S 400 B

Need help?

Do you have a question about the Stiga S 400 B and is the answer not in the manual?

This document is a user manual for an aerator-scarifier, identified as Model S 400 B. The manual provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, operation, maintenance, and safety, translated into multiple languages.

Function Description

The device is an aerator-scarifier designed for lawn care. Its primary functions are:

Aeration: To perforate the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively. This helps in improving soil drainage and reducing compaction.
Scarification: To remove thatch, moss, and other organic debris from the lawn surface. This process encourages healthier grass growth by allowing new shoots to emerge and preventing diseases.

The device is powered by an internal combustion engine, indicated by the "a scoppio" (internal combustion) designation in the CE declaration. It features a rotating rotor with blades or springs, depending on the chosen function (aeration or scarification), to perform the respective tasks.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual provides several technical specifications, particularly related to noise and vibration levels, and power.

Noise Levels:

Sound power level (LWA) measured according to directive 2000/14/CE:
- Guaranteed: 96 dB(A)
- Measured: 93 dB(A) (for 2005/88/EC)
Sound pressure level (LpA) at the operator's ear:
- Measured according to EN 81/1051/CEE: 81 dB(A)
- Measured according to 2006/42/CE - EN 27574: 3.0 dB(A)

Vibration Levels:

Vibration level (ahw) at the handle:
- Measured according to EN 1033: 4.9 m/s²
- Measured according to 2006/42/CE - EN 12096: 2.0 m/s²

Power:

Rated power of the engine: Not explicitly stated in kW or HP, but the CE declaration mentions "Loncin LC 165 F" and "Honda GP160" as potential engine types, which are typically in the 4-5 HP range.
Installed power: 2.15 kW (for Loncin LC 165 F) and 2.5 kW (for Honda GP160), as per the CE declaration.

Dimensions and Weight:

The manual includes a section for "Poids en kilogrammes" (Weight in kilograms), but the specific value is not provided in the summary tables.

Other Specifications:

Type: Aerator-Scarifier
Model: S 400 B
Year of manufacture: Not specified in the summary.
Serial number: Not specified in the summary.
Article code: Not specified in the summary.
Name and address of manufacturer: Forges des Margerides - Les Sables, 03270 Hauterive, France.

Usage Features

The manual details several features related to the usage and operation of the device:

Assembly and Initial Setup:

Handlebar Assembly: The handlebars need to be assembled and secured using knobs and screws. The manual provides illustrations for this process (Figure 1.1).
Rotor Installation: The device comes with interchangeable rotors for aeration and scarification. The manual describes how to install and remove the rotor, emphasizing the importance of securing it correctly.
Depth Adjustment: The working depth of the rotor can be adjusted using a lever and a knob (Figure 1.1, items 10, 11, 12, 13). This allows the user to control the intensity of aeration or scarification based on lawn conditions.

Operation:

Starting the Engine: The manual outlines the steps for starting the internal combustion engine, which typically involves engaging a choke, pulling a starter cord, and then disengaging the choke once the engine is running (Figure 3.1).
Engaging the Rotor: The rotor is engaged by pulling a lever on the handlebar (Figure 2.1, 2.2). This lever acts as a safety mechanism, stopping the rotor if released.
Stopping the Engine: The engine can be stopped by releasing the rotor engagement lever or by using a dedicated "STOP" lever/button (Figure 3.3).
Grass Collector: The device can be fitted with a grass collector to gather removed thatch and debris (Figure 3.2).
Maneuverability: The device is designed to be pushed by the operator. The handlebars are adjustable for user comfort.

Safety Features:

Operator Presence Control: The rotor engagement lever acts as an operator presence control, ensuring the rotor stops if the operator releases the handle.
Protective Guards: The device is equipped with guards to prevent contact with moving parts and to direct debris away from the operator.
Warning Labels: The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding all warning labels on the machine.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Users are advised to wear appropriate PPE, including safety shoes, gloves, and hearing protection, due to noise and vibration levels.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides detailed instructions for maintaining the device to ensure its longevity and safe operation:

Routine Maintenance:

Cleaning: Regular cleaning of the machine, especially after each use, is crucial to remove grass, dirt, and debris. This includes cleaning the engine, chassis, and rotor area.
Rotor Inspection and Replacement: The aeration/scarification blades or springs on the rotor wear out over time. The manual instructs users to regularly inspect the rotor for damage or wear and to replace worn-out components.
Engine Maintenance:
- Oil Level Check: Regularly check and maintain the engine oil level.
- Spark Plug: Inspect and clean or replace the spark plug as needed.
- Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter to ensure proper engine performance.
- Fuel System: Use fresh, clean fuel and avoid storing fuel in the tank for extended periods.
Cable Inspection: Regularly check all control cables for wear, damage, or proper adjustment.

Storage:

Winter Storage: For long-term storage, especially during winter, the manual advises preparing the engine (e.g., draining fuel or adding stabilizer) and cleaning the entire machine thoroughly. Store the device in a dry, protected area.

Troubleshooting:

The manual includes a section for troubleshooting common issues, such as the engine not starting or the rotor not engaging, providing guidance on how to identify and resolve these problems.

General Maintenance Advice:

Authorized Service: For complex repairs or maintenance tasks beyond the scope of the user, the manual recommends taking the device to an authorized service center.
Original Spare Parts: Emphasizes the use of original spare parts for replacements to ensure safety and proper functioning.

The manual is a critical resource for users to safely and effectively operate and maintain their aerator-scarifier, ensuring optimal lawn care results and extending the life of the device.
