• during lifting, it must be possible to assume the same posture without the risk of cramps;
• the position of the handlebar may not cause the operator any back problems.
What is the ideal height of the handlebar:
• At the ideal height, the handlebar reaches up to the second finger joints of a person who has
his arms stretched against his body.
• While holding the handlebar in his palms and slightly bending his knees, a user should be able
to lift the back of the machine simply by stretching his legs.
• While lifting the machine, the user’s arms, legs and back must be straight for minimum effort.
• When riding a straight line, the user will automatically bend forward and thus slightly lean
on the handlebar. In this manner, he operates the dead man’s handle without having to exert
additional pressure with his fingers, which avoids fatigue as a result of cramps of the muscles
of the forearm.
• By leaning on the handlebar during operation, the user exerts additional pressure on the rear
roller, thus enhancing the levelling of the soil.
How to set it up:
• Undo the star knob at the bottom of the handlebar to disengage the teeth of the lock. (1)
• The handlebar can now be tilted into the desired position. (2)
• Next, re-tighten the star knob to ensure that the teeth of the
lock engage. (3)
9.4.2 Refuelling
When petrol in the machine is running low, it must be refuelled. The use of fresh petrol is
recommended at all times. Use unleaded petrol, preferably with an octane index of 98 or 99.
Warning :
Under certain conditions, petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Fires and petrol explosions can inflict severe burns and cause damage to
personal property. Consequently, the following points should be observed:
• Never refuel with the engine running. Always allow the engine to cool off for several minutes
prior to fuelling.
• Use fresh petrol only. ELIET is environmentally conscious and, therefore, recommends using
unleaded petrol. To preserve fuel freshness for longer periods of time, additives may be used.
• Store the petrol in an approved tank. Keep out of reach of children.
