OPTIMAX 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.
