STARTING AND OPERATING  
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL  
(Master - Senator - Comfort - Presi-  
dent)  
ENGINE CASING  
The engine casing must be removed to inspect and  
maintain the engine and battery. Removing:  
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30 oil.  
Check the oil level every time before using to  
ensure that it is correct. The machine should be  
standing on level ground.  
1. Lift up the two catches on the rear edge (fig. 4).  
2. First pull the engine casing backwards slightly.  
Then lift it off.  
Wipe clean round the oil dipstick. Release  
it and pull out. Wipe, push down fully and  
screw it back in.  
Fitting:  
1. Tilt the seat forward.  
Unscrew it and pull out again. Check the oil level.  
Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark if the oil level  
is below this (fig. 7).  
2. Align the casing’s top front pegs to the recesses  
in the front of the engine casing (fig. 5). Do not  
push the pegs in yet (see item 4 below).  
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL (Royal)  
3. Place the casing’s bottom pegs in the groove in  
the shock absorber.  
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE oil  
10W-40.  
4. Guide in the two side pegs in the groove in the  
front engine casing. Now press forward the  
complete casing.  
Check the oil level every time before using to  
ensure that it is correct. The machine should be  
standing on level ground.  
5. Finally, push down the two catches.  
Wipe clean round the oil dipstick. Release  
it and pull out. Wipe, push down fully  
without screwing it back in.  
The machine must not used without the  
engine casing fitted. Risk for burn inju-  
ries and pinch injuries.  
Pull out again and check the oil level. Top up with  
oil to the “FULL” mark if the oil level is below this  
(fig. 8).  
FILLING THE FUEL TANK  
Always use clean unleaded petrol. Never use oil-  
mixed 2-stroke petrol (fig. 6).  
SAFETY SYSTEM  
NOTE! Bear in mind that standard unleaded petrol  
is perishable. Never purchase more than what you  
can use within 30 days.  
This machine is equipped with a safety system that  
consists of:  
- a switch at the gear lever (only Master, Senator,  
Comfort).  
- a switch at the brake pedal (only President,  
Royal).  
Environmentally-friendly petrol is a good choice  
of petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that  
is less hazardous for people and nature.  
- a switch in the seat mounting (all).  
Petrol is highly inflammable. Store pet-  
rol in specially made containers for this  
purpose.  
In order to start the machine, the following are nec-  
essary:  
7
 
GB  
ENGLISH  
- gear lever in neutral (only Master, Senator,  
Comfort).  
- brake pedal pressed down.  
- driver sitting on the seat.  
STOPPING  
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking  
brake.  
Allow the engine to idle for 1 - 2 minutes. Stop the  
engine by turning off the starter key.  
Always check the operation of the safe-  
ty system before using the machine!  
Shut off the fuel cock. This is particularly impor-  
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer  
for example.  
With the engine running and the driver sitting on  
the seat, check as follows:  
- select a gear, and lift your weight off the seat –  
the engine should stop (only Master, Senator,  
Comfort).  
If the machine is left unattended, re-  
move the lead from the spark plug. Re-  
move also the starter key.  
- press the drive pedal so that the machine starts to  
move, and then release the drive pedal – the ma-  
chine should stop (applies to President, Royal).  
- engage the power take-off, lift your weight off  
the seat – the power take-off should disengage  
The engine can be very hot immediately  
after the engine is stopped. Do not touch  
the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges  
to avoid burn injuries.  
OPERATING TIPS  
The machine must not be used if the  
safety system does not work! Take the  
machine to a service agent for inspec-  
tion.  
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in the  
engine when driving on slopes (oil level at “FULL ”).  
Be careful when driving on slopes. No  
sudden starting or stopping when mov-  
ing up or down a slope. Never drive  
across a slope. Drive from the top and  
down, or from the bottom and up.  
STARTING  
1. Open the fuel cock (fig. 9).  
2. Check that the spark plug cable is in place.  
3. Check that the power take-off is disengaged.  
When going down slopes greater than  
20º the rear wheels can lift from the  
ground. However, the mower deck pre-  
vents the machine from tipping over  
forwards.  
4a. Master - Senator - Comfort:  
Put the gear lever in neutral.  
4b. President - Royal:  
Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.  
The machine, equipped with original  
accessories, must not be driven in any  
direction on slopes with a gradient of  
more than 10°.  
5. 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).  
Reduce speed on slopes and when mak-  
ing sharp turns to prevent the machine  
from tipping over, and to make sure you  
do not loose control of the machine.  
6. Press down the brake pedal fully.  
7. Turn the starter key and start the engine.  
8. Once the engine has started, move the throttle  
control gradually to full throttle if the choke has  
been used.  
Do not turn the steering wheel to full  
lock when driving in top gear and at full  
throttle. The machine can tip over.  
9. When starting a cold engine let the engine run  
for a few minutes before using the machine. This  
allows the oil to warm up.  
Keep hands and fingers away from the  
seat mounting. Risk of pinch injuries.  
Never operate the machine without the  
engine casing.  
When in use, always run the engine at full throttle.  
Never drive with the mower deck en-  
gaged and lifted up. This will damage  
the drive belt to the unit.

CHANGING THE OIL  
(Master - Senator - Comfort - Presi-  
dent)  
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE  
SERVICE PROGRAMME  
Change the engine oil for the first time after 5  
hours of operation, and then after every 50 hours of  
operation or once per season.  
STIGA’s Service Programme should be followed  
to keep the machine in good condition in terms of  
reliability and operational safety, and from an en-  
vironmental perspective.  
Change the oil more often, every 25 hours of oper-  
ation or at least once per season, if the engine has  
to operate under very demanding conditions or if  
the ambient temperature is high.  
The contents of this programme can be found in  
the attached service log.  
We recommend that an authorised workshop car-  
ries out every service. This guarantees that the  
work is carried out by trained personnel and with  
original spare parts.  
Change the oil when the engine is warm. 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 switching off  
the engine. For this reason allow the en-  
gine to cool for a few minutes before  
draining the oil.  
The service log should be stamped at every serv-  
ice. A “fully stamped” service log is a valuable  
document that improves the machine’s second-  
hand value.  
Unscrew the oil drain plug (fig. 10). It is located on  
the left side of the engine (machine seen from rear).  
PREPARATIONS  
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-  
nance should be performed when the machine is  
stationary and with the engine switched off.  
Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Then  
take the oil to a recycling station. Avoid spilling  
oil on the V-belts.  
Always apply the parking brake to pre-  
vent the machine from rolling.  
Screw tight the oil drain plug.  
Take out the oil dipstick and fill up with new oil to  
the “FULL” mark.  
To prevent starting the engine involun-  
tarily, always release the spark plug  
lead from the spark plug and earth it.  
Remove the minus lead from the bat-  
tery.  
Oil capacity:  
Master – 1.1 litre  
Senator. Comfort, President – 1.4 litre  
Oil type, summertime (> 4° C): SAE -30  
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. The oil consump-  
tion may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is used.  
Check the oil level more regularly if this type of oil  
is used.  
CLEANING  
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-  
gine, silencer/catalytic converter, bat-  
tery and fuel tank, free from grass,  
leaves and oil.  
Oil type, winter (< 4° C): SAE 5W-30  
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30)  
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly  
check the machine for oil and/or fuel  
leakage.  
Do not use any additives with the oil.  
Do not overfill. This can result in the engine over-  
heating.  
When washing the machine with water under high  
pressure, do not point the jet directly at the trans-  
mission.  
CHANGING THE OIL (Royal)  
Change the engine oil for the first time after 20  
hours of operation (or during the first month), and  
then after every 100 hours of operation or every 6  
months.  
Do not point the jet at the engine. Use a brush or  
compressed air to clean it.  
Change the oil when the engine is warm. Use a  
good grade of oil (service grade SF, SG or SH).

GB  
ENGLISH  
The engine oil may be very hot if it is  
drained off directly after switching off  
the engine. For this reason allow the en-  
gine to cool for a few minutes before  
draining the oil.  
4. Clean the paper filter as follows: Tap it lightly  
against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty, re-  
place it.  
5. Assemble in the reverse order.  
Petroleum-based solvents such as kerosene must  
not be used to clean the paper filter. These solvents  
will damage the filter.  
Unscrew the oil drain plug in the end of the tube  
(fig. 11).  
Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Then  
take the oil to a recycling station. Avoid spilling  
oil on the V-belts.  
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.  
The paper filter must not be oiled.  
SPARK PLUG  
Screw tight the oil drain plug. Make sure that the  
fibre gasket and O-ring inside the plug are undam-  
aged and in the correct position.  
Change the spark plug after every 100 hours of op-  
eration or every season. In the accessory bag there  
is a spark plug sleeve A and torsion pin B to  
change the spark plug.  
Take out the oil dipstick and fill up with new oil to  
the “FULL” mark.  
The engine manufacturer recommends:  
Oil capacity:  
Royal – 0.9 litre (= when changing; total engine  
capacity is 1.15 litre).  
Master - Senator - Comfort - President: Champion  
J19LM.  
Royal: NGK BPR5ES or DENSO W16EPR-U.  
Oil type for all seasons: SAE 10W-40.  
Fir very low temperatures (< -20° C), use SAE  
5W-30.  
Correct electrode gap: 0.75 mm (fig. 14).  
COOLING AIR INTAKE - ENGINE  
(Master - Senator - Comfort - Presi-  
dent)  
Do not use any additives with the oil.  
Do not overfill. This can result in the engine over-  
heating.  
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-  
tem can damage the engine. The engine should be  
cleaned every 100 hours of operation or at least  
once a year.  
AIR FILTER - ENGINE  
Master - Senator - Comfort - President:  
Clean the pre-filter every year or after every 25 op-  
erating hours, whichever comes first.  
Remove the fan casing. Clean the cooling fins on  
the cylinder, the fan and the rotating protective  
grille (fig. 15). Clean more frequently if moving  
dry grass.  
Clean the paper filter every year or every 100 op-  
erating hours, whichever comes first.  
Royal:  
BATTERY  
Clean the air filter (per-filter and paper filter) every  
3 months or after every 50 operating hours, which-  
ever comes first. Change the paper filter every year  
or every 200 operating hours.  
Check the acid level regularly.  
The acid level should lie between the “UPPER”  
and “LOWER” markings on the battery (fig. 16).  
When adjusting the acid level, only use distilled  
water.  
All models:  
NOTE! Clean both filters more often if the ma-  
chine is used in dusty conditions.  
The battery acid is extremely corrosive  
and can cause burns on the skin and  
clothing. Use rubber gloves and protect  
your eyes with protective glasses. Avoid  
inhaling the acid fumes.  
1. Remove the air filter cover (fig. 12 - 13).  
2. Dismantle the paper filter and pre-filter (= foam  
plastic filter). Make sure that no dirt gets into the  
carburettor. Clean the air filter housing.  
3. Wash the pre-filter in liquid detergent and water.  
Squeeze dry. Pour a little on the filter and squeeze  
in the oil.

LUBRICATION - CHASSIS  
00 1080 (SE).  
The machine has three grease nipples on the rear  
axle, which should be lubricated with universal  
grease after every 25 operating hours (fig. 17).  
Lubricate the steering cables with universal grease  
a couple of times per season.  
Lubricate the plastic bearings with universal  
grease a couple of times per season.  
Lubricate the tension arms joints with engine oil a  
couple of times per season.  
Drop a little engine oil in both ends of the throttle  
control cable a couple of times per season.  
Master - Senator - Comfort:  
The transmission is filled with oil (SAE 80W-90)  
on delivery from the factory. If it is not opened  
(which must only be done by a specialist) it should  
not normally need topping up with oil.  
STEERING CABLES  
Adjust the steering cables for the first time after 2  
– 3 hours of operation, and then after every 25  
hours of operation.  
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the  
nuts (fig. 18). Important! The “screw ends” of the  
steering cables should be held firmly during the  
adjustment so that the cables are not twisted. Use  
an adjustable wrench or the like, inserting it in the  
key handles in the ends of the screws.  
Tension the cables until they are no longer slack.  
Do not tension the cables too hard. This can cause  
unnecessary wear on the steering cables and pul-  
leys etc.  
STIGA reserves the right to modify the product without  
giving any prior notice.
