  • Page 27: Structure Of The Handlebars

    8.1.1. Structure of the handlebars: Disassemble the two hinge axles on each side of the steering bracket. To do this, comple- tely remove the star knob for the height adjustment. Spray some lubricant (PFTE-based) on the inside of the steering bracket along the length of the slot opening.
  • Page 28 4. Now push the right steering tube to the left. Due to its elasticity, it bends inwards in such a way that it can also be placed in the cavity of the right-hand steering bracket. 5. Also with this second tube, place the compression springs and inserts on the seat around the right-hand steering tube.
  • Page 29 8. Place the nylon washer, metal washer and bolt with the star knob which were disassem- bled in step 1 and screw them clockwise into the pivot axis to attach the handlebars to the steering bracket. 9. Now unscrew the rubber pads at the top of each steering bracket so that a gap of 5 mm (0.2") is created between the steering bracket and the base of the pad.

  • Page 30: Mounting Of The Rear Cover

    8.1.2. Mounting of the rear cover: Unscrew the bolts from the back cover. 2. Position the rear cover at the rear of the machine and reassemble it by tightening the bolts.

    Operating instructions 9.1. Preliminary checks Please note: Before starting the work, it is recommended to get into the habit of checking the following points: Checklist • Check the total number of hours the machine has operated and compare this to the maintenan- ce table.

  • Page 34: Characteristics Of The Work Area

    (read § 9.3; page 34) 9.3. Preparation of the work area Overseeding is a rapid and economical way of rejuvenating your lawn. The DZC450 is a precision overseeder that can promote optimum growth circumstances for the seed under a minimum loss of seed.
  • Page 35 a. Structurally prepare the terrain • As indicated in '§ 9.2. Characteristics of the work area on page 34', the terrain must be free of foreign objects. If this is not the case, then all objects that might otherwise hinder smooth operation must be removed (stones, branches, rope, steel wire, electrical lines, water hoses, parasol base, pickets, lawn furniture, etc.) •...
  • Page 36 If it is observed that, per m , the lawn is... more than half taken up by moss or weeds: Clear the lawn and remove all other parasites: • Spray the lawn two weeks in advance with an anti-moss product or herbicide against broad- leaved weeds.
  • Page 37 Important information: a good result can only be expected from an overseeding treatment if the following conditions are met: water and heat. Carefully work out the period to overseed. Choose a period where the average day & night temperature is above 10°C - 50°F. Choose a period with sufficient rainfall. Make sure that the soil has absorbed enough moisture and that a period with sufficient rain follows the oversee- ding treatment.

  • Page 38: Preparing The Machine

    Please note: seek advice regarding the dosage of the fertiliser. Too much fertili- ser can "burn" the new plants and render the overseeding treatment pointless. • Once the grass plants have started to grow, it is important that their roots develop well in order to suck up water at great depth during scarcity.
  • Page 39 • Using the lever on the bottom left-hand side (depth lever) of the handlebars, the machine can be unlocked from its trans- port mode. Before squeezing this depth lever, push the hand- lebar slightly downwards. Once the bar has been loosened, the handlebars must be released in a controlled manner so that the blades can be routed into the ground to reach work depth.
  • Page 40 b. Setting the work depth To maximize the growing chances of the sown grass seeds, they should be covered by a thin layer of soil. In principle, this equates to a sowing depth of +/- 3 to 5 mm (0.1" to 0.2"). To do this, the cutting depth of the machine should be set to a slightly deeper level.
  • Page 41 • Measure the depth of the grooves at various places and compare it with the recommended 8 to 10 mm (0.3” to 0.4”) work depth. • Depending on the deviation, the adjustment disc needs to be twisted. To be able to rotate the disc, pull out the locking button.
  • Page 42 In principle, any grass seed can be used. ELIET recommends seed mixtures developed especially for overseeding or renovation. The setting of the seed flow rate depends on the...
  • Page 43 Recommended dosing: • For pro-active overseeding of a healthy lawn with normal vegetation: 20 gr/m - 0,7 OZ/10sq.ft. • For restoring a lawn after drought or de-mossing: 25 gr/m - 0,88 OZ/10sq.ft. • For bare patches without vegetation: 30 gr/m - 1,06 OZ/10sq.ft.
  • Page 44 Setting the guide value: • Turn the star knob of the flow setting in an anti-clockwise direction until there is no more tension on the knob. • Now gradually press the yellow seed lever on the handlebars. At the same time, look at the indication on the dial.
  • Page 45 • Remove the seed collector gutter from underneath the machine (do this carefully so that no seed falls out of the tray). • Pour the seed from this first test drive into the seed reservoir. (This operation is not repre- sentative because it was necessary to fill the seed distribution system with seed.

  • Page 46: Refuelling

    • Clean off the area around the cap of the fuel tank and remove it. Do not fill the tank completely. Fill up to approximately 1 cm (1/2”) from the brim. In other words, never fill it to the brim. • Always use a funnel or a spout for refuelling. Special funnels are available from your ELIET dealer.

  • Page 47: Starting And Stopping The Engine

    9.5. Starting and stopping the engine Please note: Never start the machine when dust has settled on the engine or between its cooling fins. This reduces proper cooling of the engine and can cause a fire. For your information: the procedure to start the engine can vary per brand. Please check your engine manual.
  • Page 48 Starting the engine Please note: For optimum protection of your hearing it is recommended to put on hearing protection prior to starting the engine. • If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve, open it. • Depending on the type of engine, move the lever or turn the start switch into the ON position. •...

  • Page 49: Working With The Machine

    Please note: before driving the machine, first plot a course, in order to avoid any danger zones and obstacles. • The DZC450 is equiped with a rubber traction roller at the rear. This traction roller can be driven to allow the machine to drive autonomously. The drive only works in a forward direc- tion.

  • Page 50: Turning

    For your information: Machine breakage or defects resulting from incompetent operation are excluded from the warranty conditions. • The DZC450 has only limited ground clearance. Avoid driving the machine across unstable, soggy or bumpy surfaces. As a result, the seed distribution system and especially the seed funnels can collide with the ground, contaminating or clogging the spreading areas.

  • Page 51: Planning And Determining The Track And The Work Pattern

    Proceed as follows: • Release the yellow seed lever to close the seed distribution system in order to avoid wasting grass seed in the turning zone. • Push the handlebars downwards so that the blades are lifted. Make sure that the front wheels are 2 cm (7/8”) off the ground and that the machine only rests on the traction roller.

  • Page 52: Overseeding

    9.6.3. Overseeding Please note: The operator must comply with clothing instructions and wear the required personal protection. (read § 7.3.4; page 21) Please note: If you plan to overseed, keep bystanders at a safe distance (10 m - 30ft). • Proper gardening starts with studying the work area, removing any obstacles and determining a work pattern and a route.
  • Page 53 • Always place the machine to move in a straight line relative to the intended lane; it avoids having to immediately turn and adjust course to get back on track. • Always apply full throttle (3,500 RPM). • Push the handlebars downwards so that the front wheels briefly come off the ground. •...
  • Page 54 • Avoid making sudden steering jolts during the overseeding. Bear in mind that the blades are at a work depth of 1 cm (1/2”) and will cut away a zone from the lawn in a lateral movement. • In order to have a nice even overseeding result, it is important to avoid overlapping or sowing areas twice.

  • Page 55: After Overseeding

    • If you notice that the engine has difficulty keeping up its RPMs in a particular area, for example because the machine is sinking a little deeper into the ground or the top layer is a hard dry crust, you can push the handlebar down slightly in this area so that the blades are lifted slightly and the load on the engine is reduced.

  • Page 56: Emptying The Seed Distribution System

    • The renovated lawn must be mowed for the first time when the new grass has reached a height of 5 cm (2”). • As described in '§ d. Treatment after overseeding to enhance germination and growth on page 37' you can still top-dress and fertilize to further boost the results of the overseeding treatment.

  • Page 57: Cleaning The Machine

    (goggles and gloves) ELIET recommends cleaning the machine after each use. We recommend performing an inspec- tion each time you clean the machine to check component and machine integrity. This allows timely intervention and prevention of any defects.
  • Page 58 Using the Easy Clean maintenance support: The special Easy Clean maintenance support was supplied with the machine, for easy access to the underside of the machine for cleaning. How to use it: • Switch off the engine. • Place the machine on a flat surface. •...

  • Page 59: Fault Diagnosis

    The following points require special attention: • Always remove the seed from the seed reservoir after use. (read § 9.6.5; page 56) • The cooling fins and exhaust of the engine must be clean. Remove any accumulation of soil, seed or plant debris. The area around the fuel cap must be kept clean to avoid dirt entering the fuel tank.

  • Page 60: Engine Shuts Off Whilst In Use

    Other reason If the previous points do not identify the source of the problem, contact your authorised ELIET dealer. 9.8.2. Engine shuts off whilst in use If the engine suddenly shuts off during operation, this could be the result of a number of factors: a.
  • Page 61 A defect in the engine or a problem with the carburettor or ignition could be the issue. For assistance with these problems, please visit your authorised ELIET dealer or an authorised service center for the engine brand.

  • Page 62: Loss Of Grass Seed During Transport

    9.8.3. Loss of grass 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. The seed flow slider does not close properly b.
  • Page 63 a. Empty seed reservoir: During overseeding, you may forget about the seed level. As the seed reservoir is almost empty, the auger will not carry enough seed through the distribution channel, causing the seed pattern to become irregular and the spreading will eventually stop. Refill the seed re- servoir with seed.

  • Page 64: A Trail Of Damage To The Lawn

    9.8.5. A trail of damage to the lawn Whilst overseeding, you may notice a trail of damage in a worked strip. Possible causes may be: • Since the blades do the ground work, examine these first. Presumably, one or more blades has struck an object in the ground, causing it to become bent and carve out wide, unsightly grooves.
  • Page 65 Defective transmission box: If, when the traction is activated correctly, the output axle of the transmission box does not rotate, there is probably a defect in the transmission box. Visit your approved ELIET Service Center to check and repair this.

  • Page 72: Cleaning The Air Filter

    11.4.3. Cleaning the air filter The purpose of the air filter is to clear the air that is sucked in for combustion, and to protect against sand and dust particles. There are two important issues in this respect: • The filter may not become damaged; a damaged filter could expose the engine to unfiltered air. •...

  • Page 73: Checking The Blades

    • After each session, the blades must be subjected to a quick inspection. • To see the blade axle clearly, the DZC450 should be positioned on the Easy Clean maintenan- ce support.

  • Page 74: Maintenance After Every 25 Hours Of Operation

    • If you notice any damage to one of the blade holders, they must be replaced before the ma- chine is used again. Consult your authorised ELIET Service center for more information. • If you notice that the blade holders are loose on the axle and that there is lateral movement between the blade holders and bushings, stop using the machine, to prevent consequential damage.
  • Page 75 Hinges Hinges are places where two moving parts are attached to each other. Because this is a tur- ning point, it involves friction. Friction without lubrication leads to wear, excessive play and finally to breakage. The points with dry lubrication are: Hinge of the belt tensioners 2.
  • Page 76 • Apply new lubricant to the friction areas. Ensure that it covers the entire contact surface. • ELIET recommends NOVATIO CLEARLUBE, This is a lubricant with an extremely long opera- ting time, excellent adhesion and resistance to high pressure. It is available in spray cans for easy application.
  • Page 78 To reach the points indicated, some protective covers must be removed. (read § 15.1; page The bearings have dust seals to keep the dirt out. However, the lubricant applied on the bea- ring at the factory will also become old and dry. To compensate for this, new lubricant must be added from outside.
  • Page 79 The chain grease applied will have worn away after a certain time, or dirt and dust will be stuck to it. Regular lubrication is needed to prevent wear and tear on the chain transmission. The DZC450 includes one Simplex chain for the transmission for the roller wheels to the seed distribution system.
  • Page 80 • Remove any lubricant that has gotten onto the pulley parts before the seed distribution sy- stem is switched on. Thoroughly degrease the pulley parts and belt with KLEENSPRAY. There must be no slippage here, otherwise the seed will not be sown correctly. •...
  • Page 81 IV. Friction surfaces Friction surfaces include all machine parts that are subject to wear from lateral friction with other parts. Here, too, it is important to apply a film of lubricant between the rubbing parts that will reduce movement resistance and minimise wear. These surfaces in the machine include: Cable guides 2.
  • Page 82 • Lubricant that flows back from the joints or along the grease nipple when removing the pump hose, must be wiped away with a rag. • Replace the protective covers as they were originally fitted. All lubricants indicated are available from your authorised ELIET dealer.

  • Page 83: Changing The Oil

    • Always turn off the engine before replacing the oil. • Choose the drain plug on the left of the engine base. • Put the DZC450 into the Easy Clean to change the oil. • Clean the area around the oil filler cap on the other side of the engine and unscrew the cap, allowing the crankcase to vent while emptying the tank.

  • Page 84: Checking And Adjusting The Belt Tension

    11.5.3. Checking and adjusting the belt tension The DZC450 contains four belt drives: Belt drive of the engine crankshaft to the transmission box. 2. Belt drive from the engine crankshaft to the blades (x2) 3. Belt drive from rotor to ejector accelerator 4.
  • Page 85 The following describes the procedure for tightening the belts. belt drive (engine - transmission box) This is the primary belt drive which transfers the engine power directly to the gearbox. Since the transmission box makes a large internal reduction, the power needed to drive it is rather limited.
  • Page 86 II. 2 belt drive (blade drive) The two drive belts are tightened with a flat tension roller which is pressed against the back of the belt when the blade handle is engaged. This belt drive transmits power from the en- gine to the blades and, thus, also carries the heaviest load.
  • Page 87 • The holder of the belt pulley is equipped with an adjuster to adjust the belt tension. • To do this, loosen the fixing nut M8 one turn (turn counter-clockwise) (socket wrench 13 mm) • Then manually press the belt pulley as much as possible against the belt and tighten the fixing nut firmly again.

  • Page 88: Maintenance After Every 100 Hours Of Operation

    11.6. Maintenance after every 100 hours of operation 11.6.1. Replacing the blades The blades of the DZC450 are individually bolted onto the blade disks. Each blade can be repla- ced individually. Please note: Replacing blades must always be done with the engine switched off.
  • Page 89 2. The blade can be mounted on "drag". In this case, the blade tip is turned away from the direction of rotation of the blade axle. • Blades mounted on "drag" will only be able to create a groove by displacing and compacting the dirt. Blades that are on "drag" cut a smooth groove but find it more difficult to form a deep groove, especially if the ground is slightly more firm.

  • Page 90: Replacing The Air Filter

    • New blades can always be ordered from your authorised ELIET dealer with order code BU 402 300 145. • When assembling the new blades, the attachment bolts and nuts must always be replaced. Please note: When installing the bolts, make sure that the nuts are fitted on the same side as the belt pulley for the drive.
