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.

– Use extreme caution when reversing.

INTERRUPTING OPERATION

- Before leaving the operator's position:

- Park on level ground.

- Release the traction drive bail.

- 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 specically

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.

OPERATING ON SLOPES

USE EXTRA CARE 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.

- Donotoperateonsteepslopes. Poorfootingcould

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 or

drive the machine off the edge.

- 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.

SAFETY

LITTLE

WONDER

BLOWER

Fuel

- Gasoline (petrol)) and die-

sel fuels are ammable;

gasoline (petrol) vapors

are explosive. Use extra

care when handling.

- Store only in containers

specically designed for

fuel.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

In general

- Maintain machine according to manufacturer's

schedule and instructions for maximum safety

and best results.

- Park machine on level ground.

- Never allow untrained personnel to service ma-

chine.

- Guards should only be removed by a qualied

technician for maintenance or service.

- Adjust or repair only after the engine has been

stopped and the fan has stopped moving.

- Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any

maintenance.

- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty.

For best results, always replace with parts

recommended by the manufacturer.

- Do not dismantle the machine without releasing

or restraining forces which may cause parts to

move suddenly.

- Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for

lifted machine or parts if working beneath.

- Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts.

- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.

- Replace faulty mufers.

- To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, muf-

er, and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves,

debris buildup or grease.

WARNING

Fans

Do not straighten or weld fans. Replace dam-

aged or failed fans..

- When refueling or checking fuel level:

- Stop the engine and allow to cool;

- Do not smoke;

- Refuel outdoors only;

- Use a funnel;

- Do not overll;

- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the

engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors

have cleared.

- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks

securely.

Sparks from static electricity can start res or

cause explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static

electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:

- Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not ll

containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed

with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground

away from the vehicle.

- When practical, remove petrol (gasoline)

powered equipment from the truck or trailer

and refuel it on the ground. If equipment must

be refueled on the truck or trailer, refuel from

a portable container rather than a dispenser

nozzle.

- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim

of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling

is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open

device.

- If fuel is spilled on clothing change it immediately.

STORAGE SAFETY

- Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.

- Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.

- Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry

place.

- Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked

storage place to prevent tampering and to keep

children from playing with them.

- Do not store the machine or fuel container near an

open ame, spark, or appliance, such as a water

heater, or a pilot light.

- Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,

leaves and excessive grease to reduce re haz-

ard.

- Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,

mufers and engine to help prevent res.
