RC12YC

Correct spark gap: 0.75 mm.

COOLING AIR INTAKE - ENGINE

The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling system can damage the engine. The engine should be cleaned at least once a year or every 100 hours of operation.

Remove the fan casing. Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder, the fan and the rotating protective grille. Clean more frequently if mowing dry grass.

BATTERY

electrolyte level.

On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.

The battery must be fully charged before being used for the first time. The battery should always be stored fully charged. If the battery is stored while totally flat it could sustain permanent damage.

If the machine is not going to be used for an extended period (more than 1 month), the battery should be charged, disconnected and then stored in a cool, safe place. Charge the battery completely before reinstalling.

The battery can be charged in two ways:

1.Via a battery charger (recommended). This must be a charger with constant voltage. The battery can be damaged if a standard type battery charger (for acid batteries) is used.

Stiga recommends battery charger with item no. 1136-0602-01 which may be ordered by an authorised dealer.

2.You can also allow the engine to charge the battery. In this case it is very important, above all when starting the machine for the first time and when it has not been used for a long time, to allow the engine to run continuously for at least 45 minutes.

Do not short circuit the battery’s terminals. Sparks occur which can result in fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which can come into contact with the battery terminals.

In the event of damage to the battery casing, cover, terminals or interference to the strip covering the valves, the battery should be replaced.

If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with a wire brush and grease them.

LUBRICATION

The machine’s articulated steering joint has four grease nipples that should be lubricated with universal grease after every 25 hours of operation (fig. 20).

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V nominal voltage. The battery is completely maintenance free. You don’t have to check or top up the

Note: The fourth grease nipple is not shown on the picture. It is located on the underside, on the flexible axle’s front bearing.

Comfort-President-Royal:

Lubricate the steering chain with chain spray a couple of times per season.

Pro16-Pro20:

Lubricate the steering chains with chain spray a couple of times per season. If the steering chains are really dirty, dismantle them, wash them and then grease them once more.

Comfort-President-Royal:

The front wheel hub has grease nipples that should be lubricated after every 50 hours of operation (fig. 24).

Apply universal grease to all the plastic bearings a couple of times per season.

Apply a coating of engine oil to the tension arm joints a couple of times each season.

Apply a few drops of engine oil to both ends of the throttle control cables a couple of times a season.

The hydrostatic transmission is filled with oil (10W-40) on delivery from the factory. Unless it is opened (only to be performed by a specialist), and provided no leakage occurs, no topping up with oil should normally be carried out. Transmission oil does not normally need to be changed.

STEERING CABLES

(President - Comfort - Royal)

The steering cables should be adjusted for the first time after the machine has been in operation for 2 - 3 hours, and then after every 25 hours of operation.

Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

Tension the steering cables by tightening the nuts that are located on the underside of the articulated steering joint (fig. 21). The screws in the ends of the cables should be held firmly during adjustment so that the cables are not twisted. Use an adjustable wrench or similar for this purpose, inserting it in the key handles in the ends of the screws. Tension until all play is removed.

Stiga Park Pro 16 4wd Manual

Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure that the alignment of the steering wheel is not changed.

Once the adjustment is complete, turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in either direction. Check that the chain does not come into contact with the pulley, and that the cables do not become entangled with the steering pinions.

Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Otherwise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear on the cables will increase.

STEERING CHAINS (Pro16 - Pro20)

The steering chains should be adjusted for the first time after the machine has been in operation for 2 - 3 hours, and then after every 50 hours of operation.

Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

Tension the steering chains by tightening up the nuts that are located on the underside of the articulated steering joint (fig. 21). Tension until all play is removed.

Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure that the alignment of the steering wheel is not changed.

Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will cause the steering to become heavy and will increase wear on the steering chains.

pressed position.

Depress the brake pedal fully. Move the
inhibitor to the right and then release the
brake pedal.

The parking brake is released by pressing the brake
pedal. The spring-loaded inhibitor slides to one
side.

Make sure that the parking brake is released when
operating the machine.

5. DRIVE PEDAL

A pedal that activates the variable transmission.

1. Depress the pedal with the
ball of your foot – the machine
moves forwards.

2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.

3. Depress the pedal with your
heel – the machine reverses.

The drive pedal regulates the speed. The more
pressure applied, the faster the machine will move.

6. ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL

The height of the steering wheel is infinitely ad-
justable. Undo the adjustment knob on the steering
column and raise or lower the steering wheel to the
desired position. Tighten.

Do not adjust the steering wheel during opera-
tion.

7. THROTTLE/CHOKE CONTROL

A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold. (The latter
does not apply to Royal-Pro16-Pro20 which have
separate choke control – see item 8).

1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke is located in top of groove (does not
apply to Royal-Pro16-Pro20). Avoid op-
erating the machine in this position, taking
care to move the control to full throttle
(see below) when the engine is warm.

2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.

3. Idling.

8. CHOKE CONTROL
(Royal - Pro16 - Pro20)

A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold.

1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.

2. Control pushed in – choke valve open.
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine.

Never operate the machine with the choke
pulled out when the engine is warm.

9. IGNITION LOCK/SPOTLIGHT

Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine.
Also includes switch for spotlight (Senator does
not have a spotlight). Four positions:

1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.

2. Operating position – spotlight activat-
ed.

3. Operating position – spotlight not acti-
vated.

4. Start position – the electric start motor
is activated when the key is turned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 3.

To turn on the spotlight, turn the key to position 2.

NOTE! If the key is turned from the stop posi-
tion to operating position 2, the spotlight is acti-
vated. This uses up battery power. Do not leave
the machine with the key in position 2 (applies
to Pro16-Pro20).

10. POWER TAKE-OFF

A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for operating front-mounted accessories.
Two positions:

1. Lever in forward position – power take-
off disengaged.
