The solution is to wait a few minutes and then restart the engine. The problem will come back if
working on the slope is continued. After checking the oil level on an even surface (read § 11.3.3),
the oil safety system may be disengaged temporarily. Don’t forget to switch it back on after the
work is finished.
Attention: neither ELIET, nor HONDA accept warranty claims based on a lack of
oil in the machine.
If slopes are a recurring factor in a particular area, adding 0.2 litres of extra oil to the tank will
solve the problem.
d) Technical defect
If neither of the aforementioned inspections identifies the reason, the problem could be of a
more technical nature. A defect in the engine or a problem with the carburettor could be the
issue. For assistance with these problems, please visit your authorised ELIET dealer or an author-
ised service centre for the engine brand.
9.9.3 Loss of seed during transport
During transport, the machine leaves a trail of grass seed. This can result in vegetation between
paving stones and must therefore be avoided. Possible causes:
• A foreign object (stone, stick) is blocking the scatter openings. When closing the seed reservoir,
openings fail to slide shut completely, which causes seed loss.
• As a result of dirt in the bolt mechanism that opens and closes the seed reservoir, the tension
spring may not be strong enough to shut the bolt when the machine is being lifted. To solve
this problem, clean the crack in the bolt (with compressed air) when the seed reservoir is
empty.
• Check the tension spring located at the bottom of the seed reservoir (1).
• Check the compression spring located at the cable guide (2).
• Check that the black hinging handle to the left of the machine is working properly.
• The slide of the seed reservoir is opened and closed by moving the handle on the left hand
side of the machine back and forth a few times. Doing this may also solve any problems.
