Stiga Villa Spring - Checking the Engine Oil Level (18; 19; 19 A); Electrical Safety Check; General Safety Check; Safety Checks

NOTE! Petrol is perishable and should
not remain in the tank for more than 30
days.
It is possible to use ecological fuels, i.e. alkylate
petrol. The composition of these petrols is less
harmful to people and the environment.
No negative eects linked to use of the same
have been reported. However, there are types
of alkylate-based petrol available on the market
for which it is not possible to give precise indica-
tions regarding their use.
For further information it is advisable to consult the
instructions and data provided by the producer of
the alkylate-based petrol.
Never ll the tank right to the top.
Leave a little space (equal to at least the whole
depth of the top-up mouth + 1 - 2 cm from the top
of the tank) so that when the petrol heats up it has
room to expand without overowing.
If you plan on putting the machine away
for a prolonged period (e.g. over the
winter), only put enough fuel in the tank

In fact, before storing the machine it is
a good idea to empty the fuel tank com-
pletely (see 10).
