OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

LITTLE

WONDER BLOWER

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 specifications.

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.
