  • Page 19: Ergonomics

    • This machine must only be operated by persons who are well-rested and in a good physical condition. Take a rest if you become tired whilst operating the machine. • Do not operate the machine after alcohol or hallucinogenic drug use. • The user is also advised to be thoroughly familiar with the site itself. This enables the user to gain a greater insight into possible obstacles that may present themselves and he can then plan his route around them. • The user must draw up a list that registers the number of hours worked. This will ensure that the repetitive maintenance schedule can be followed correctly in relation to the ma- chine.

  • Page 20: Personal Protective Equipment (Ppe)

    • For protection of the most sensitive senses, ELIET recommends hearing protection and protective goggles. • Pay particular attention and be careful when using hearing protection as they can impair the ability to hear warning sounds (such as yelling, signal tones, etc.). ELIET thus advises against using hearing protection with built-in music devices or the use of a “Walkman” or portable MP3- player while working.

  • Page 21: Danger Zone

    • Draw up a maintenance register in which you keep the performed maintenance updated in detail. • If parts must be replaced as a result of wear or failure, you must always turn to your authorised ELIET dealer for original replacement parts. This is of key importance for your own safety. (Find an authorised ELIET dealer near you on www.eliet.eu). • For a list of original spare parts and their ordering codes please visit www.eliet.eu. • Repairs, maintenance and cleaning work may only be conducted when the engine is not running, the starter key is in the OFF position and has been removed from the ignition.

  • Page 22: In Harmony With Nature

    7.3.8 In harmony with nature Use the machine in a manner that respects environmental regulations: a) Avoid running the machine without actively using it. b) Avoid spilling petrol while refuelling. c) Oil leaks in the engine or transmission should be repaired immediately. d) Service the engine regularly for optimum combustion.

  • Page 23: Dealer's Duties

    Repeat these instructions until the new owner has fully understood everything. • ELIET machines are packaged in accordance with common rules for proper transportation. Deliveries are always ex factory. Consequently, ELIET cannot be held liable for any damage that occurs during transport. • If the packaging is damaged upon receipt of the goods, check the state of the machine to ensure it is not damaged. Report any irregularities on the delivery order before signing for receipt.

  • Page 24: Operating Instructions

    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 25: 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 sev- eral 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 26: 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 27: Starting The Petrol Engine

    Warning: Oil shortage in the hydrostatic pump inevitably causes severe damage. (This type of defect is not covered under warranty). Starting the petrol engine • 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.
  • Page 28 Transport to the work site • There are two speed settings on the snowbob. The ‘fast’ setting should be chosen when moving to and from the work site. Hold the speed lever to the left and, at the same time, depress the dead man’s handle. The speed lever will move upwards into the transport setting.

  • Page 29: Turning The Engine Off

    Turning the engine off • You are advised to put the central joystick in a central position (0 position) before switch- ing off the engine; in other words, do not leave it in the cruise-control position. You thus prevent the machine from starting to move as a result of using the dead man’s handle when starting the machine. • Release all levers. • Set the thrust lever to slow speed. • Turn the starter key to the OFF position, remove the key from the lock and close the igni- tion using the cap. • Keep the key in a safe place but outside the reach of children and any unauthorised per- sons. For your information: The machine is hard to move when the engine is switched off.

  • Page 30: Moving The Machine

    9.6.2 Moving the machine The Snowbob 9018 T is equipped with 2 caterpillar tracks. These two wide, rubber tracks are each equipped with a separate drive engine. Each hydraulic engine has an individual hydro- static pump; these are united within one hydrostat. The facility to regulate the flow of each pump separately means that the speed of the engine and the track can be set. This regula- tion is proportional so that speed is infinitely adjustable.
  • Page 31 Speed: work mode: -1.5 km/h < 0 > +1.5 km/h transport mode: -5 km/h < 0 > +5 km/h Lever The lever is automatically set to the Slow drive setting. If the Fast setting is required, the selection lever should be moved to the left before depressing the dead man’s handle. How is the machine steered? The Joystick can be pushed in any direction.
  • Page 32 Caution: Do not allow yourself to be distracted as a result of how easy the steering task is. When REVERSING (with the joystick pulled backwards), the steering works in a counter-intuitive manner. The Joystick is thus moved to the left and the machine will turn to the right.

  • Page 33: Operating Snow Cutter Head

    When, during the snow-clearing operation, one wants to go into reverse, it is recommended that the cutter head be lifted up. In order that this may be done quickly and efficiently, ELIET has placed a red push-button on the joystick which can be controlled with the index finger when moving in reverse.
  • Page 34 Note: • The movement of the cutter is limited if this function is used. Be aware of this! • The cutter head may not be released at locations with an undulating surface. This would increase the risk of damaging the cutter if it were to encounter a foreign object. • Height settings and the lateral movement of the cutter head are not possible if this func- tion is used. Starting the cutter The moveable cutter head is powered by a joint transmission. This offers the significant ad- vantage that the cutter head can quickly be taken apart for maintenance.

  • Page 35: Operating The Blow Chute

    Directional guide valves The directional valves on the variable blow chute can be controlled elec- trically with the joystick. Moreover, the actuator has been mounted by the directional valves, which eliminates the need for cables. The upper and lower operational buttons on the joystick are used to move the upper valve on the blow chute upwards and downwards, respectively.

  • Page 36: 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 37 Note: Neither ELIET, nor B&S Vanguard 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 38: Engine Loses Power

    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. That is why it is logical to first check the condi- tion of the turbine and cutter. b.

  • Page 39: Blow Chute Is Stuck (No Longer Rotates)

    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 • Ignition check • Measurement and adjustment of valve clearance Warning: Ineffective combustion in the engine gives rise to after-burning in the exhaust.

  • Page 40: Turbine/Cutter Is Stuck Or Loses Power

    9.7.5 Turbine/cutter is stuck or loses power You may find that the turbine/cutter becomes stuck as a result of ice, frozen snow or another foreign object. Release the turbine or cutter as follows: • First turn the ignition key to the STOP position and remove the key. • Use the special tool with a handle to break up chunks of ice or hard snow. • Remove foreign objects (sticks, bits of rope,…) that have become lodged around the cutter or turbine.

  • 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 47 Particularly where safety stickers have been placed. (Do not use a cleaning agent that will remove paint or stickers). Any stickers that are no longer legible must be replaced. Original stickers can be purchased from your ELIET dealer. • Use penetrating oil on MoS2 basis to remove dirty grease and lubricants. This spray is a lubricant and rust solvent at the same time.

  • Page 48: Cleaning Ventilation Grilles

    11.3.3 Cleaning ventilation grilles For safety reasons and noise considerations, the mechanical ‘heart’ of the machine is fully encased by large protective covers. The functioning of the mechanical components goes hand in hand with the production of heat (engine, hydraulics, belt,…). Cooling is therefore vital and it is important that there is a sufficient flow of cold air around the machine.

  • Page 49: Maintenance Procedures

    11.4 Maintenance procedures 11.4.1 Engine maintenance 11.4.1.1 Checking level and refilling engine oil 11.4.1.1.1 Checking level 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 • Open the filler cap and remove the dipstick so that the sump can ventilate. • Only use recommended oil. (See reference list at the back of this manual.) • Repeatedly check the oil level during replenishment to avoid over-filling. • Clean away any spilled oil once the job is completed. Caution: • Be aware that it will take a while for the oil to fully descend into the sump. Make sure you leave small intervals when filling the oil so that the dipstick gives the correct oil level reading. • Oil shortages cause severe, irreparable engine damage. (This type of defect is not covered under warranty). 11.4.1.2 Changing the engine oil • In order to drain the oil, position the Snowbob 9018 T with the left caterpillar track slightly elevated (on a pallet for example) at about 14 cm.
  • Page 51 Ask for this type of tool at a service-centre that deals with this brand of engine. • Use the original filters stipulated by the engine manufacturer (see engine manual). You can purchase these filters from your ELIET dealer or from a service-centre for the brand of engine. Stock no: B&S Vanguard 18 hp: ???? • Wipe a little fresh oil onto the sealing ring on the new filter.
  • Page 52 • Loosen the clips so that the filter can be removed from the line. Fuel-filter • Check the lines for any damage and replace if necessary. • Clean up any fuel that comes from the filter or the lines immediately. • Install the new filter taking account of the arrow on the filter. • You can obtain a new fuel filter from your Eliet dealer or from a service-centre which deals in the brand of engine. • If present, open the fuel tap or remove the clamp. • Start the engine and check for any leaks. 11.4.1.5 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.

  • Page 53: Maintenance On The Hydrostatic Pump

    • Turn the engine off and leave to cool down. Remove the key 0,8mm from the ignition. • Remove both sparkplug caps from the sparkplugs. • Clean the area around the spark plug and remove the spark plug from the cylinder head. (SW 13/16”) • Using a feeler gauge, check whether the distance between electrodes is 0.8 mm. • If necessary, bend the side electrode carefully until the correct distance has been reached. • The sparkplug must be replaced if it shows heavy deposits or is very dirty. • Sparkplugs must be replaced after 200 working hours. Caution: Replacing an old sparkplug or putting in a new one must be done with utmost caution, avoiding any possible damage to the screw thread in the cylinder.
  • Page 54 Check to ensure that the new filter has been installed correctly, according to the flow direction. • Remove the collection reservoir. • Place the machine on level ground. • Now poor xx litres of fresh hydrostatic oil into the tank. ELIET recommends high quality oil. • Manually turn the drive pulley on the hydrostatic pump. This forces the inner workings of the hydrostatic pump to become active, and all air in the pump is forced out so that it can be filled with oil.

  • Page 55: Machine Maintenance

    • 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.
