Quick Guide to Electric Skid Steer Maintenance

Maintaining your Elise 900/1200 machine is crucial for its longevity and performance. In this guide, we will walk you through the essential steps for basic maintenance, ensuring your equipment runs smoothly and efficiently.

Key Takeaways

• Regular lubrication is vital for machine parts.
• Always check hydraulic oil levels and tire pressure.
• Inspect for any signs of wear or damage.

Introduction to Basic Maintenance

Here's how to do basic maintenance on our Elise 900/1200 machine. Proper maintenance not only enhances performance but also extends the life of your equipment. Let's dive into the steps you need to follow.

Step 1: Lubrication of Pins

The first thing you need to do is put the boom upwards. This allows you to access the pins that require lubrication. Here’s how to do it:

• Locate the grease nipple on the pin.
• Apply lubricant to the pin.
• Repeat this process on the other side of the machine.

Step 2: Lowering the Boom

You can lower the boom in two ways: from the cabin or manually from the rear. Here’s how to do it manually:

1. Open the rear access.
2. Press the green lever to lower the boom.
3. Ensure no one is standing underneath the boom during this process.

Once the boom is lowered, you will need to lubricate the pins again:

• Lubricate the red pins located at the top and bottom.
• Repeat the lubrication on the other side of the machine.

Step 3: Checking Hydraulic Oil Levels

Before checking the hydraulic oil levels, ensure that the pistons are set in their end positions. Here’s how to check the oil levels:

• Look for the hydraulic oil reservoir.
• The oil level should be at least half full.

Step 4: Visual Inspection of Components

Next, perform a visual inspection of the machine:

• Check the pins for any cracks or wear.
• Inspect the battery level.

Step 5: Lifting the Cabin

For further maintenance, you will need to lift the cabin. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure the machine is turned off.
2. Close the doors before lifting the cabin.
3. Once lifted, check the engine components for any damage.
4. Clean the cables using air and return them to their original position.

Step 6: Inspecting Hydraulic Hoses

While the cabin is lifted, check the hydraulic hoses:

• Look for any signs of leakage.
• If your machine has air conditioning, inspect those hoses as well.

Step 7: Lowering the Cabin and Checking Tires

After ensuring everything is in order below the cabin, lower it back down. Now, it’s time to check the tires:

• The recommended tire pressure is 4 bar.
• Adjust the pressure based on the surface conditions.

Bottom Line

Remember, the performance of your Elise machine is directly related to how well it is maintained. Regular checks and maintenance will ensure that your equipment runs efficiently and lasts longer. Enjoy using your well-maintained Elise!
