IV. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Engine Manual for Engine Operation.
Little Wonder recommends using SAE 30 Oil. The use
of multi-viscosity oil will result in high oil consump-
tion 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. The velocity is regu-
lated 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 vol-
ume of air to be directed upward. To reduce windrowing
or to blow over obstacle, point deflector upward.
Slight changes in deflector 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 clear
and free of leaves or other debris.
WARNING - ALL LITTLE WONDER BLOWERS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. WHEN FILLING OIL -
Use SAE 30 Oil. REFER TOENGINE MANUFACTURES INSTRUCTION MANUAL
FOR PROPER ENGINE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
V. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
2. 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.
3. Always refer to the instruction manual for important
details if the product is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Engine - 4 cycle. (Refer to engine manufacturer's
operating instructions for fuel recommendations
and additional information.)
5. Tires - Tubeless. Inflate to air pressure of 30 P.S.I.
6. Labels should be inspected before each use. Replace
damaged labels immediately.
To prevent accidental starting,
remove spark plug wire when
servicing engine or equipment.
DIRECTIONS FOR FAN REMOVAL:
(This procedure must be done by qualified Little Wonder dealer)
1. Remove intake guard and front panel.
2. Remove bolt securing fan to engine crankshaft.
3. The fan has a 3/4-16 nut welded on the fan hub. Insert a 3/4-16 grade 5 bolt (or
better) and jack or push the fan off the engine. (Little Wonder part #910515
pressure screw is recommended.) In some instances, it may be necessary to
apply heat in area of fan hub as Loctite 242 has been used to secure the fan to
the engine crank shaft. Be careful not to overheat.
4. Use a new bolt (P/N 910508 or P/N 910518) and Loctite 242 to insure a secure
fit upon re-assembling.
Wire
Check oil level regularly. Be sure correct oil level is
maintained. Check oil level after every 5 hours of oper-
ation, 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.

WARNING - All Little Wonder blowers are shipped WITHOUT OIL. Refer to engine manufactures
instruction manual for proper engine operation instructions
F. ENGINE/FUEL WARNINGS - DO’S
HANDLE GASOLINE (PETROL) WITH CARE. IT IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Refuel before starting work.
Always use fresh gasoline (petrol). Stale gasoline (petrol) can cause leakage.
Always pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kick-
back and prevent arm or hand injury.
Always operate engine with spark arrestor installed and operating properly. The use of spark
arrestor mufflers is required by law in the state of California (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code), as well as in other states or municipalities. Federal laws apply on feder-
al lands.
Replace gasoline (petrol) cap securely. If fuel is spilled move blower and fuel container from area
and do not create a source of ignition.
Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Always wipe unit dry before using. Move at least 10 feet away from
the fueling (fuelling) point before starting engine.
Always store gasoline (petrol) in an approved container. Fill tank outdoors with extreme care.
III. BLOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
*NOTE : Numbers in brackets (#) represent Key Numbers shown on Parts List, and parts
explosion. See pages 9-11.
A. Install lower handles (30) on top of deck (32, 33). Secure with four cap screws 5/16-18 x 1 3/4
(34), four 5/16 flat silver washers (31), and four 5/16-18 nylon nuts (2), finger tight.
B. Install upper handle (17) with four cap screws 5/16-18 x 1 3/4 (34), eight 5/16 washers (31),
and four 5/16-18 nylon nuts (2), finger tight. Tighten lower handle nuts and bolts.
Tighten upper handle nuts and bolts until the lower handle tubing pinches the upper
handle. It will be normal for the lower handle tubing to crush slightly.
C. Attach throttle cable to upper handle with 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" cap screw (19) and 1/4-20 lock
nut (22) through hole on upper handle (17). For Briggs and Stratton INTEK series engines,
the throttle control will mount on the right hand side. For Honda engines, it will mount
on the left. Insert the 10-32 x 3/4" self-tapping screw through the hole of the throttle
control and into the pilot hole in the handle and tighten. (NOTE: Over tightening the
screw on the left hand mounted controls could cause damage to the control.) Once the
10-32 screw is tightened, go back to the 1/4-20 screw and tighten it enough to get a smooth
action in the control. If the throttle does not maintain it’s setting once you start the
engine, tighten this screw some more. Connect throttle clip (15) to upper handle.
D. Tilt blower back on handle and install front wheel bracket (51) over the three studs on
lower front of blower housing. Secure with three 5/16-18 flange nuts (5).
E. Insert pneumatic wheel sleeve (53) in front pneumatic wheel (52). Install pneumatic wheel
spacers (54) over the axle sleeve on both sides of wheel and install in front wheel bracket
(51). Insert 3/8-16 x 5 1/4 axle bolt (50) through wheel bracket and axle sleeve. Secure with
3/8-16 axle nut (49).
