1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Contingent liability
Despite extensive work errors may occur
in this publication.
The author is not liable for incorrect or
missing information.
GGP SE reserves the right to make alter-
ations to the product without prior notifi-
cation at regular intervals. Information in
this publication is based on information
available at the time of production. Imag-
es and photographs may deviate from the
relevant machine models, which means
that they apply to several machine mod-
els.
1.1.2 How the manual is to be
used.
In order to make this manual easy to un-
derstand we have divided the manual into
the main components of the machine.
Each component therefore has its own
chapter.
Each chapter is divided into sections.
There is a quick guide on the cover,
which refers to the different chapters.
There is a table of contents in each chap-
ter so that it is easy to find the section that
you are looking for.
The headings in this manual are num-
bered in accordance with the following
example:
“1.2.1 Symbol, general warnings” is a
subheading to “1.2 Safety precautions”
and is included under this heading. When
referring to headings, only the number of
the heading is normally specified. For ex-
ample. “See 1.2.1”.
1.1.3 Abbreviations
Following abbreviations are used in this
manual:
PTO Power Take Off
ROPS Roll Over Protection System
Aux Auxiliary
1.2 Safety instructions
This manual is primarily written for
trained mechanics. The manual is, how-
ever, written in such a way that the user
can also carry out certain simple repairs.
Basic knowledge of repair and tool use is
a precondition of achieving a satisfactory
result.
Contact a qualified repairer if the knowl-
edge is not sufficient to carry out repairs.
During the guarantee period, all repair
work must be carried out by an author-
ised workshop for the guarantee to re-
main valid.
The following points must be observed
for the machine to function perfectly:
• Follow the maintenance schedule.
• Be alert to any sudden vibration or
noise to avoid damage to the machine.
• Always use genuine spare parts.
• Follow the descriptions in this manual
carefully. Never jump several stages or
instructions.

Warning!
This symbol indicates that per-
sonal injury may result if the in-
structions are not followed.
Note!
This symbol indicates that dam-
age to material or equipment may
result if the instructions are not fol-
lowed.
Note This text means that you should
read carefully.
1.2.2 Hot parts
Note that the engine and exhaust system
heat up during operation.
To avoid injury always allow the machine
engine and exhaust system to cool be-
fore starting any repair or service work.
1.2.3 Moving parts
All machines are equipped with v-belt
transmission. Always switch off the motor
and remove the key before carrying out
any service or repair work on the ma-
chine.
Always take great care, when systems
with moving parts are to be tested, to
avoid personal injury.
Always use genuine spare parts.
1.2.4 Lifting and raising
Before work under the machine can be
carried out, the lifting equipment or jack
capacity must be checked.

1.2.1 Symbols, general warnings 1.2.5 Cleaning
Clean the machine before starting repair
work. Dirt that penetrates sensitive com-
ponents can affect the service life and
function of the machine.
When the machine is used to spread
salt, daily cleaning and additional main-
tenance are required.
This is due to the corrosive action of salt
towards painted parts.
1) The machine must be washed with
non-heated water. Hot water will
cause a chemical reaction which ac-
celerates the corrosive process.
2) The wet machine must not be kept in
a closed, heated environment.
Additional maintenance consists in
protecting painted and galvanised parts
(frame, rims, motor, etc.) with a profes-
sional protective wax in order to prevent
possible corrosion. For instance, Divinol
Konservierungswachs has given excel-
lent anti-corrosion results.

1.3 Guarantee
1.3.1 Exceptions
The guarantee does not cover damage
due to:
• Failure by users to acquaint themselves
with accompanying documentation.
• Carelessness.
• Incorrect and non-permitted use or
assembly.
• The use of non-genuine spare parts.
• The use of accessories not supplied or
approved by Stiga.
Neither does the guarantee cover:
• Wear components such as blades,
belts, wheels, battery and cables.
• Normal wear.
• Engine and transmission. These are
covered by the engine manufacturer’s
guarantees, with separate terms and
conditions.
The purchaser is covered by the national
laws of each country. The legal rights of
the purchaser laws are not restricted by
this guarantee.
1.3.2 Conditions of the guarantee
The guarantee card must be filled in with
all information and then sent to Stiga or to
the Stiga dealership.
In the event of a claim a record of previ-
ous services must be shown by a copy of
the service book.
1.2.6 Tightening torques
Unless otherwise stated, the tightening
torques given in section 1.7.1 apply to the
relevant screw. This does not apply to
self-tapping screws, which are mainly
used for assembling body components.
1.2.7 Sharp edges
Look out for sharp edge’s, es’pecially
when working with the cutting deck. The
blades can be extremely sharp. Always
use gloves when working with the blades.
1.2.8 Spare parts
Always use genuine spare parts for re-
pairs.
1.2.9 Check
Each component that is removed in con-
junction with service, must be checked
for damage.
Look out for: wear, cracks, out of shape,
straightness, pitting, discolouration,
noise and jamming.

1.4 Unpacking, assembly
All Stiga Titans have undergone an ex-
tensive program of checks prior to deliv-
ery. The machines are supplied as fully
assembled as possible.
Thanks to this, final assembly after deliv-
ery is quick and easy.
Note!
The machine must remain on the
pallet while it is unpacked and as-
sembled.
1.4.1 Assembly
See assembly instructions (separate
book).

1.4.2 Battery
The battery is the sealed type, which
means that the electrolyte level cannot be
adjusted.
The charging level of the battery can be
read off on an indicator, positioned on the
upper section of the battery. The charging
level can also be read off using a voltme-
ter. The following then applies:
12.7 V Fully charged
12.4 V Half charged
12.0 V Drained
Warnings!
Do not wear rings, metal brace-
lets, necklaces or other similar
metal items when working with
batteries. That can lead to short
circuits or fires.
The battery must be fully charged
before it is used for the first time.
The battery should always be
stored fully charged. If the bat-
tery is stored while discharged,
serious damage can occur.
If the cables are disconnected/
connected in the wrong order,
there is a risk of a short-circuit
and damage to the battery.
If the cables are switched it can
result in damage to the alternator
and battery.
The engine must never be run
with the battery disconnected. It
can result in damage to the al-
ternator and electrical system.
Charging with the engine
The battery is also charged using the en-
gine’s alternator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install
an extraction device for the exhaust
fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the
instructions in the instructions for use.
4. Allow the machine to run continuously
for 45 minutes (does not apply to fully
discharged battery).
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now
be fully charged.
This should be done before longer storage
periods.
Charging using battery charger
The battery must be charged at 4A - 8A.
Higher charging current will damage the
battery.

1.4.3 Final checks
Actions before starting
Carry out the following before starting the
machine:
• Check/top up with fuel.
• Check/adjust the engine oil level.
• Check/adjust the coolant level.
• Check to make sure that the air filter
indicator has not been tripped.
• Check that the water separator and fuel
filter taps are open.
• Check that the water separator does
not contain water. Drain if necessary.
• Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank.
The oil level is visible in the sight glass.
• Carry out safety checks.
• Check that the disengagement lever is
in the inner position. Refer to the
machine’s instructions for use.
• Check that the distance from the centre
of the wheel to the ground is the same
for all 4 wheels. If not adjust the air
pressure. See image below.
Test driving
Run the engine to operating temperature
at idle speed before test driving. For more
in-depth instructions see “6.8” in the in-
structions for use. Run the machine for a
few minutes. Test all functions. Check in
particular that the safety equipment func-
tions. If the machine is to be supplied with
a cutting deck or other equipment, this
equipment must be installed before test
