• Remove the star screw and lower the cover.
• Spray a little Mos

based penetrating oil on the blade axle’s
bearing bush and give it a few minutes to work in.
• Use a duster to remove all dirt that has adhered around the
bearing seams. Spray the penetrating oil into the seams of the
bearing seals again so that the oil can penetrate the bearings.
• All excess spray should be removed.
• Spray Novatio White Supreme Grease into the seams of the
bearing seals.
• The whole blade axle can also be sprayed with penetrating oil. Given that MoS

-based
penetrating oil treats rust, the use of this product can never be harmful.
B. Lubricating hinges
The term ‘hinges’ is understood to include: the hinge on the safety bracket; the hinge on the
base; and the hinge on the deflector valve of the blow
chute.
• Start by spraying some penetrating oil into the hinges.
Leave it to work for a few minutes.
• Wipe away old lubricant with a cloth or paper tissue.
Once the hinges have been cleaned, spray them with
Novatio White Supreme Grease.
All of the lubricants mentioned are available from your
ELIET-dealer; consult

11.5.5 Belt tension adjustment
Caution:
When adjusting the belt tension the engine must be turned off and the spark
plug cap removed.
• In order to adjust the belt tension, the protection cap must
be removed. To do so, the 4 M6 bolts (without nut) must be
unscrewed. The cap is also fixed to the chassis with an M6
bolt which has a cap nut and an M8 bolt at the front of the
cap. Two ring spanners (10 mm and 13 mm) are required for
this.
