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 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. The 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
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.
Operating 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.
Maintenance Instructions
To prevent accidental
starting, remove spark plug
wire when servicing engine
or equipment.
Wire
(This procedure must be done by qualified Little Wonder
dealer)
1. Remove intake guard and front panel.
2. Remove bolt and washer 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 or grade 8 bolt and rotate this bolt to jack
(or push) the fan off the engine. (Little Wonder part
#910515 pressure screw is recommended.)
4. Reassemble using flat washer (#920503) and new bolt
(#920502) with Loctite #242.
Directions For Fan Removal:
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.
Important: Change oil after first 5 hours of operation.
This
is extremely important to insure the long life of your Honda
GC160 Engine. The GC160 breaks in and delivers full power
quickly. The by-products of break in must be removed by
changing the oil after the first five hours or operation, per
Engine Manufactures recommendations. 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. Honda owners’ manual shows drawing of oil being
drained from muffler side of engine. Little Wonder provides an
oil drain slot in deck for draining oil from opposite side (gas
tank side) of engine. Draining oil from gas tank side oil drain
plug may be easier.
