• In principle, the maintenance works described may be carried out by any person with techni
-
cal skills. Nevertheless, ELIET recommends that the machine be brought to an official ELIET
dealer for a complete inspection every year.
•
Your ELIET dealer is always ready to carry out maintenance and provide advice. He stocks gen-
uine ELIET replacement parts and lubricants. His staff can always obtain advice and service from
ELIET’s help desk in order to provide you with an impeccable after-sales service.
11.2 Lubricants
11.3 Routine check before each operation
11.3.1 Visual check
Check that no parts have been deformed, that welded seams are not cracked and that parts are
not excessively loose. If problems are found, carry out the necessary repairs first.
11.3.2 Engine oil level
• Take a clean cloth.
• Pull the dipstick from the filler opening.
• The oil level will usually be hard to read immediately. Wipe the dipstick with your clean towel
and re-insert it without fastening it.
• Pull the dipstick out again; you will now get an accurate reading of the oil level.
• The oil sticking to the dipstick should be between the minimum and maximum mark.
11.3.3 Cleaning the air filter
The type of air filter may differ slightly depending on the engine brand and type. Always read the
engine manual first.
• The air filter is located under the black protection cover next to the fuel reservoir on the
machine.
• Loosen the black protection cover.
• There are two types of filters: the common sponge filter and a paper filter, similar to the air
filter of a car.
• Sponge filters can be cleaned by rinsing them with some petrol and blowing them with
compressed air.
• Paper filters are cleaned by dusting them down or cleaning with compressed air.
• After cleaning, return everything to its original position.
