11. Maintenance
11.1 General
For your information:
The dealer and his staff are always ready to help and can also rely on the ELIET
help desk for support. The combination guarantees you the best joint effort to
find a solution for any problems you may have. For repairs or maintenance you
can turn to your authorised ELIET dealer or a service centre authorised by the
engine manufacturer. Please always submit the model and serial numbers of the machine and the
engine, as well as a complete description of the problem. Only use original ELIET replacement
parts. These service parts are manufactured according to the same strict quality requirements
and craftsmanship as the original equipment. For your own safety, only genuine parts should be
mounted on ELIET machines.

Caution:
Maintenance performed in an incorrect manner may compromise the operator’s
safety. Maintenance should be always carried out with the engine turned off.
As a precaution, the spark plug should also be removed or the lead detached.
Always wear safety gloves when performing maintenance. Safety goggles may
be required for certain operations.
