Always refer to this instruction manual if you have any doubts about an operation that you are about to perform. • If the instructions stated in this manual are not clear to you, do not hesitate to contact your ELIET dealer for further explanation. The help desk at NV ELIET is at your service to answer all of your questions on +32 56 77 70 88. For your information: Also read the engine manual supplied with your machine. - Page 13 ELIET advises against dethatching in a backward direction. • Never dethatch when the ground is frozen. • It is recommended to work a dry lawn. Wet lawns increase the risk of accidents; extra care is necessary under these circumstances. • If the lawn is too dehydrated after a period of drought, dethatching is not recommended. The dust generated from the lawn would increase wear of the machine. In addition, dethatching would have a negative effect on the lawn.
- Page 14 Shoes with a steel top are highly recommended. • For protection of the most sensitive senses, ELIET recommends hearing protection and safety goggles. • Dethatching can produce a considerable amount of dust. If it irritates your respiratory airways, ELIET recommends you wear a dust mask (in compliance with the 89/686/EEC standard). 7.3.5 Danger zone The safe position for the operator is behind the machine, with both hands on the handlebar. • Never allow bystanders within the danger zone stretching up to 10 m around the machine during work.

Page 20: Operating Instructions
9. Operating instructions 9.1 Preliminary checks Caution: Try making a habit of checking the following points before getting to work with the machine: 9.1.1 Checklist • Check the machine’s hours of operation and compare this number with the maintenance table (see § 11.2; page 32). • Check the oil level. Pull out the dipstick and check whether the oil level is below minimum (see § 11.4.2, page 33). • Check that the fuel tank is full. If not, fill it up (see § 9.2; page 21). • Check the air filter for excessive dirt (see § 11.4.3, page 33) • Check the blades for wear (see § 11.5.6, page 37). • Check that the belt tension is adequate (see § 11.4.5, page 33). If not, adjust it (see § 11.5.5, page 37). • Check that the depth setting is correct (see § 11.4.4, page 33). -
Page 21: Refeulling
Fires and petrol explosions can inflict severe burns and cause damage to perso- nal property. Consequently, the following points should be observed: • Never refuel with the engine running. Always allow the engine to cool down for several minutes before refuelling. • Use fresh petrol only. ELIET is environmentally conscious and therefore recommends the use of unleaded petrol. Additives may be used for extended fuel freshness. • Store petrol in an approved tank. Keep it out of reach of children. • Never refuel at the location where the machine will be operated. Keep a distance of at least 10 m from the selected work area in view of fire hazard. -
Page 22: Preparing The Work Area
9.3 Preparing the work site • Never work when light intensity is below 500 Lux. • Besides the machine, the work area must also comply with certain conditions; they must be verified prior to starting the work. • Examine the work area and remove any foreign objects from the lawn. • Foreign objects include: metal, stone, plastic, pvc, bones, rope; but also molehills, branches, water hoses, etc. Some of these can cause severe damage to your machine or lead to blade breakage. • Foreign objects that cannot be removed (such as drain covers, built-in power outlets, water sprinklers, tree roots) must be visibly marked. • Always cut the grass before dethatching. Ensure that the grass is shorter than 30 millimetres. -
Page 23: Starting The Engine
9.4 Starting the engine Caution: Never start the machine when dust has settled on the engine or between its coo- ling fins. It reduces proper cooling of the engine and can cause a fire. Warning: The blade axle spins as soon as the engine engages and the operation handle is pulled towards the handlebar. - Page 24 Engage the engine by firmly pulling the starter cord. • The engine running, set the choke handle to “Open”. This prevents the engine from getting too much fuel. Should this be forgotten, the engine will slow down and start to smoke heavily, and eventually come to a stop. Restart the engine without opening the choke if this happens. • Failure to restart the engine points to a greased spark plug which consequently requires clea- ning or replacing (see 11.5.2 Checking/replacing spark plug).

Page 25: Operating The Machine
9.5 Operating the machine Caution: As long as the operation handle is engaged and the engine has not come to a full stop after turning it off, the blades will continue to spin. Don’t perform any maintenance activities before they have come to a halt. Warning: The mud flap and the belt protection cover offer protection against rotating parts. - Page 26 9.5.2 During work For dethatching, the following procedure must be followed: • Always place the machine on the lawn before engaging the blades. • Push the handlebar down slightly to lift the blades approximately 3 to 4 centimetres from the surface. • Pull the operation handle against the handlebar to engage the blades. • Allow the engine to acquire the proper speed. • Lower the blades. • Push the machine at medium speed. The slower the dethatching process, the better the result. Key issues with regard to dethatching are: • Avoid standing still with the machine as this can cause deep marks in the lawn. • Efficient dethatching involves two runs of the entire surface, the second one perpendicular to the first. • Be advised that dethatching is not the same as cultivating. Both processes have their own speci- fic purpose and are carried out with a specific machine. • Cease the operation immediately when you hear unfamiliar noises. Stop the engine and examine the cause of the noise.
- Page 27 9.5.3 Emptying the collector unit There is an opening in the collector unit through which the level of its contents can be seen. If the unit is full or the machine is losing moss, the unit must be emptied. Release the bracket in front of the blade clutch so that the blades come to a halt. Then take the collector unit by the handle and unhook it from the attachment points.

Page 28: Stopping The Engine
9.6 Stopping the engine 9.6.1 Petrol engine • To stop the engine, switch the throttle or turn the knob into the “OFF” position. • If the machine is equipped with a fuel tap, close it. 9.7 After finishing the work 9.7.1 Cleaning the machine • Failure to clean the machine will induce quicker wear. A machine functioning sub-optimally can compromise the operator’s safety. Failure to clean the machine can cause: increased wear of the bearings 2. increased wear of covers 3. -
Page 29: Lawn Threathment After Dethatching
Working the seed into the soil has preference over sowing on top of the existing grass. It al- lows faster germination of the seed and quicker thickening of the lawn. Watering the lawn at regular intervals is required. The sowing machine from ELIET’s product range is highly suitable for renovating your lawn. -
Page 30: Transporting The Machine
10. Transporting the machine • To move the machine, push the handlebar down slightly to lift the blades from the surface. • TThe engine must be turned off if the machine is moved for transport. • TOnly adults are permitted to move or transport the machine. • TDuring transport children, unauthorised people or animals must not be allowed within a 3 m radius of the machine. • TCarefully choose a clear and free transport path, preferably one with as few obstructions as possible. The transport route is preferably flat, with an even surface. • TIf the machine topples over for some reason, set it upright as quickly as possible. It prevents oil from the crankcase entering the air filter. It is advisable to avoid this as these filters are not cheap. -

Page 34: Checking And Setting The Depth Control
• After cleaning, replace all parts in their original positions. Caution: In the event the machine has toppled over for some reason, check the air filter immediately. The unusual position of the engine may have caused oil to seep from the crankcase via the carburettor onto the air filter. Oil on the filter paper obstructs the air passage. - Page 35 • Place a level object of approx. 4 mm thick under both front wheels. • Turn the blades manually until the tips are as close to the surface as possible. • If the blades touch the surface they must be lifted by turning the 2 depth adjustment knobs (to the left and right) anti- clockwise until they are just above the surface level. • Turn both depth adjustment knobs clockwise evenly. • The depth setting is correct when the blades are only just above the surface. • Check that the front side of the scarifier is horizontal; if not, depth adjustment must be carried out again.

Page 36: Belt Tension Check
11.4.5 Belt tension check Warning: Only check the belt tension with the engine off. Remove the spark plug cap. The scarifier must be tilted to check the belt tension. The air filter must be removed prior to tilting the machine to prevent soiling it with oil. Don’t tilt the machine longer than necessary; place it horizontally again as soon as possible. -
Page 37: Maintenance After 20 Hours Of Operation
• At the rear of the engine, below the engine foot, a plug is screwed into the crankcase. (See the engine manual.) • Get a one litre collection reservoir before unscrewing the plug. • Empty the full contents (approx. 0.75 l) from the engine. • Replace the plug. Wipe away any spilled oil with a clean cloth. • Refill the engine with fresh 4 stroke oil. ELIET recommends a top quality high-detergent oil: SUNOCO DENALUBE SAE 20W50 API SF / CC. • Fill approx. 0.75 litres of oil into the oil filler opening. Remove any spilled oil after filling. For an accurate dipstick reading of the oil level, allow sufficient time for the oil to settle in the crank- case. -

11.5.2 Checking and/or changing the spark plug ELIET suggests the following spark plugs: Honda GX 160 - 5,5 pk BPR 6 ES NGK Honda GC 160 - 5 pk BPR 6 ES NGK • Turn off the engine and pull the cable from the spark plug. • Clean the area around the spark plug and remove the spark 0,8 mm plug from the cylinder head. -
Page 39: General Lubrication Treatment
Tilting the machine can lead to petrol seepage from the tank. Prior to lubricating the bearings they must be cleared of old lubricant and deposits. Cleaning spray aimed at the bearings and in the bearing joints will do the job easily. ELIET recommends NOVATIO KLEENSPRAY-S. - Page 40 Pay special attention to the following areas: • The tilting point of the engine’s fixing plate • Attachment points of the starter cord • Hinge of the blade clutch handle Follow this procedure: • First spray the friction zones with cleaner. Allow it to sit for a while. ELIET recommends NOVA- TIO KLEENSPRAY-S. • Wipe away old lubricant with a cloth or paper tissue. • Once the friction zones are clean, new lubricant can be applied to the contact areas. We recommend NOVATIO PTFE OIL or SUNOCO MULTIPURPOSE LR - EP2. All lubricants indicated are available from your ELIET dealer.

Page 41: Belt Tension Adjustment
11.5.5 Belt tension adjustment CORRECT TENSION + CORRECT ALIGNMENT => LONG LIFE CYCLE OF THE BELT Caution: When adjusting the belt tension the engine must be turned off and the spark plug cap removed or theplug must have been removed from the socket. Wearing gloves is mandatory whenever contact with the blades could occur. - Page 42 • Reposition the machine on all four wheels. • Tighten the two bolts (M10) under the engine plate evenly until the two free belt parts can be pressed together to up to 1 cm from each other in relaxed condition. • Check the alignment of the two brake disks. The brake disks are aligned if a slat, held against the brake disks, touches the four indicated points. • If necessary, alignment can be adjusted via the nuts un- der the engine plate.

Page 43: Changing The Blades
11.5.6 Changing the blades Warning: Wearing gloves is mandatory! The blades are self-sharpening; they don’t require sharpening. • Blade replacement is required when the blades are fully worn. • We strongly recommend NOT to replace only one or just a few blades since this interferes with a uniform operation of the machine across the entire width. The following steps must be taken for changing the blades. • Removal of the blade axle. • Removal of old and placement of new blades • Placement of the blade axle. - Page 44 13. • Remove the blade axle. For your information: All original parts are available from your authorised ELIET dealer. b. Changing the blades The blades are fed on a hexagonal axle. To replace them, it suffices to remove the bearing at the pulley end.
- Page 45 Pay special attention to the blade axle’s order of assembly: • First, remove the bearing. • Then remove the bearing holder. • Take the steel intermediate ring from the axle. Pay at- tention to how it fits on the axle. • Now slide all remaining elements from the axle, one by one.
- Page 46 • Clean the nylon distance collars; they will be put back in place on the axle with the new blades. If the axle shows heavy wear at the location of the blades it must be replaced as well. • Thoroughly clean the bare axle. Use sandpaper if necessary. • Check both bearings for signs of play. Rotating the bearings axles will quickly reveal any bea- ring noise. If there is any, replace the bearings together with the blades. • Place the new blades on the blade axle in the correct order. • Ensure that the blade points correspond to their spinning direction. • Two adjacent blades are always offset at 60 degrees.
-
Page 47: Storing The Machine
• Detach the spark plug (see § 11.5.2, page 38). Spray some penetrating oil with MoS2 into the cylinder. Pull the starter cord until the piston is in its uppermost position. Replace the spark plug. • To avoid rust on the machine touch up all chipped areas or treat them with anti-rust grease. Original paints/enamels in the appropriate colours are available from your ELIET dealer. • Store the machine in a cool, dry storage area, away from possible rain. If necessary, cover it with canvas. • Always allow the machine to cool down before storage. • If the machine is stored outdoors, it must be properly covered with canvas. Avoid direct preci-... -
