It has a rotor with 18 securely fitted permanently sharp blades. Each has two cutting edges so that the blade makes two raking motions for each revolution. The permanently sharp blades ensure a sharp edge on the blades for optimal results. ELIET have developed blades that retain their sharp cutting edge during their entire working life and guarantee that the blades will not be fully worn down after they have been used for 100 hours.

It has large diameter wheels for smooth running on any terrain. The nylon rims are shock-resistant and the roller bearings are able to withstand the sandy and dusty conditions encountered during dethatching.

The adjustment of the front wheels is infinitely variable with the height of each front wheel separately adjusted to ensure that the knife drum has the correct depth adjustment across the entire operating width. When adjusting the height of the rear wheels, you can choose from several fixed positions. Thanks to this double adjustment facility, you can ensure that the blades are fully and correctly positioned.

The large volume of raked moss does not expose the operator to anything that is thrown up by the blades as it has a heavy duty adjustable debris flap to deflect flying clippings.

The knife drum is located within a thick steel housing in order to protect bystanders from any flying chippings. Thanks to the vertical belt tension system the belt retains its natural shape even when it is operating. This virtually eliminates wear on the belt, thus significantly extending its operating life.

The Eliet 501 HC aerates and scarifies lawns to encourage entry of air and moisture; it reduces compacted areas, allows top dressings to be used and encourages vigorous grass growth. As this machine is light and manoeuvrable, it can be used on every single square centimetre of your lawn and thanks to the infinitely variable depth adjustment, you can set the working depth extremely accurately
