BLOWER
OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to the engine manual for engine operation.
Little Wonder recommends using SAE 30 Oil.
The use of multi-viscosity oil will result in high oil
consumption and possible engine damage.
Leaves, thatch or other debris can be directed into
windrows or piles, by simply maneuvering the unit
and directing the flow of air accordingly.
Air flow can be directed to the side or front by the
two-position deflector. The front discharge position
is used to remove debris from along walls, fences,
etc. The side discharge position is used to form
windrows or piles. The horizontal deflector directs air
downward to “chisel” under wet, heavy leaves and
litter. Air velocity is regulated by the throttle control.
Moving the deflector to the upper hole allows for a
greater volume of air to be directed downward.
Moving the deflector to the lower hole allows for
a greater volume of air to be directed upward. To
reduce windrowing or to blow over an obstacle, point
deflector upward.
Slight changes in deflector position will have a big
effect on air flow. Experiment until you find the best
position for your needs.
For best performance, be sure engine recoil starter
assembly, the blower intake and outlet areas are
always kept clear and free of leaves or other debris.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
Never store the blower with fuel in its fuel tank inside
a building or in a confined space where fumes may
reach an open flame or sparks.
Always refer to the instruction manual for important
details if the product is to be stored for an extended
period.
Engine - 4 cycle. (Refer to engine manufacturer’s
operating instructions for fuel recommendations and
additional information.)
Tires - Tubeless. Inflate to air pressure of 30 P.S.I.
Labels should be inspected before each use.
Replace damaged labels immediately.
Check oil level regularly
Be sure correct oil level is maintained. Check oil
level after every 5 hours of operation, or daily, before
starting engine. Use SAE 30 oil. Change oil after
first 5 hours of operation. Remove drain plug and
drain oil while engine is warm. Replace drain plug.
Remove oil fill plug and refill with new oil. Start and
run engine at idle for 30 seconds. Stop engine. Wait
30 seconds and re-check oil level. If required, add oil
to overflowing at oil fill plug.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING, REMOVE
SPARK PLUG WIRE WHEN SERVICING ENGINE
OR EQUIPMENT.
