Adjusting The Clutch Cable; Changing Blades - Stiga 46 SE Gebrauchsanweisung

Tecumseh: Champion RJ17LM, RJ19LM,
Spark gap 0,6 mm.
BATTERY (Multiclip 46 SE)
Electrolyte in the battery is toxic and
corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion
damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin,
eyes and clothing.
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be start-
ed with the starter key, it may be because the battery
is 'dead'. Connect the battery charger to the terminal
on the battery and put on charge for 24 hours (fig.
5). On completion of charging, connect the battery
terminal to the terminal on the motor.
Note! The battery charger must not be connected
to the engine terminal. The engine cannot be start-
ed by using the charger as a source of power sup-
ply, and the charger will be damaged.
WINTER STORAGE
Store the lawn mower for the winter with the bat-
tery well-charged in a dry and cool place (between
0° C and +15° C). At least once during the winter
storage period the battery should be maintenance-
charged. Before the start of the season the battery
should be charged once again for 24 hours.

ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE

If the drive does not engage when the coupling
clamp is pressed against the steering handle the
reason may be that the clutch cable is too slack.
Adjust as follows:
1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing
the screws S (fig. 18).
2. When the clutch loop is released it should be
possible to pull the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the
locking nut U and screw in the nipple T until the
mower can be moved backwards (fig. 26).
ENGLISH

CHANGING BLADES

Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades/knifeblades.
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.
Always check the blade after an impact. First dis-
connect 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 K. 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. 27).
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.
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 ma-
chine.
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
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.

3. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi-
tion 1) there should be some re-
sistance when moving the
mower backwards. With the
clutch loop fully pressed in (po-
sition 2) it should not be possible
to pull the mower backwards.
Loosen the locking nut U and
screw out the nipple T until this
position is achieved.
4.Finally tighten the locking nut
U.
