General Information; Operating Suggestions; After Use - Stiga ST 526 S Manual De Instrucciones

The fuel tap must be closed
whenever the machine is not operating.
The engine may be very warm
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the exhaust or adjacent parts.
This can cause burn injuries.
IMPORTANT If you must move away from the
machine, always remove the safety key (fig. 15.A).

6.5 OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

• Snow removal is more efficient when it is
still fresh. Go again through the cleared
areas to remove snow residues
• If possible, eject the snow in the wind
direction. Check the distance and the
direction of the jet of ejected snow.
• In case of strong winds, lower the deflector
so as to guide the discharged snow on the
ground, reducing thus the possibility of the
snow being carried away in improper areas.
• Upon finishing the work, leave the machine
running for a few minutes, to avoid the
formation of ice in the ejection outlet.
• Always maintain a speed adequate to
the snow conditions and adjust it so that
the snow is ejected at a constant flow.
• Reduce the engine rotations
before stopping it.

6.6 AFTER USE

• Clean (par. 7.4).
• Move all controls forward and
backward several times.
• Check that the choke is engaged.
• Make sure there are no loose or
damaged components. If necessary,
replace the damaged components and
tighten any loose screws and bolts.
Do not cover the machine until
the engine and the muffler are cold.

petrol has a lower impact on people and on the
environment. No negative effects have been
reported in connection to their use. Nonetheless,
there are types of alkylate petrol on the market
for which it is not possible to provide specific
indications on their use. For further information,
refer to the instructions and data provided by
the manufacturer of the alkylate based petrol.
