Frequently Asked Questions - Tornado 5108 STIGA
How do I start the STIGA Tornado 5108 tractor?
To start the tractor, sit in the operator seat, ensure the parking brake is engaged, and the blade system is disengaged. Turn the ignition key to the on position and hold the starter until the engine begins to run. Release the key immediately after starting.
What type of engine oil should I use?
Use a high-quality detergent oil with an API classification of SF or higher. The recommended viscosity is SAE 30 for temperatures above 32°F (0°C), or SAE 5W-30 for cold weather. Check the oil level regularly.
How do I adjust the cutting height of the deck?
The cutting height can be adjusted using the positioning lever located near the seat. Pull the lever outward and shift it into one of the available 7 positions to achieve the desired grass height. Ensure the engine is off before adjusting.
How often should I sharpen the mower blades?
Sharpen the blades at least once a season or after 20 to 25 hours of mowing. Inspect them for damage and balance after sharpening. A dull blade tears grass, causing stress to the lawn.
How do I replace the drive belt?
If the drive belt is worn or damaged, first disconnect the spark plug for safety. Remove the deck guard, release belt tension by loosening the tensioner pulley, then slip the belt off the pulleys. Install a new genuine STIGA belt following the routing diagram under the deck.
What safety precautions should I take before mowing?
Always read the manual, wear protective eyewear and sturdy shoes. Clear the mowing area of stones and debris. Keep passengers off the tractor. Engage the blade stop when crossing driveways or paths. Never mow on slopes over 15°.
How do I maintain the air filter?
The air filter should be checked after every 10 hours of use. Remove the filter cover, take out the foam element, and wash it with a mild detergent and water. Dry it completely before oiling it lightly with SAE 30 oil. Replace the paper element if it is dirty.
How can I achieve the mulching function with my tractor?
To mulch, install the mulching plug in the rear discharge opening of the deck. Close the side discharge chute using the mulching cover. This will recirculate the clippings into fine particles that decompose quickly.
What is the recommended tyre pressure?
The recommended tyre pressure is 14 psi (1 bar) for the front tyres and 10 psi (0.7 bar) for the rear tyres. Check them regularly for even wear and optimum traction.
How should I store the tractor during winter?
For winter storage, run the fuel tank nearly empty, then start the engine to consume remaining fuel in the carburetor. Drain the oil and replace with fresh winter grade oil. Remove the battery and store it on a trickle charger. Keep the tractor indoors in a dry place and cover it to protect from dust.
