OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Read the Operator Manual and Engine Manual.

Become familiar with the controls, how each func- tions, and what it operates.

2.Check the engine oil level and add if necessary.

3Fill the fuel tank with good quality, clean, unleaded regular gasoline (petrol). Use a funnel to avoid spilling.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Air flow can be directed to the side or front by the two-position vertical 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 setting.

To reduce windrowing or to blow over an obstacle, point deflector upward.

To avoid blowing in an area, close deflector and reduce throttle setting.

Slight changes in deflector position will have a big effect on air flow. Experiment until you find the best position for your needs.

When clearing a yard or parking lot, a little time spent planning how to blow it off can greatly reduce the total clearing time.

To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the slow position and switch the engine off.

Stop the engine when moving from work site to work site. This will save fuel and prevent inadvertently blowing debris where you don’t want to.

NOTE: When transporting the machine by truck or trailer, close the fuel valve. This avoids the possibil- ity of flooding should any dirt get under the carbure- tor float needle. Leaving the valve open can allow severe flooding which may ruin the engine by diluting the oil.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Stop engine and remove the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.

Keep blower air intake clear of debris for best performance.

Clear air discharge area of any debris accumulation. Ensure machine has been shut off and fan is no longer moving before clearing.

Keep all hardware tight.

Check oil level daily. Top off as needed.

Change engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Then change as recommended by the engine manufacturer.

1.Remove drain plug and drain oil while engine is warm.

2.Replace drain plug, remove fill plug and fill with new oil. See engine manual for oil specification.

3.Start and run engine for 30 seconds. Stop engine.

4.Wait 30 seconds, then re-check oil level.

5.Top off if necessary. See engine manual for details.

2/1/1960, 91270-03-01 specifications

The Little Wonder 91270-03-01, introduced on February 1, 1960, is a noteworthy piece of machinery that has garnered attention for its innovative design and functionality. This compact and efficient outdoor tool was originally developed for residential and commercial landscaping purposes, reflecting the needs of an evolving market focused on utility and ease of use.

One of the key features of the Little Wonder 91270-03-01 is its powerful engine. At its core, it employs a robust two-stroke engine that delivers exceptional performance while maintaining relatively low weight, making it easy for users to handle. The design of the engine ensures that it operates efficiently, allowing for extended periods of use without the risk of overheating, a common concern with outdoor machinery of that era.

The Little Wonder's cutting mechanism is another hallmark of its design. It boasts a high-velocity fan that produces strong air output, effectively mulching leaves and debris. This feature not only saves time but also enhances the efficiency of yard maintenance by reducing the size of collected material, making it easier to dispose of or compost. The mulching capability also contributes to improved soil health, as it returns nutrients back into the ground.

In terms of user convenience, the Little Wonder 91270-03-01 includes adjustable height settings. This versatility allows users to customize the machine depending on the task at hand, whether it’s clearing leaves from a flat surface or navigating through uneven terrain. Furthermore, its compact size makes storage a breeze, a valuable quality for both homeowners and professional landscapers with limited space.

Durability is another strong point of the Little Wonder. Constructed from high-quality materials, it withstands the wear and tear associated with regular outdoor use. This longevity is beneficial for those investing in equipment for long-term landscaping tasks, ensuring they get great value for their purchase.

Overall, the Little Wonder 91270-03-01 combines thoughtful engineering with practical features, making it a standout tool in the landscaping industry during its time. Its powerful performance, mulching efficiency, adjustable settings, and rugged durability have allowed it to remain a relevant choice for outdoor maintenance even decades after its debut.
