9.6.3.2 Operating the feed roller In order to simplify operating the feed roller, a clear and well-organised system has been chosen, using buttons on the front of the hopper. The left button (1) is for inserting the cut waste; the right button (2) is for carrying back the cut waste.
Page 33
• Undo the star screw (1) so that the feed hopper can be moved. The anti-projection flap can now be tilted and the leaf litter can move more easily through the feed hopper. Warning: If the anti-projection flap is opened, particular attention must be paid to the recoil of cuttings along the feed hopper.
Page 34
• Automatic overload system (ABM): To avoid the shredder unit becoming blocked and ensure that the machine can work autonomously, you have chosen an ABM system (anti-block motor). When revolutions reduce as a result of loading, and this falls below 2750 t/min, the feed roller will automatically stop supplying. When the revolutions return to above 2750 t/min, the feed roller will restart.
Page 35
• If the shredding chamber gets clogged up, switch off the machine to remove the blockage. Make sure to wait for the blades to come to a complete standstill, before carrying out any operation on the machine. For safety’s sake, disconnect the spark plug wire. •...

11.2.2 Removing the chain guard • Turn the machine off and take the key out of the ignition. • Remove the two bolts (1) (M10 slw 17). • Remove the guard. 11.2.3 Disconnecting the battery • Disconnect the negative terminal (1) (black M6 slw 10).
Warning: when switching off the petrol engine or disengaging the coupling, it may take up to 7 seconds before the Axelero comes to a complete standstill. Caution: Before opening the Axelero chamber, the blow chute should be put into its working position.
Page 44
• Open the maintenance hatch (Read “11.2.4 Opening the AxeleroTM chamber” on page 42) • The sieve that closes off the shredder chamber and shredders that are calibrated to size, comprise two components. An upper sieve and a lower sieve. They are connected together via a hinge.
Page 45
In order to dismantle the lower sieve, the beta pin (1) must be released and the pin (2) removed from the sieve. Caution: Make sure that the sieve is closed correctly and cannot fall open voluntarily. A sieve that opens during work can cause considerable damage to the machine and could pose a hazard for the operator and any bystanders.
11.2.6 Putting the blow chute in working or transport position Caution: The machine can only be used if the blow chute is in the working position. The machine must never be switched on if the blow chute is still in the transport position.
11.3 Engine maintenance Warning: When running, engines emit carbon dioxide: an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Inhaling carbon dioxide can cause nausea, fainting or death. Start the engine outside. NEVER run the petrol engine powered machine in an enclosed area, even with the windows and doors open.
• Immediately clean away any spilled oil. Caution: Make sure that no dirt enters the crankcase via the filler cap. 11.3.2 Engine oil change (Engine Oil) Warning: Filling the engine with oil is performed in TWO steps: Read all of the text carefully! •...
These actions are almost identical to cleaning the air cleaner (read “11.3.4 Cleaning the air filter (Clean air filter)” on page 49). The only difference here is that the cartridge is replaced. New air cleaners of the correct type are available from your ELIET Dealer or from an authorized Briggs & Stratton service centre.
• Insert the new filter (whilst taking note of the direction of the arrow marked on the filter). New filters are available from your local Eliet dealer or from a B&S service center. • Move the tensioning belts on the section of fuel hose that sits on the filter.
11.3.8 Changing the hydraulic oil filter (Hydraul. filter) • Organise the replacement of the filter cartridge when the hydraulic oil is being changed. • Provide a collecting tray with a 15l capacity and place it under the filter. • Remove the used filter (1) after allowing the oil to drain (if stubborn, use an oil filter wrench).
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.
On the other hand, the form of the top of the blade is of essential importance for the performance and the speed of this primary shredding. The angle of the top of the blade will determine the angle at which the wood is pulled inside the shredding chamber. If this angle is rounded off due to wear, turn the blades around or replace them.
Page 54
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; this denotes heating that causes the material structure to change locally and the hardness to decrease. • It is extremely important that the existing cutting angle be respec- ted when grinding. (3: badly grinded blade) •...
Page 56
The blades are extremely sharp. Avoid contact with the blades en allways wear protective clothings. • Each blade is secured with two M8 bolts. (M10 bolts on the Super Prof Max.) Avoid injury to hands and always use two ring spanners with long handles to unscrew the bolts.
Page 57
Blade group 1: The two farthest blade disks belong to this group. (G1) Blade group 2: This group contains 4 blade disks that are enclosed in-between the two farthest blade disks. (G2) For your information Each blade has two sharp sides (image) Front side (F) : The side with the chamfered cutting edge.
Page 58
B Reversing the blades of group 2 Regel : 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 59
11.4.3.2 To replace the shredding blades, proceed as follows: (Replace knives) • The new set of blades, type RESIST/8 / RESIST/10 for Super Prof MAX can be purchased from your ELIET dealer using the following order number: BU 401 300 202 / Super Prof Max: BU 401 301 000.
11.4.4 Checking the drive belt for correct tension (Chk Belt Tens.) There are two belts on the Super Prof, both are hidden behind the belt protection guards for safety. In order to check the tension on the belts, you must do the following:...
11.4.5 Tightening the V-belt (Tighten belt) Riem 1: Engine - Blade axle • Loosen the guide bolts (3 & 4) and unscrew them 2 cm. • Position a metal plate between the base of the engine and the bolt (4) and retighten this bolt. •...
Belt 2: Blade axle - Axelero • Loosen the nut on the back of the tension roller (1) but do not undo completely. • Turn the tensioning bolt (2) in order to position the belt tension roller so that the tension on the belt is correct. •...
Belt 1: Engine - blade axle • Remove the small belt (blade axle-Axelero • Unfasten the guide bolts (3 & 4). • Undo the 4 bolts on the motor (5, 6, 7, 8) (M10 slw. 17). • Move the motor block in order to release the tension on the belt and undo the belt from the belt pulley.
• Refit the guard using the 2 bolts using a reverse sequence to that given for removal. 11.4.9 General lubrication (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).
Page 65
11.4.9.1 Lubrication of pivot points and friction surfaces This group includes the following locations on the machine: Ground drive control pivot points Ball joints of the hydraulic valves Nylon sealing plates for the feed roller guides Throttle control lever pivot point Choke lever Quick-closing sieve screening system Handles for the maintenance hatch...
Page 66
(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 67
Use Sunoco Multi Purpose Grease or a product of the same quality. • It is better to use a thin liquid lubricant that can penetrate into the chains. For this, ELIET recommends Clear Lube lubricant spray from Novatio.
11.5 Maintenance schedule The dashboard display will show (top right hand corner) how many hours the machine can run before a certain service must be carried out. (Next Service: ...h) You can scroll through the maintenance menu using the arrow keys on the dashboard.
11.5.1 Special maintenance A. Special maintenance of the blades (chk knife bolts) 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.
11.5.2 Daily maintenance Caution: Before performing any maintenance, stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch. Wear suitable clothing. • Check for signs of leakage. • Open the shredding chamber (read”11.2.5 Opening the shredding chamber” on page 43). •...
