Assembly Instructions
You will need some tools –A Cordless Drill to use with the machine, 13mm (1/2”)
and 17mm (11/16”) Spanner or Socket, Phillips head screwdriver, and Allen keys
(a small rubber tipped hammer may also be need).
Handle Assembly
The handle comes in 3 Pieces - 1. Handrail, 2. Upper arm, 3. Lower arm.
(See figure a)
Figure a
Step 1.
Take the Handrail (1) and slide it through the Upper arm (2) (you might need to
undo the knob) Tighten the knob once you are happy with where the Handrail is
sitting. (This needs to be pretty tight to avoid movement while operating the Ellia
3000)

Step 2.
Take the upper arm (2) and attach it to the Lower Arm (3), make sure you take
out the nut and bolt first. Slide together so that the pre-drilled bolt holes align,
(note that there is a small black mark to help align the holes –it is a tight tolerance
fit so you may need to gently tap it together with a rubber tipped hammer) Once
you have them aligned, you can slide the bolt all the way through and do up the
nut tightly (13mm nut)
Handle to Main Body Assembly
Step 1.
Take the Main Body (E) and undo the bolts, washer, and wing nut. Then take your
fully assembled handle and slide onto the Main body (E).

Step 2.
Insert the bolt and washer into the mount hole and into the Main Body (E) and
tighten. Insert the wing nut, nut (spacer) and washer into the adjusting mount
and into the Main Body (E) and tighten. 4 holes to choose from, however we
recommend starting with the second hole from the top –this gives you a straight
handle, the handle can be adjusted here at any time.
Drill Holder
Step 1.
Undo the 3 nuts/bolts from the Main Body (E), take the Drill Holder (C) and attach
the end with the adjuster to the 3 bolts on the Main Body. Do up the bolts finger
tight so that the Drill Holder can slide for adjustment.
Step 2.
Take the drill that you will be using, (make sure you have taken the battery
pack off for this stage of the assembly). Take your drill and insert the chuck
onto the shaft (K) and tighten the drill chuck.

Step 3.
Loosen the wing nut on the Drill Holder (C). Slide the holder along the Main Body
until the Drill slips into the Holder.
Step 4
Pull the cable through so the Trigger rests onto the Drill Trigger (see figure b),
(make sure that the other end of the cable is firmly pushed into the actual Throttle)
(see figure c). Once you have the trigger set, bend the cable over and do up the
wing nut tight (this holds the cable into place) (see figure d). Do up the bolts for
the Adjuster so the Holder can’t move (see figure e).

Step 5.
Take the cable and wrap it around the Handle stem twice (A), if you are right
handed push the throttle (B) onto the right side of the handle, and if you are left
handed push throttle onto the left hand side of the handle. Do up the throttle using
an allen key so its nice and tight.
Test the throttle, by pulling in the Throttle (B) and it should pull in the drill trigger
sufficiently. (Do not put the battery back in to test this, it’s a visual test only).
Roller/Scraper Assembly
Step 1.
Take one of the Rollers (D) and remove the Wing nuts and bolts that are already
in place (see figure f). On the Main Body, remove the Chain Guard (F) by undoing
the top nut and the wing nut at the bottom. (See figure g). (Once you have
experience with this, you can just partially undo the top nut to gain access instead
of removing it completely. This will allow for quicker changing of the implements.)

Step 2.
Once you have uncovered the Chain (G), it will give you access to the rear holding
nut (hidden behind the lower sprocket). Hook the hook end of the roller (D) onto
the rear holding nut. Each side has one. Lift the roller up so that the adjuster holes
line up with the Main Body (E), take the bolt and insert this from the inside out
so that the wing nut is accessible from the outside, do this on both sides and do
up the wing nuts. This can be adjusted as you go depending on the height you
require. Repeat for the other roller.
TIP: Count the holes from top down so you have it even on both sides.

Step 3.
Put the Chain Guard (F) back into place and do up the bolt and wing nut. Test
that the Ellia 3000 moves smoothly by running it back and forth on a level surface.
It should move smoothly. If it seems to not roll smoothly, check that the rollers
are level by checking the adjuster bolts (count the holes that the bolts are in to
make sure they are the same).
Changing Attachments
ALWAYS DISCONNECT DRILL OR MAKE SURE BATTERY IS OUT BEFORE
MANIPULATING PARTS WITH HANDS.
BEWARE THAT SOME OF THE ATTACHMENTS ARE SHARP
(We recommend wearing protective gloves)
Step 1.
Take off the Chain Guard (F). Turn the main body upside down. Near the sprocket,
there is a small latch covering the bearing holder (See figure h). Pull this latch
outwards it will release the holder.

of the attachments are sharp use safety gloves for protection. (See figure i).

Step 3
Chain should now be loose. Unhook chain from top sprocket and take the
attachment out from Main body.
Step 4
Take the attachment you want to change, place the attachment in the main body,
with the sprocket end in line with the small sprocket, hook the chain back into
place (this may take some jiggling as the tolerance for the chain should be
reasonably tight). Pull the latch back a bit to make sure it’s not covering holder so
that the sprocket bearing can easily slide into place.
Push the other end of the attachment into place so that the bearing is sitting in
the bearing holder. Make sure the sprockets are aligned straight. Push the latch
back into place, this will also hold the bearing so if it doesn’t close back over the
bearing something is misaligned. (See figure j)
Figure j
Flip the Ellia 3000 back over and re install the chain guard (F) into place making
sure they are tight.
Now you can re attach the drill or the battery and you are ready to use.

Operating instructions
Place the Ellia 3000 where you wish to start using it. Once you have installed the
drill making sure the chuck is tight, pull the trigger handle and the machine will
start to move forward.
Always make sure the chain guard is in place before operation to avoid things
getting stuck in the chain.
Reminder: you can change the Handle position and the Roller heights as required
when on the fly.
Maintenance
As the Ellia 3000 is made from Stainless steel it can be left out in the elements,
however we do recommend that you disconnect the drill and take the drill out of
the elements.
You may need to lube the chain every now and then depending on how long it has
been left outside or how much dirt and mud it accumulates.
If you have a lot of organic material in your soil, you may find that it wraps around
the shaft, check for this before each use (sometimes even during the use of the
Ellia 3000). Make sure you have the drill either disconnected or battery take out
before you do this.
Bearings may also accumulate dirt if left sitting in the elements, so a quick light
tap with a rubber mallet to dislodge any dirt in the bearings before use may be
required.
Warranty
The Ellia 3000 is warranted under the Curly’s Ag limited warranty of 12 months.
No warranty shall, however, apply if the Ellia 3000 has not been used according
to the instruction given in this manual, even if it is within the warranty period.
