OPERATING SAFELY

IN GENERAL

–Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

–Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

–Never leave a running machine unattended. Always stop engine when leaving the operator position.

–Do not blow towards people, cars, windows, or other items which could be injured or damaged by the blown debris.

–Keep hands away from the blower air intake and outlet.

STARTING

–Start according to instructions in this manual or on the machine.

–Do not change engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

OPERATING ON SLOPES

USE EXTRACARE WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPES. EVALUATE THE RISKS INVOLVED BEFORE OPER- ATING ON A SLOPE

.

-Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that sometimes lead to severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.

-Do not operate on slopes if uneasy or uncertain. Ultimate responsibility for safe operation on slopes rests with the operator.

-Do not operate on steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

-Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.

-Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embank- ments. You could lose your footing or balance.

-Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn slowly and downhill when possible.

-Be sure of your footing on slopes.

-Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks and other hid- den objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide objects.

INTERRUPTING OPERATION

-Before leaving the operator's position:

-Park on level ground.

-Shut off the engine.

-Stop the engine, and wait until the fan stops moving:

-before refueling;

-Stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s):

-before clearing blockages;

-before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;

-if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally: shut off machine immediately. Inspect and have repairs made as needed before restarting;

-except for repairs or adjustments as specifically noted, such as for carburetor adjustment, where the engine must be running. Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts in these circumstances.

-Allow the fan to come to a complete stop when stopping operation to clear blockages, unclog, inspect the machine, do maintenance or repair.

-Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut- down and, if the engine is provided with a shut- off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of operation.

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.
