Tyre Pressure; Safety Checks; General Safety Check - Stiga TC 102 Série Manuel D'utilisation

6.1.3 Tyre pressure

Having the right tyre pressure is the main
condition for ensuring that the cutting-means
assembly is horizontal and mows evenly.
1. Unscrew the valve caps
2. Connect a compressed air line with
a gauge to the valves (fig. 18)
3. Adjust the pressure according to the values
indicated in the "Technical Data" chart.
6.1.4 Preparing the machine
before starting work
NOTE This machine can be used to
mow lawns in a number of different ways;
before starting work, prepare the machine
based on how the lawn is to be mowed.
a. Preparation for grass cutting and
collection in the grass catcher (for
rear collection models only)
– Couple the grass catcher (fig. 20.A) to
its supports (fig. 20.B) and centre it with
respect to the plate, making sure that the
two reference marks are aligned (fig. 20.B).
– Make sure that the lower pipe
of the grass catcher opening is
attached to the pawl (fig. 20.C).
– If the coupling is difficult or too loose,
regulate the retaining spring (see 8.9).
b. Preparation for mowing and rear
grass dumping (models with rear
grasscatcheronly)(iffitted)
– If you decide to work without the grass
catcher, a rear dumping guard kit (fig. 21;
chap. 15.5) is available upon request.
This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the instructions.
c. Preparation for mowing and
mulching of grass
– If you decide to mow the grass, mulching
it and leaving it on the grass, a "mulching"
kit is available upon request (chap.
15.1). This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the instructions.
In the case of models with
side dumping, make sure that the
lateral dumping support has been
mounted (fig. 20.A) (if fitted).
d. Prepare the machine for cutting
and lateral grass dumping (for
models with side dumping only)
– Always make sure that the internal
deflector springs (fig. 19.A) function
correctly, maintaining it in the
lowered position at all times.
– When cutting tall or wet grass,
we recommend removing the
lateral dumping strengthener
(fig. 20.A) (if fitted).
– To remove the strengthener, undo the
screws (fig. 20.B) while maintaining
the side dumping deflector in the
raised position (fig. 20.C).
In the event of collisions without
the side dumping strengthener
fitted (fig. 20.A), the cutting-means
assembly may be deformed.
Always remember to replace the
side dumping strengthener after use.
6.1.5 Positioning the anti-chipping wheels
The anti-chipping wheels are used to reduce
the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which
can occur when the edge of the cutting-means
assembly drags over irregular ground.
Position the wheels as indicated (par. 7.4).
