Caution: Fitting or changing a spark plug must be done with utmost caution so
as not to damage the screw thread in the engine. Secure the spark plug with a
torque of 20 Nm.
11.5.3. Change the air filter
This procedure is exactly the same as for cleaning the air filter (read § 11.4.3; page 40)
New, suitable air filters are available from your ELIET dealer or an authorised service centre of
the relevant engine brand.
11.5.4. General lubrication treatment
ELIET is committed to using high-quality materials that extend the machine’s life cycle despite
sometimes dusty work circumstances.
For this reason, special lubrication products have already been applied in the factory. ELIET also
recommends lubricating all the parts below on a regular basis:
• Bearings
• Hinges
• Lubrication nipples
• Cable guides
Caution: As applies to all maintenance work, the engine must be turned off.
Remove the spark plug cap. Utility gloves are essential.
a. Lubricating bearings
Bearings that are used under dusty circumstances
benefit from regular cleaning and lubrication.
1. Reduction gearbox bearing support (1x)
2. Jack bearings (3x)
3. Traction roller bearings (2x)
4. Bearings of the chain tensioner of the traction
roller drive (1x)
5. Bearings of the belt tensioner discharge jack
drive (2x)
6. Bearings for the belt tensioner of the blade
axle drive (2x)
7. Blade axle bearings (2x)
8. Wheel bearings (2x)
• To reach the points indicated, some protective covers will have to be removed. (read § 15.1; page
56)
• The bearings have dust seals to keep the dirt out. However, the lubricant applied on the bearing
at the factory will also become old and dry. To compensate this lack of lubricant, new lubricant
must be added from outside.
• To prevent any dirt from penetrating the bearing together with the lubricant, the bearing must
be cleaned first.
