SYMBOLS
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-

machine.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware of
objects being flung out.
Warning! Take out the safety key before
any type of maintenance is carried out.
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under the

When a red lamp lights up on the mower’s
control panel and/or a sound signal is acti-
vated, take out the safety key.
ASSEMBLY
When the machine was packed, it is possible that it
was equipped with a lead for maintenance charg-
ing. When the mower is taken out of the packag-
ing, this lead is no longer required and can be
removed.
HANDLEBAR
1. Set the highest cutting height (position 3, see also
under heading “cutting height”)
2. The components for assembling the handle’s
lower part are mounted for packaging. Remove
the components from the lower hole on the
chassis. Then fold up the lower part of the han-
dle and assemble the components. Note! Wash-
er A is fitted between the screw and the plastic
bushing (fig. 1).
3. Mount the upper part of the handle onto the
lower part with screws, washers and locking
nuts (fig. 2).
BATTERY
GENERAL
Before starting the mower for the first
time and after winter storage, you should
charge the battery for 1 - 2 days other-
wise the battery can be damaged.
In order for the battery to maintain its
capacity and to give optimum perform-
ance, it is important that the charging
and storage instructions are carefully fol-
lowed.
The battery used in this machine is a lead-acid
type battery. This type of battery must always
be stored fully charged.
Always charge the battery indoors, in a garage,
etc. where the battery is dry and protected from
the weather.
Only charge the battery when the temperature is
at least 0°C and not over +40°C. Charging in
lower or higher temperatures can damage the
battery.
Always keep the mower battery away from wa-
ter, sources of heat (ovens, radiators, open fires,
etc.) and hazardous chemicals.
Always use the accompanying genuine Stiga
charger. Never use the charger for any other
product.
Never use the charger if it is damaged in any way.
A damaged lead or charger should immediately
be replaced at an authorised service workshop
Take care of the leads. Never carry the charger
by the lead. When charging is complete pull out
the plug not the lead. If an extension cable is
used, use a robust sort suitable for outdoor use,
even if the battery is never charged outdoors.
The charger always feels warm to touch, during
the first hours of charging.
