b. Lubricating the hinges
To avoid wear of hinging parts or friction zones, apply lubricant regularly.
Pay special attention to the following areas:
• The tilting point of the engine’s fixing plate
• Attachment points of the starter cord
• Hinge of the blade clutch handle
Follow this procedure:
• First spray the friction zones with cleaner. Allow it to sit for a while. ELIET recommends
NOVATIO KLEENSPRAY-S.
• Wipe away old lubricant with a cloth or paper tissue.
• Once the friction zones are clean, new lubricant can be applied to the
contact areas. We recommend NOVATIO PTFE OIL or SUNOCO MULTIPURPOSE LR - EP2. All
lubricants indicated are available from your ELIET dealer.
11.5.2. Changing the oil
• Ensure that the engine is on an even surface and turned off.
• At the exhaust side of the engine, below the engine base, a plug is screwed into the crankcase.
(See the engine manual.)
• Get a one litre (2 quarts) container before unscrewing the plug.
• Empty the full contents (approx. 0.75l or 26 fl oz) from the engine.
• Screw the drain plug back on. Wipe away any spilled oil with a clean cloth.
• Remove the machine from its maintenance support and place it on flat ground.
• Refill the engine with fresh 4 stroke oil. For this, ELIET recommends using high-quality oil with a
high detergent level: SUNOCO DENALUBE SAE 20W50 API SF / CC.
• Fill approx. 0.75 litres or 27 fl oz of oil into the oil filler opening. Remove any spilled oil after
filling. For an accurate dipstick reading of the oil level, allow sufficient time for the oil to settle
in the crankcase.
• Place the dipstick in the filler opening without fastening it. After pulling it out again, the oil
attached to the dipstick should reach the maximum mark. If not, more oil must be added.
• Also check the engine manual.
Warning: Too little oil in the engine causes severe and irreparable engine dama-
ge.
11.5.3. Checking & adjusting the belt tension
The scarifier must be tilted to check the belt tension. The air filter must be removed prior to til-
ting the machine to prevent soiling it with oil. Don’t tilt the machine longer than necessary; place
it horizontally again as soon as possible. Should any oil seep back to the air filter compartment,
remove it with a dry and totally lint-free cloth and run the scarifier without the air filter for a
couple of minutes. Don’t forget to replace the air filter afterwards.
