ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH WIRE
If the drive cannot be engaged or disengaged, it
may be that the clutch wire needs adjusting.
Adjust as follows:
1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing
the screws S (fig. 9).
2. When the clutch loop is released it should be
possible to pull the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the
locking nut U and screw in the nipple T until the
mower can be moved backwards (fig. 15).
3. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi-
tion 1) there should be some
resistance when moving the
mower backwards. With the
clutch loop fully pressed in
(position 2) it should not be
possible to pull the mower
backwards. Loosen the lock-
ing nut U and screw out the
nipple T until this position is
achieved.
4. Finally tighten the locking nut U.
CHANGING BLADES

when changing blades/knifeblades.
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.
Always check the blade after an impact. First dis-
connect 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 (fig. 16).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped STIGA log-
otype 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.
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.
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.
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For the sake of safety, the blades should not be
sharpenedonanemerywheel.Averyhightemper-
ature could cause the blade to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-
bration damage.
STORAGE
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.
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.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
