machine.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep spectators away. Bewareof
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

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. Setthehighestcuttingheight(position3,seealso
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 Ais 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
timeandafter winter storage, youshould
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 arecarefully 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

• 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.
• Neverusethechargerifitisdamagedinanyway.
A damaged lead or charger should immediately
be replaced at an authorised service workshop
• Take care of the leads. Never carry the charger
by thelead. When charging is completepull 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.

or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector unit while the motor is
running.
1. Fix the battery in place in the mower (fig. 4).
2. Insert the safety key into the control panel (fig.
5). When the safety key is in place, the green
lamp willbe lit. If it is not, check that the engine

2. Clean the mower (see the “Maintenance” sec-
tion under the heading “Cleaning”).
3. Recharge the battery once it has cooled down
(after about 30 minutes).
If the safety handle has stopped work-
ing, remove the safety key and take the
mower to an authorised service work-
shop to be repaired.
CONTROL PANEL (fig. 8)
The control panel has the following functions:
1. It includes the socket for the safety key. The safe-
ty key also has an in-built engine protection. If
the engine protection has been activated, remove
the safety key and reset the engine protection
(fig. 6).
2. It includes three lamps which indicate the bat-
tery’s charge level:
AGreen = the battery is charged to between 30%
and 100% of full capacity.
BYellow = the battery’s power has reduced. Be-
tween 5% and 30% remains.
CRed = 5% or less of the battery power remains.
The machine will begin to beep and will switch
itself off automatically. Stop mowing and re-
charge the battery once it hascooled down (after
about 30 minutes). Do not use the mower again
until the battery is fully charged.
Important: do not allow the battery power to com-
pletelyrundownasthis maydamagethebatteryand
shorten its operational life.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
The battery must always be charged
directlyafter finishingmowingandas
soon as it has cooled down (after
about 30 minutes).
1. Charge the battery outside of the mower in a
dry and cool place.
2. Firstconnecttheroundplugfromthecharger to

MOWING TIPS
For best cutting results and to ensure that the bat-
tery lasts as long as possible, the following rules
should be followed:
• Drive the mower at a slow and even pace
• Try to avoid excessive starting and stopping, as
this draws a lot of current.
• Make surethat themotor isrunning at full speed
at all times when mowing.
• Mow regularly and often, especially when the
grass is growing quickly. Do notmow more than
a third of the total height of the grass during one
mowing session.
• Always use a sharp blade.
• Do not use the mower when it is raining or when
the grass is wet.
• Make surethat theunderside ofthe cuttingdeck
is kept clean.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
When adjusting the cutting height, first-
ly pull out the safety key.
The cutting height can be adjusted to three posi-
tions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 9).
Position 1 = Lowest cutting height
Position 3 = Highest cutting height
MAINTENANCE
Take out the safety key and remove the
batterybeforeany type ofmaintenanceis
carried out.
CLEANING
The mower should be cleaned after each use. Use a
damp rag or sponge with a mild soap solution. Do
notusewaterordetergentsforcleaning.Removeall
grass clippings which have gathered under the
cover.
CHANGING THE BLADE
Check,beforeandaftereachuse,thatthe
blade is tightly fixed and that it is not
damaged. A bent or damaged blade
should immediately be replaced. Use pro-
tective gloves to avoid cutting injuries.
Blunt and/or damaged blades tear off the grass and
make the lawn look ugly after mowing. New, well-
sharpened blades cut off the grass and ensure that it
looks green and fresh after it has been mown.
Remove the battery. Put the accompanying wrench
(36 mm) on the hexagon holder. Loosen the blade
nut with an adjustable wrench or another type of
fixed wrench (19 mm) (fig. 10). Turn the blade nut
in an anti-clockwise direction in order to remove the
blade.
Fit the new blade and refit all the other partsexactly
as they were before they were dismantled, see fig.
10. Tighten the blade nut fully.
SHARPENING THE BLADE
Water grinding with whetstone or a grinding stone
should be used to sharpen the blade.
For safety reasons, the blade should not be sharp-
ened on an emery wheel. Too high a temperature
can result in the blade becoming brittle.
If the blade is sharpened, it must be bal-
anced afterwards to avoid vibration
damage (fig. 11).
