11.5.4 General lubrication treatment
ELIET is committed to using high-quality materials that extend the machine’s life cycle despite
sometimes dusty work circumstances.
For this reason, special lubrication products have already been applied in the factory. ELIET also
recommends lubricating all parts on a regular basis:
• bearings
• hinges
a. Lubricating bearings
Caution:
As applies to all maintenance work, the engine must be turned off here as well.
Detach the spark plug cap or lead.
Utility gloves are essential.
Bearings that are used under dusty circumstances benefit
from regular cleaning and lubrication.
• Tilt the machine backwards by pushing the handlebar
down. It provides easy access to the blade axle.
Caution:
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.
