• Choosing an obstacle-free access route towards the terrain will considerably reduce the risk of
damage to the surface.
• Avoid riding the machine across unstable or soggy surfaces. If the rollers slip and the 385kg
or 415kg weighing machine digs itself in, it will be hard to release it. Take account of a surface
pressure of 0.6 kg/cm

• If you ever start losing control over the machine, immediately let go of the handlebars so that
all operating levers switch back to neutral and all drives are deactivated.
• ELIET cannot beheld liable for damage to property.
• If the machine consistently bears off to one direction, then the settings must be adjusted.
Consult your dealer for assistance.
• For the correct method to ride the machine in and out of a van, read § 10 Transport of the
machine.
For your information:
Machine breakage or defects resulting from incompetent driving are excluded
from the warranty conditions.
9.6.2 Planning and determining the track and the work pattern.
• A work pattern will depend on the state of the terrain and the preparations already made. The
following criteria apply.
• Shape of the terrain. Long strokes with few turns enhance the work speed.
• The terrain’s profile. Slight slopes can best be worked by riding the slope lengthwise. For
steeper slopes, the best work method is to drive up and down the slope.
• Which obstacles must be considered? The angle for approaching obstacles depends on
where it is easiest to make a turn.
• Eliminating turning zones. This can be important for an easy and quick finish of the turning
zones after completion of the rest of the terrain.
• If the work is done under windy conditions, the route will be arranged such that the dust
produced during the operation will be blown away from the machine.
9.6.3 Crumbling and levelling
After the ground has been tilled or worked with the crane, it has to be crumbled and levelled out.
The lawnseeder combi features to be used in this case are the rollers and the vibrating harrows.
The rollers ensure that the soil is pressed tightly and that the largest earth clods are being
pulverised. Thanks to their intense movement, the vibrating harrows subsequently till the soil,
reducing any clods and evening the surface at the same time. The rear roller finally ensures that
the soil is pressed and crumbled.
Depending on the condition of the soil it may be necessary to work the same surface several
times.
