Caution : If you do not move both control handles by the same amount, the machine will not move in a straight line. • To turn to the right: By moving the left-hand control handle (1) through a larger angle than the right-hand control handle, the machine turns to the right.
Caution : Once the engine is running, the shredding knives are rotating, therefore, irrevocably shredding anything that is introduced into the loading hopper. 9.6.2 Shredding proper • Be careful when performing work. While operating the machine, focus your con- centration completely on the work. •...
Page 26
Warning : Do not lean forwards to push material further into the loading hopper so that your hands NEVER go past the safety screen. • By reducing the amount of material that you feed into the machine, it will operate more opti- mally.
With moist materials, it is best to use a sieve for damp products. (Order number : MA 002 001 001) • Read the fitting instructions in Chapter 13.1 on pag. 52 • 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 opera- tion on the machine.
• Defect in the hydraulic circuit. 9.7.7 Feed roller no longer operates • Engine speed too low. • ABM in disorder (Contact your ELIET dealer). • Problem in the hydraulic circuit (valve). • Chain broken. 9.7.8 Engine no longer runs and the machine must be moved.

Caution : Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when grinding knives. Gloves are also mandatory for performing the maintenance work. Warning : The blade has two cutting edges (reversible blade). Even though one side of the blade can be blunt, the other side can still be razor sharp. Caution : Make sure that all chippings in the immediate vicinity have been removed.
11.4.2 Reversing and renewing the shredding knives Warning : Wear protective gloves as the knives are razor sharp ! Knives sharpened at regular intervals ensure a knife life in excess of 50 hours for each blade edge (100 hours with RESIST blades).
Page 40
When this is not the case, adjust. B. To renew a shredding knife, proceed as follows. • New sets of knives are available form your ELIET Dealer under the following part number : STD blades: BU 401 300 201 Resist blades : BU 401 300 302 •...
• When refitting the shredding knives check that all bolts are tight (torque loading : 40Nm). (Torque loading 35Nm). • When fitting the blades, always position the nuts on the (1) left-hand side of the blade plate. This order of assembly ensures that the nuts are tightened by the direction of rotation of the engine. As a reminder: “Always position the nuts on the belt pulley (2) side.”...
• Align the belt pulleys. To do so, use a straight slat (length : +/- 1200 mm) and hold it against both belt pulleys. When the alignment is correct, the slat will touch the belt pulleys at 4 locations. • Position a metal plate between the base of the engine and the guide bolt (5). •...
11.4.6 Checking and adjusting the tracks for correct tension (Cross Country model) A. Checking for correct tension : • Lift the track somewhere in the middle between the drive sprocket and the tensioner. • If you can lift it for about 1 cm from the tensioner, track tension is OK. •...
This minimises the chance of a hydraulic defect and premature wear. 11.4.8 General 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 45
(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 46
Use the following procedure : • Clean the grease zerk. • Using a suitable grease pump, apply new grease. • ELIET recommends Sunoco Multi Purpose Grease. • Pumping the grease gun one or two times is sufficient to distribute the grease.
Page 47
• Use a small brush to apply the lubricant to the teeth of the gearwheels. Use Sunoco Multi Pur- pose 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.
11.5.3 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 (see Chapter 11.2.4). • Clean the machine (see Chapter 9.8) •...
• Replace the oil filter (see Chapter 11.3.3) • Check the level of battery acid (see Chapter 11.3.7) 11.5.6 Maintenance after 200 hours (or annually) Caution : Before performing any maintenance, stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch. Wear suitable clothing.
• If the machine is to be stored outside, it must be well protected with a tarpaulin. Ensure that water does not directly fall onto the machine. At ELIET, we strongly recommend that the machine is stored at a location that is well protected from the weather, etc.

13.2 Belt conveyor The belt conveyor is installed at the rear of the machine and transports the shredded material upwards. The length of the belt conveyor is 2.5m. The height of the belt conveyor can be adjusted from 1.65m to 1.90m. It is driven by a hydraulic motor that is independently activated. Care must be taken to ensure that the belt conveyor is switched on when you start feeding material.
Page 54
• Hook the belt conveyor onto the attachment points (1) provided on the shredder. • Make sure that the hydraulic pipes do not become damaged during this operation. • Connect the quick fit connectors (prevent the connector ends from becoming dirty; if neces- sary, clean them first).
Page 55
• Set the control to the OFF position and lock it using a hairpin clip. • Refit the cover in the guides of the safety guard. Adjusting the height of the belt conveyor You can set the belt conveyor to an angle thus allowing you to change the loading height. For this, you must move the transverse beam (1) on which the belt conveyor rests at the rear of the machine.
