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  
The handlebar has four different positions. Release  
the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to  
the desired position (fig. 3).  
Check before using the machine that the oil level is  
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the  
dipstick (fig. 6, 7, 8).  
1. For normal mowing.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
 
GB  
ENGLISH  
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.  
 
GB  
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.
