    Operating instructions Preliminary checks Caution: Before starting the work, you are advised to get into the habit of checking the following points: Checklist A. Perform a visual inspection of the condition of the machine. B. Check that the fuel tank is full. If not, fill it up (Read § 9.3.1 Refuelling) C. Check whether the hydrostatic oil tank is full. If not, replenish the oil (Read, if necessary § 9.3.2 Replenishing hydrostatic oil). D.

  • Page 23: Work Site

    Consequently, the following points should be observed: • Never add petrol whilst the engine is running. Always allow the engine to cool off for several minutes prior to fuelling. • Only use fresh petrol. ELIET is environmentally conscious and, therefore, recommends using unleaded petrol with an octane of 98 or 99. To preserve fuel freshness for longer periods of time, additives may be used.

  • Page 24: Replenishing Hydrostatic Oil

    9.3.2 Replenishing hydrostatic oil Only use suitable hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 46cSt (according to DIN 51524-3 HVLP.VB) for replenishing the hydrostatic reservoir. Eliet advises using SUNOCO Sunvis 846 WR HV. • Never replenish oil if the engine is running. Always allow the engine to cool off for several minutes prior to replenishing oil. • Store the oil in an approved tank. Keep out of reach of children.

  • Page 25: Starting The Petrol Engine

    Starting the petrol engine • Open the fuel tap by turning the lever to the “I” position • Set the engine’s ON/OFF switch to ON • Set the gas lever to full. • Pull the choke out and turn the starter key to START position. • Press the choke half in. Depending on the weather conditions, you can then push the choke back fully. Note: You can also start the petrol engine using the starter handle on the left hand side of the machine.

  • Page 26: Turning The Engine Off

    Warnings: • Under no circumstances should you ever allow the engine to run for an extended period (i.e. more 30 seconds) in a closed space. The exhaust fumes contain toxins that may cause poisoning or suffocation. • Before starting the engine, check that ventilation grilles are not blocked by any foreign objects. • If the engine does not start immediately, wait for a short while (> 5sec) be- fore trying again. If you do not do so, you may well damage the engine. • Repeated, unsuccessful attempts to start the engine may point to a wet spark plug.

  • Page 27: Working With The Machine

    9.6 Working with the machine 9.6.1 Prior to starting work Warning: Never run the engine in a closed environment for over 30 seconds. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust if you do so. If the machine is stored inside, doors and windows will be opened for maximum ventilation before starting the engine to move the machine.
  • Page 28 How is the drive engaged? The hydrostatic drive uses a belt transmission. The belt must be engaged in order to activate the hydrostat and provide power to the tracks. The belt drive can be engaged by pressing the dead man’s handle. Caution: In order to avoid the machine moving unexpectedly when depressing the dead man’s handle, check that the AIO control handle is in the neutral position and not...
  • Page 29 sideways, the left hand track will begin to turn backwards and the machine will turn on its axis. This is called a “zero-turn” turning circle. 4. The same applies if the AIO Joystick is turned towards the right but then in reverse direc- tions.
  • Page 30 Caution: If a situation occurs in which the operator seems to be losing control of the machine, the dead man’s handle should immediately be released. The drive on the hydrostat will immediately halt and the machine will thus stop. For your information: • Depending on the selected speed, there is still proportional regulation within this setting using the Joystick.

  • Page 31: Operating Snow Cutter Head

    9.6.3 Operating snow cutter head The Snowbob’s cutter head has an operational width of 80 cm and a clearance height of 56 cm. In cooperation with Parker, an electro-hydraulic suction device has been developed, allowing the cutter head to be tilted at angles from -30mm to +200 mm. Moving the cutter head from its nethermost to its uppermost position takes less than 5 seconds.
  • Page 32 Starting the cutter The moveable cutter head is powered by a joint transmission. The cutter is started by pressing the black lever on the right hand side of the handlebar. When operating the dead man’s handle, the black lever will remain in position.

  • Page 34: Fault Diagnosis

    Electro-hydraulic suction: Fault diagnosis 9.7.1 The engine fails to start after idle periods. If the machine fails to start up after periods of inactivity, then this could be the result of any of the following causes: Low on petrol Petrol is stale Bad sparkplug Low on oil Caution:...

  • Page 35: Engine Switches Off During Operation

    b. Petrol is stale Petrol has a limited shelf life. Petrol that has been sitting in petrol tank for more than a few months can cause starter problems. It also smells totally different than fresh petrol. Pump out the contents of the fuel tank and refuel with fresh petrol. (Read §9.3.1) (CAU- TION: even stale petrol can still be incredibly flammable. c.

  • Page 36: Engine Loses Power

    Note: Neither ELIET, nor Subaru shall accept warranty claims based on a lack of oil in the machine. If slopes are a recurring factor in a particular area, adding 0.2 litres of extra oil to the tank will resolve the problem.
  • Page 37 Ineffective combustion Condensation in fuel tank Run through the above points one by one until you discover the cause of the reduced perfor- mance. a. Turbine and cutter The engine output is used to power the hydrostat that provides the drive movement and also to power the turbine and the cutter.

  • Page 38: Blow Chute Is Stuck (No Longer Rotates)

    This means that the supply of fuel to the engine is excessive and leads to incomplete combustion. This is checked during regular visits to an affiliated ELIET dealer or servicing point for the brand of engine. Request that the following tasks are carried out during every service: • Carburettor revision...

  • Page 39: Turbine/Cutter Is Stuck Or Loses Power

    There are a number of possible causes: a. Blow chute is frozen to the spot The most likely cause is that the blow chute is frozen in place. Resolve this as follows: • Stop the machine. • Move the blow chute manually backwards and forwards so that the ice breaks up. • Apply anti-freeze and lubricant around the turning area of the blow chute. b. Empty battery c.

  • Page 40: Moving A Machine With A Defective Engine

    9.7.6 Moving a machine with a defective engine The fact that the hydraulic drive pump is powered by the petrol engine means that all hydraulic functions cease to work if the engine is defective. The wheel drive is also hydrau- lic.

  • Page 41: Transporting The Machine

    Transporting the machine • Only adults are permitted to move or transport the machine. • During transport children, unauthorised people or animals must not be allowed within a 5 m radius of the machine. • Never use the machine for transporting goods or people. • Carefully choose a clear and free transport path, preferably one with as few obstructions as possible. • Ensure that the cutter head is in its highest position. • Lower the engine’s RPM for better control of the wheel drive during loading and offload- ing. This will also reduce the effect of steering errors or loss of grip. • The transport route is preferably flat, with an even surface. • Never drive or place the machine on any floor or land surface that cannot support the weight of the machine plus one’s own body weight.
  • Page 42 • Work carefully and considerately when loading and unloading the snow clearer in order to avoid it tipping over (350kg) and to prevent an incident turning into an accident. • When you are going downhill, you must walk backwards with the machine in front of you. For your information: the weight of the machine means that it could suddenly begin to move faster when going downhill. If this occurs, ensure there is a sufficient run-off area behind the loading plates (10 m).

  • Page 49: Maintenance Procedures

    11.4 Maintenance procedures 11.4.1 Engine maintenance 11.4.1.1 Checking level and refilling engine oil If the oil level in the engine drops below a certain level, the electronics in the machine will go into safe-mode and the engine will switch off. By then, the machine will have been working with a lack of lubrication for some time.
  • Page 50 11.4.1.2 Changing the engine oil • In order to drain the oil, place the machine on flat ground so that the engine plate is horizontal.. • As a precaution, remove the key from the ignition. • Open the 3 protective covers around the engine. • 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. • Unfold the drainage hose and position a receptacle with a 2l capacity under the end of the hose. • You can unscrew the cap of the hose with 18 and 22 spanners; the dirty oil will then run out of the engine. Once all of the oil has run out of the machine, secure the cap of the drainage hose once again.
  • Page 51 11.4.1.3 Checking and/or changing the spark plug The type of snow clearer is equipped with a two-cylinder engine. This means that it has two sparkplugs. These are screwed into the cylinder head. The sparkplug is a crucial component which plays a significant role in determining combus tion efficiency.

  • Page 52: Maintenance On The Hydrostatic Pump

    11.4.2 Maintenance on the hydrostatic pump 11.4.2.1 Changing hydrostatic oil and oil filter Even though the hydraulic circuit is closed, the hydraulic oil will get dirty. This dirt is continuously filtered via a hydraulic filter. When this filter becomes dirty, the oil flow will reduce and cavities may occur.

  • Page 53: Machine Maintenance

    • Check whether the machine operates at the proper rotational speed at full throttle (3,200 RPM) • Try not to change the standard settings for the engine. • 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 or maintenance first. Consult your authorised ELIET service centre for assistance if necessary or to obtain re- placement parts. Find an ELIET service centre nearest you at www.eliet.eu.
  • Page 54 11.4.3.2 General lubrication treatment ELIET is committed to using high-quality materials that extend a machine’s life cycle despite the sometimes extreme work circumstances in which snow clearers are used. For this reason, special lubrication products have already been applied in the factory. ELIET also recom- mends lubricating all parts on a regular basis: •...
  • Page 55 Caution: Be careful when spraying new grease into the ball bearings. The pressure that is built up with the spray could tear cap seals. Lubricating bearings 1. Bearings Cutter (2x) 2. Bearings pulley caterpillar tracks (2x) 3. Reciprocating roller bearings (4x) 4.
  • Page 56 Lubricating hinges This group encompasses the following points on the machine: 1. Hinges (ball joints and hinges) handlebars 2. Hinges for cutter head height regulators 3. Hinges protection cover 4. Hinges directional vales 5. Hinges tension rollers belt transmission Follow this procedure: • Where possible, disassemble the hinge or joint.
  • Page 57 • Since both the chain inside and the contact surface with the gears need to be lubricated, ELIET recommends using a combination of two lubricants. • NOVATIO PTFE OIL is very viscous and will easily penetrate the chain links. • NOVATIO CLEARLUBE, a more viscous oil, will cling to the outside of the chain. This lubri- cant diminishes the friction between the chain and the gears.
  • Page 58 • Repeat this procedure until the guides are completely clean. • New lubricant may now be sprayed into the guide. ELIET recommends NOVATIO PTFE OIL. All lubricants indicated are available from your authorised ELIET dealer. In addition to the cable guides, the following parts also need regular lubrication: 4. Gearwheel transmission rotating blow chute 5. Piston rod – actuator directional valves 6.
  • Page 59 11.4.3.3 Adjusting cable guides • Turn the engine off and take the key out of the ignition. • Tilt the machine’s protective cover upwards and remove the side covers • Check that all levers are set to neutral. • Remove the M8 lock nut (13 mm spanner) and rotate the control guide counter-clockwise a few times (=tension cable guide) or clockwise (=loosen cable guide). Use a (11 mm) spanner if necessary. • Once set, tighten the lock nuts so that this cannot become dislocated as a result of vibra- tion. 11.4.3.4 Belt tension check and adjustment The machine incorporates 3 green belts for the cutter drive and 1 black belt for the hydrostatic drive.
  • Page 60 Cutter drive belt tension These three belts are tightened with a flat tensioning roller that is pulled against the back of the belt when pressing down the cutter operation lever. • If the belt starts to make a squeaking sound or if the resistance on the operation lever is too low, then this is a sign that the belt tensioning roller needs to be adjusted.
  • Page 61 Belt tension of hydrostatic drive (black belt) • If the belt starts to make a squeaking sound or if the resistance on the operation lever is too low, then this is a sign that the belt tensioning roller needs to be adjusted. • The back plate of the machine must be removed in order to access the hydrostat’s speed control belts. These 10 bolts can be loosened with an Allen key number 4. • The required belt tension is obtained when, if the corresponding operation lever is held at a distance of around 20mm from its maximum position, the tensioning roller already presses against the belts and begins to pull on the spring.
  • Page 62 Belt catchers M8 bolt Hydrostat speed control belt tension • To change this belt, the 3 belts must first be taken off the cutter drive (see above). • Then loosen both belt catchers by unscrewing the M8 bolt (spanner size 13) so that the belt holder can be tilted aside • Replace the belts with belts of a similar type and length. • The pump should not turn if the lever is in its idling position (not powered). For more information about adjusting, you are referred to § 11.4.3.4 • After putting the belts back on, the belt catcher needs to be replaced so as to prevent the belts from coming off when decoupling. They should be put on such that there is about 5mm remaining between the pulley and belt catcher.
  • Page 63 11.4.3.6 Setting cutter plate • Place the machine on an even, paved surface (e.g. concrete or asphalt, etc.). • Turn off the engine. • Partially loosen the 2 skid shoes by undoing the 2 M8 bolts per shoe. • The 7 M8 bolts on the blade under the cutter head must then also be undone (not fully). • Turn the ignition on without starting the engine. This enables the position of the cutter head to be controlled. • Lower the cutter head until a space of 5mm has been reached on both sides between the frame of the cutter head and the ground. • Lock this position by pushing both skid shoes onto the ground and then securing with the M8 bolts. • The blade is then positioned so that there is a margin of 2mm; the blade is then secured with the M8 bolts. For your information: It may be handy to secure the outer bolts first and then set the cutter head to its highest position before securing the other bolts.
  • Page 64 11.4.3.7 Adjusting caterpillar track tension • Place the machine on an even, paved surface (e.g. concrete or asphalt, etc.). • Turn the engine off and take the key out of the ignition. • First, partially loosen the 2 M10 locking bolts (spanner size 17). • Then loosen the M10 lock nut (spanner size 17). • The front guide wheel can now be moved forwards by turning the M10 control bolt (span- ner 17). This will tension the caterpillar track. • Caution: you must always be able to depress the centre of the track (between guide wheel and drive wheel) by x cm. If not, make the appropriate adjustments. • Once the caterpillar track tension is set correctly, tighten the lock nut and the 2 locking bolts. • Repeat this process for the other M10 locking bolt (slm17)
  • Page 65 How to set it up: • Loosen the 2 bolts on the brake blocks and slide these against the blade. • Ensure that both brake blocks press against the blade with equal pressure and then re- tighten. • Check to make sure that the joystick is in a vertical position when releasing the joystick. If this is not the case, the machine will deviate from its line when working. Brake blocks...
  • Page 66 11.4.3.9 Replacing brake blocks - hydraulic disc brakes Brake blocks are subject to wear and tear. It is, therefore, important that you regularly check the thickness of the brake blocks. • As with every other aspect of maintenance, you must turn the engine off and remove the key from the ignition.
  • Page 67 For your information: When checking the chain tension, also check the chain and the sprocket for extensive wear. If the teeth are worn the sprockets and chain must be replaced. Visit your authorised ELIET dealer for assistance.
  • Page 68 For your information:: Use this maintenance moment to lubricate the chain (read § 11.4.2.3). Caution: As with every other aspect of maintenance, you must turn the engine off and remove the key from the ignition. Caution: Always wear suitable clothing for performing this type of maintenance. • The chain is subject to loss of elasticity after time and it will start to hang loose, with a risk of jumping off the gear under heavy strain. If you notice that the chain is loose when performing lubrication maintenance, then it will require tightening.
  • Page 69 11.4.3.11 Replacing chains The chain is equipped with a chain joint that makes the chain easy to dismantle. Dismantling Follow this procedure: • Remove the spring clip (C). • The chain can now be taken apart by removing the side plate with pin (A) and the side plate (B).
