  • Page 35: Engine Oil Change

    Caution : Topping off the oil level is a meticulous job : do not overfill the reservoir to extend engine life and maximize engine performance. • Gently replenish the oil reservoir. Regularly check the oil level on the dipstick (to see when the desired level has been reached).

  • Page 36: Changing Or Refilling The Hydraulic Oil

    11.3.3 Changing or refilling the hydraulic oil • The total capacity of the hydraulic oil reservoir is 10gts. • The hydraulic oil tank is positioned on the front of the machine (1). • The fuel cap is located on the top of the reservoir. (2) •...

  • Page 37: Changing The Air Filter

    These actions are almost identical to cleaning the air cleaner (see Chapter 11.3.5). The only differ- ence here is that the cartridge is replaced. New air cleaners of the correct type are available from your ELIET Dealer or from an authorized Honda or Subaru service centre.

  • Page 38: Machine Maintenance

    SHARP BLADES = OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE Pay particular attention to the following: Shredding garden waste with the ELIET shredding system takes place in two steps. We first have the contact of the blades with the garden waste when chopping takes place where the cutting block can be found.

  • Page 39: Reversing And Renewing The Shredding Blades

    The issue is to have the chippings leave the shredding chamber as quickly as possible with regard to the secondary shredding. The chippings, there- fore, must be quickly reduced until they are small enough to pass through the openings of the sieve screen. Every contact with the cutting area of a blade must make the individual chipping smaller.
  • Page 40 This ensures that the times that you grind will be very short and will ensure that you always work with the best possible cutting edge. (ELIET recommends grinding every 10 working hours.) • Avoid grinding at the same location for a longer period of time. Prevent local discoloration of blades;...
  • Page 41 • Never grind the rear side of a blade. In the case of RESIST/10 blades, the profile is on the rear side. If you grind away the teeth, the blade will lose a great deal of its cutting force. • The top of the blade is subjected to the heaviest loads during shred- ding.

  • Page 42: Checking The V-Belt For Correct Tension

    • Each blade is secured with two M8 bolts. Avoid injury to hands and always use two ring spanners with long handles to unscrew the bolts. (A/F 13) • Immediately replace any damaged bolts. • Do not pull away the blades using your hands but use a self-grip wrench. •...
  • Page 43 B Reversing the blades of group 2 Rule: Every blade disk has four blade positions. The blades are positioned at an angle for two positions (1) and the blades are approximately straight for two positions (2). The front side (F) of the blade must always be directed towards the axis line of the rotor for the slanted blades.
  • Page 44 11.4.3.2 To replace a shredding blade, proceed as follows: • New RESIST/10 sets are available form your ELIET Dealer under the following Art. n° BU 401 300 202 • Disassemble all bolts (M10) that secure the blades. Always use two ring spanners with long handles to unscrew these bolt attachments.

  • Page 45: Checking And Tightening The Drive Belt For Correct Tension

    11.4.4 Checking and tightening the drive belt for correct tension • Remove the belt guard (Chapter 11.2.1). • You can obtain the correct belt tension if you apply a point charge of 17lbs halfway through the distance between the centres of the pulleys and you can measure a deflection of 1/2” on the belt.

  • Page 46: General Lubrication

    11.4.5 General lubrication In view of the fact that the shredders often operate in extreme conditions, ELIET considers it im- portant to use high-quality materials. ELIET therefore recommends the use of special lubricants (from the assembly stage onwards). The following parts require regular lubrication: •...
  • Page 47 (e.g. in the joints of pivot points). • When the pivot points are clean, apply new lubricant. • ELIET recommends Novatio Clearlube as a lubricant for pivot points and ball joints. ELIET would recommend Novatio PFT grease for friction surfaces.

  • Page 48: Maintenance Schedule

    • Use compressed air to remove all traces of penetrating oil from the bearing and from the bearing joints. • Apply new lubricating oil. ELIET recommends Novatio ClearLube as a lubricant. • Wipe away any excess lubricant. 11.5 Maintenance schedule 11.5.1 Normal maintenance schedule...

  • Page 49: Special Maintenance

    11.5.2 Special maintenance A. Special maintenance of the blades After inserting the blades into the rotor, the blades will bed-in after a brief period. This can cause the tension on the bolts to decrease, with the risk that the blades may become dislodged between the blade plates.

  • Page 50: Maintenance After 50 Hours

    • Open the shredding chamber (see Chapter 11.2.4). • Clean the machine (see Chapter 9.8) • Inspect the blades, and if necessary, sharpen them (see Chapter 11.4.1) • Check the machine for signs of abnormal wear or fractures. • Check the bolts for correct tightness. (Blades, wheels, bearings, engine,…). •...
  • Page 51 • Maintenance after 100 hours. • Change blades • Changing the hydraulic oil and oil filter. • Air cleaner change. • Changing spark plugs. After performing maintenance or a repair, make sure that you correctly refit ALL guards.

  • Page 52: Winterizing The Machine

    • If the machine is to be stored outside, it must be well protected with a tarpaulin. Ensure that water does not directly fall onto the machine. At ELIET, we strongly recommend that the ma- chine is stored at a location that is well protected from the weather, etc.
