    • There is a 100° range of motion in the steering angle, 50° in each direction from the normal. • To adjust, first loosen the middle lever underneath the steering. • The entire steering is decoupled by rotating the locking pin, the up- permost lever, downwards. • Move the steering rack laterally to the preferred position or in 1 of the 3 pre-sets (upright, 31.5° left offset, 31.5° right offset). • Should you decide to use one of the pre-sets, then you should first set the locking pin in an upright position. • If a random position is chosen, then you only need to screw the middle lever back in.

  • Page 39: Motor Shuts Off Whilst In Use

    - Without the proper ignition, it will be impossible to get the motor up and running. For this reason, check the spark plug (see §11.4.1.5.: Checking the spark plug). - Should you have any doubts or concerns, consult your ELIET dealer, who most certainly will be able to assist you further.

  • Page 40: Problems With The Blade Driver

    - If the problem is identified here, then the spark plug should be replaced or the electrical workings of the motor should be inspected. Consult your authorised ELIET dealer for more information. Low on petrol - Might you become so absorbed in your work that you fail to realise from the indicator arrow that the machine is running on empty, then it could suddenly turn off.
  • Page 41 - Take off the cover of the blade carriage (read § 11.4.2.1.). - Check whether the bearing is still intact. - Perform the repairs or install replacements as needed. Replacement parts can always be obtained at any ELIET-authorised dealer Authorised dealers may be found at: www.eliet.eu...

  • Page 42: Transporting The Machine

    Caution : A machine with running motor poses more of a risk than one with the motor switched off. Ground-type permitting, and pending sound ergonomics, ELIET recommends pushing the machine during transport. Warning : Even though the machine seems small, do not underestimate its weight.
  • Page 43 • When driving the machine over a kerb or any descending or raised edge more than 10 cm high, an intermediary step should be improvised by placing an object, preferably a rectangular bar, in front of the edge. The object should be equal to half the rise height. • The edge should be ascended going backwards, in which case the swivel caster should always be tilted from the ground. • Descents should always be approached going forwards. This gives you better control over the machine, and it eliminates the possibility that the blade carriage’s drive belt will bump against the ground.

  • Page 44: Maintenance

    11. Maintenance 11.1 General ELIET recommends that the machine should be brought to an official ELIET dealer for a major overhaul each year. (Find an authorized ELIET dealer near you by visiting www.eliet.eu) Your ELIET dealer is always at your service for maintenance and advice. Your dealer will stock genuine ELIET service parts and lubricants.

  • Page 45: Maintenance Schedules

    Caution : Always ensure that the motor is switched off before performing maintenance work. Caution : When performing maintenance, always wear gloves, and also safety glasses for some operations. These are supplied as standard with the machine. When performing an inspection or doing maintenance, the machine should only be tilted forwards (also see §11.4.2.2.).

  • Page 46: Cleaning The Machine

    Wear the appropriate protective clothing and personal safety gear. The Edge Styler STD/PRO is susceptible to gathering dirt and rubbish. This increases the amount of wear and tear. A proper maintenance schedule keeps wear and tear on the parts reduced to a minimum and ensures safer operation.

  • Page 47: Cleaning The Machine

    • Dust seal bellows on the blade guide If any problems are found, first conduct the necessary replacements and/or repairs. For this, fol- low the procedures described in this manual or visit your nearest authorised ELIET dealer. (find an autorized ELIET dealer near you by visiting www.eliet.eu)
  • Page 48 Cleaning the machine means more than just cleaning the outside. Open all protections so that you can also clean the concealed areas. Special attention must be paid tot he following items: • The cooling air intake of the motor must be spotless at all times. Ensure that none of the air intakes are obwtructed. Vacuum clean particles, if required, that can be found behind the intakes.

  • Page 49: Maintenance Procedures

    Warning: Stickers used to indicate safety messages that are no longer legible, must be im- mediately replaced. Obtain these original stickers from your ELIET dealer. (Part numers can be found in section § 7.1 ) Caution : Protective covers are on the machine so as to shield you from underlying dan- ger.
  • Page 50 • Clean off the area around the cap of the fuel tank and remove it. • Take note that a fuel filter can be inserted into the opening of the tank. Refrain from pouring too quickly, so that the petrol has sufficient time to penetrate the filter without overflowing. • If there is no tank sieve present, then select a hopper with a filter that can be used to keep unwanted rubbish from getting into the tank. • Do not fill the tank completely. STD: only the rectangular tank, not the cylinder-shaped tube. PRO: just up to the metal ring, which is visible at the opening of the tank.
  • Page 51 • Checking the air filter on the Edge Styler PRO. - The Edge Styler PRO contains both a paper filter as well as a sponge filter. - Loosen the black cap (read § 6.2.) on the filter. - Also loosen the filter cartridge and pull it out of the motor.
  • Page 52 Checking the oil level Lack of oil can cause considerable and irreparable damage to the motor. Oil that is contaminated and not replaced in a timely fashion can increase wear and tear on the motor. Regular check-ups will extend the life of the motor. Always follow the instructions provided in the motor manual. Warning : The machines are designed for use on sloped planes.

  • Page 55 Tightening the belts The Edge Styler is equipped with two belts. Both belts can become overstretched and show signs of wear and tear after multiple uses. Even breakage can occur. If a belt becomes broken, it should be replaced at an ELIET authorised dealer.
  • Page 56 Check for excessive looseness The jabbing motions made by the Edge Styler makes the machine susceptible to jolting and jar- ring. After several hours of operation, this could cause increased wear and tear on a number of moving or rotating parts.
  • Page 57 If any looseness is detected, go to your nearest, ELIET authorised dealer to replace any bearings or perform any necessary repairs. • Checking for looseness at the eccentric bearing.
  • Page 58 If you notice any damage to the bellows, they should be replaced. If any excessive looseness is found, then see your nearest authorised ELIET dealer to have the guider’s axle bearings replaced. • Checking for looseness or warping of the foot pedal.
  • Page 59 If this is the case, then consult an ELIET authorised dealer for carrying out the necessary repairs. Caution : After having completed any checks, always remember to place the covers back on to where they were originally mounted.
  • Page 60 • Regular stops should be made during work sessions to ensure that the tightening bolt is still properly screwed on. This bolt was made so that it can be tightened without the use of any tools. • Disassemble the blade (read § 11.4.2.5.). It is important to check whether the two pins are not worn down. The blade should also be checked to ensure that the holes at the end of the blade did not become oval.
  • Page 61 This will ensure for very short grinding times and you will always have the best possible cutting edge (ELIET re- commends the following: Every 10 working hours) • Avoid grinding at the same location for a longer period of time.

  • Page 62: General Lubrication Treatment

    11.5. General lubrication treatment ELIET is committed to using high-quality materials so as to keep the machines durable in what sometimes can be rather extreme working conditions. For this reason, special lubricants have always been used, even from the moment the machine comes from the factory. ELIET also recommends lubricating all the parts on a regular basis.

  • Page 63: Thorough Lubrication Using The Lubricating Nipples Provided

    Novatio PFT is suggested. • Always wipe away any excess lubricant. 11.3.4. Lubricating the bearings Most of the Edge Styler STD/PRO’s bearings are closed bearings and, thus, difficult to lubricate. Bearings that are still easy to lubricate are the following: • Bearing on the swivel caster.
  • Page 64 Caution: Always clean off the machine before lubricating treatments. Lubricating a dirty machine will force rubbish into the bearings and will increase the amount of wear and tear. • Where necessary, remove the protective coverings (read § 11.4.2.1.). • Clean off the bearings requiring lubrication. • Spray a bit of MoS2-based penetrating oil on the axis of the bearing. • Wait briefly. • Spray once again. • Let the bearing rotate for a moment. If the bearing can do this on its own when the motor is running, then do it as long as you are alert for safety.

  • Page 65: Winterizing The Machine

    • Remove the sparking plug (see § 11.4.1.5.: Checking the sparking plug). • Spray a little amount of MoS2-based penetrating oil into the cylinder. • Slowly pull the starter cord until the engine is about to crank to allow the oil to cling to the internas surfaces of the cylinder. Refit the sparking plug finger-tight. • Touch up all unpainted areas or wipe the entire machine with an oiled rag to protect all metal surfaces. • Touch-up paints/lacquers are available from your ELIET dealer. • Store the machine in a cool, dry and protected location. If necessarey, place a protective cove- ring (sailcloth, for example) over the machine. • Avoid rain/water from splashing on the machine. • At ELIET, we recommend to store the Edge Styler in a ventilated, dry and protected location. • Never store the machine in a place where it could be exposed to an open flame.

  • Page 66: Extra Equipment

    13. Extra equipment Edge Styler STD: As an extra, the styler can come with an anti-deviation disc, which aids in the operation of the machine. This disc is best installed by the dealer, as you would mainly need to take off the entire wheelbase.
