Your Little Wonder Xtra Edger is powered by a commercial, two-stroke, air cooled engine which requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and two-cycle oil.
Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded regular gasoline and 1 part two-cycle oil (50:1). Use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline or gasohol (maximum 10% ethyl alcohol, or 15% MTBE, no methyl alcohol.)
Page 9
Here’s how to mix the oil with the gas:
1. Pour 1/2 gallon of the gasoline into a safe one gallon container. Do not mix the fuel and oil in the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 2.6 ounces (50:1 ratio) of two-cycle engine oil to the gasoline and mix. Then add the other 1/2 gallon of gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can. Then swirl the can to blend the oil and gas.
4. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the Xtra Edger’s fuel tank. After putting the fuel tank’s cap back on, wipe up spilled fuel from tank and gasoline can.
IMPORTANT:
Two-cycle fuel separates and ages. Do not mix more than you will use in a month. Using old fuel can cause difficult starting or engine damage. Shake fuel container to thoroughly mix fuel before each use. Do not attempt to run your engine on gasoline only; this will cause engine failure and void engine warranty.
Need pre-measured engine oil? Contact your local authorized Little Wonder dealer.
Remember...
• Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline before fueling your edger. Never, ever run your Edger on gasoline alone. This will ruin your engine and void all warranties.
• Always use a clean gas can and always use unleaded gas.
• Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the engine fuel tank.
• Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions: 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine oil to one gallon of unleaded gasoline.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT use old or stale oil/gasoline mixture. Always use the proper oil/ gasoline mixture. If you do not, your engine will suffer rapid, permanent damage and you will void the engine warranty.

WARNING DANGER
Pressure may build up in the canister. Remove fuel cap slowly
to avoid injury from fuel spray. Replace fuel cap securely.
Clean the fuel cap and canister from time to time.
Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct
contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapor.
Change fuel pickup filter at least once every year or more frequently, depending on use.
Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt
falls into the tank. Never mix the gasoline and oil in the fuel tank of the engine.
Always allow engine to cool before refueling. Accidental spillage of gasoline over a hot engine could cause fire or explosion to occur. See Page 6 - Safety Precautions, Fueling.
Fill or add fuel to the tank only when the edger is in a horizontal position as shown
(Fig. 7). Allow engine to cool down for at least 5 minutes before adding fuel.

STARTING AND STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place lawn edger on ground in horizontal position (see Fig. 9C). Be sure the ignition switch is “ON.” Pull switch toward operator to turn ON. Switch is located on right side of trigger (see Fig. 8).
2. COLD START: Move choke lever up to start (closed) position (Fig. 9A). Press and release primer 3 or 4 times until the fuel flows into the clear tube (Fig. 9B). Place one foot on the cross brace. Make sure you have a firm footing. Hold down engine with left hand and with right hand, pull the starter grip slowly until you feel it engage ­and then give it a fast pull (Fig. 9C). Do not pull out starter rope more than 26” (65 cm) - it might break.
3. Stand between handles to start. Do not let starter grip snap back. Guide it back slowly so that the starter rope can rewind slowly.
4. PULL THE STARTER ROPE BRISKLY until you hear the engine sound like it wants to run or runs then stops (normally 1-5 pulls).
5. Open choke gradually (open position, Fig. 9A) to allow engine to run.
10
NOTE: In warm temperatures or with hot engine, this step may not be necessary.
6. HOT OR WARM START: (Engine has already been started and warmed up.) Switch ignition “ON.” Pull starter until engine runs.
WARNING
The blade will rotate when engine is
idling fast or when engine is cold). TO STOP ENGINE move ignition switch forward into the “OFF” position (Fig. 8).

NOTE: A built-in automatic centrifugal clutch disengages the blade from rotating at engine idle speed. The clutch engages the blade when the engine speed is increased.
7. Throttle trigger (engine accelerator control) is operated by pushing down interlock with thumb and pulling on trigger (Fig. 8).
8. FLOODED ENGINE: (Engine will not start.) If smoke or fuel comes from exhaust and engine will not start. i. Check that ignition switch is “ON,”
CHOKE LEVER is on RUN position.
ii. Pull starter rope up to 10 times to clear
engine of fuel so it can start.
iii. If engine has excessive fuel that cannot
be cleared by i and ii above, remove spark plug from engine and from spark plug terminal, crank engine to clear excess fuel, wipe and dry spark plug of all fuel, re-install spark plug and terminal, and restart as above.
IMPORTANT: After 1 hour of use, tighten all screws (especially 9 screws around gear case). Check after every 20 hours of use.
9. To stop motor, push switch slide on throttle trigger side forward.
Anti-Vibration (AV) Adjustment
Handle nut can be tightened to mark on knob to obtain best AV effect to reduce handle vibrations.
During Break-In Period
A factory-new machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle) without any load. This avoids unnecessary wear during the break-in period. As all moving parts have to set during break-in period, frictional resistances in the engine are greater during this period. Engine develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Keep the unit in a
dry place until you need it again. Do not store where open flame or electrical machinery is operating.
Storing for a long period: Drain the fuel tank and run engine until carburetor is dry.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Xtra Edger is very easy and simple to use. For some people, it may take a few edgings to become an expert.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the edger is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires and other foreign objects.
3. Adjust blade height (Fig. 10). With a new blade, try the second hole closest to operator.
11
WARNING
Only operate unit when moving forward.
DO NOT operate walking backwards,
as you may trip, fall and injure yourself.
!
!
WARNING
TO AV OID PERSONAL INJURY,
NEVER CARRY THE EDGER WHILE
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
Stay clear of the rotating blade.
Stop the engine prior to making
adjustments and cleaning.

10. Sideways Tilting: Lower either left or right
handle to achieve angle cutting (Fig 12D).
11. Clutch: The Xtra Edger is equipped with
a centrifugal clutch. DO NOT run edger at low speeds or, if blade is jammed, at high speeds as clutch shoes will prematurely
wear out and cause damage.
FIG 12B
FIG 12C FIG 12D
4. With both arms fully extended downwards (see illustration on front cover), hold both handle grips firmly. With the engine running, pull the throttle trigger to increase engine speed.
5. If blade is not deep enough, or if digging is too deep, adjust blade height or slightly raise or lower handles to suit depth required (Fig. 11). However, it is always more comfortable and relaxed to have arms fully extended downwards.
6. As cutting action begins, push the lawn edger forward so that the blade can cut the edge as you move forward (Fig. 12A).
7. Continue at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of the Xtra Edger.
8. If blade jams or stops in the ground (Fig. 12B), lower handles or pull back unit and recommence. Control engine and cutting speed to suit work being done. When cutting efficiently, engine speed should be full throttle under load.
9. Edging along Concrete edge: For position of blade, align edge guide on top of blade cover with edge of concrete. If blade hits concrete, lower handles and re-position blade at side of concrete. Even with the grass growing over the concrete and you cannot see the edge, you can feel the edge
of the concrete with the rotating blade by slightly sideways tilting the handles of the edger away from the concrete so that the blade tilts towards the concrete and touches or “kisses” the concrete edge and acts as a guide (Fig 12C). Edger blades are
made from high tensile hardened spring steel and will last a long time. Once the edge is established the second and subsequent times around are very fast especially when the blade kisses or touches the concrete edge (Fig 12C).

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Clean and re-oil the air filter every 5
hours of operation or daily. The air filter is one of the most important areas to maintain. If it is not maintained, you will void the warranty. Before cleaning, make sure the unit is turned off.
1. Wash the two filters in detergent and water (Fig. 13). Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.
2. Apply enough clean two-cycle oil or SAE 30 oil to saturate the filters when squeezed. Squeeze the filters to spread the oil and to remove excess oil (Fig. 13). Reinstall the mesh screen and plate screen, two air filters and air filter cover (Fig 14).
NOTE: If the unit is operated with a dry or dirty filter or without the air filter and/or carburetor/air filter cover, you will void the warranty.
F
UEL FILTER
When the engine runs short of fuel supply and the tank has gasoline in it, clean the fuel filter for blockage (Fig. 15).
T
HROTTLE CABLE
The normal play is .040” to .080” when measured at the carburettor side. Re-adjust with the cable adjustor as required (Item 1, Fig. 16).
NOTE: Throttle cable wire is not to be pulled tight (against trigger throttle). Trigger to have small initial movement before it pulls cable and carburettor throttle lever.
E
NGINE IDLING SPEED
It is normal that the engine keeps running with­out the blade rotating, when the throttle lever is released. When the engine speed is too high or too slow, readjust the idle set screw (Item 2, Fig. 16).
Page 14
BLADE REPLACEMENT
1. Stop engine. Clean area around dust cover and pry out with screwdriver (Fig. 17).
2. Through dust cover hole, place 14 mm socket. On blade end of shaft, place 18 mm wrench on blade nut (Fig. 18).
3. Unscrew nut (Key #40) counter-clockwise (normal right hand thread).
4. Remove one small washer (Key #16), one large washer (Key #17) and one straight then one formed blade (Key #10). Before installing blade and washers, clean all grit and grease. Assemble these parts clean and dry. Fit large washer (Key #17), new blades (Key #10) with flat blade on inside then overlapping formed blade, large washer (Key #17), one small washer (Key #16), and nut (Key #40) (Fig. 19). Tighten nut.
5. Clean plastic dust cap (Key #72) and housing (Key #80); press back by gently
tapping into place. Clean inside blade cover of any built up dirt.
L
OOSE BLADE
Follow steps 1 and 2 of Blade Replacement and tighten nut clockwise.
L
UBRICATION OF GEARS
The oil in the gear case should be filled up according to use by adding light, free-flowing, lithium-based grease (P/N 100130) through fill screw hole in casing (Fig. 17). Use a suitable filling gun or squeeze grease pack (P/N
100130). Remove bleed screw to allow grease to eject, indicating gear box is 3/4 full. Refit bleed screw and push in 3-4 more pumps. Refit fill screw.
WARNING
DO NOT RUN ENGINE WITHOUT
BLADE TIGHTENED TO BLADE SHAFT
AS GEAR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

CHECK THE
SPARK
PLUG
If engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, check the spark plug.
•Allow engine to cool down.
• Remove spark plug.
• Clean dirty spark plug.
• Check electrode gap - it should be 0.02”
(0.5 mm) (Fig. 20).
• Rectify faults which have caused fouling of
spark plug. Possible faults include:
- Incorrect carburetor setting.
-Too much oil or wrong type of oil in fuel mix.
- Old fuel mix.
-Dirty air filter.
- Unfavorable running conditions (e.g. operating at part load).
Do not clean the spark plug in an abrasive grit spark plug cleaner, as expensive dam­age to the engine could occur through loose grit damaging chrome in cylinder bore.
Fit a new spark plug after approximately 100 operating hours or earlier if electrodes are badly eroded (recommended type: NGK
BPMR7A or Champion RCJ-6Y).
NOTE: Using spark plugs other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged.
C
HECKING EXHAUST MUFFLER
Tighten exhaust screws. If exhaust gasket is leaking, replace gasket. If the engine is low on power, check the muffler. Allow motor to cool down. Remove and scrape out excess carbon (Fig. 21) on both inlet and exit exhaust or have this done by a service dealer. Replace exhaust spark arrestor if worn, broken or blocked (Fig. 22).

13. Remove 3 screws, blade support plate and one self-tapper on blade cover. Remove 6 screws (D) (Fig. 6) holding main housing bearing cover. Fit blade loosely and with a soft ham­mer, holding housing up, strike as illustrated until housing pops out (see Fig. 7).
14. Heat housing bearing area (E) on both sides of casing (Fig. 8) where shown with an air heat gun if available to make pinion removal easier. Using a screwdriver, lever pinion back, turn screwdriver on edge to force back further (Fig.
9A & B).
NOTE: Position of screwdriver and direction to lever.
15. With a copper or brass punch (a 7/16” brass or copper shaft about 10” long), hold housing and tap pinion out (Fig. 10).
BE CAREFUL: On the last tap, the pinion and shaft could move out very quickly and if the drum hits any object, it could bend. Use an obstacle of cloth to prevent this.
16. Hold shaft in vice between two pieces of aluminum so as not to damage, and unscrew clutch drum counter-clockwise (Fig. 11). Re-fit new clutch drum. On Pro Model, note 10mm long spacer between metal hub and bearing. Use a 13/16” (21mm) AF socket.

17. To replace clutch housing, remove clutch drum (Fig. 11), tap shaft through housing (Fig. 12) and slide off bearing and clutch housing. Replace with new housing, reinstall bearing, spacer and clutch drum. Place clutch drum housing on top of jaws of vice and carefully tap down (as shown in center of hex nut - not the drum, as you could distort same) until bearing bottoms into housing (Fig. 13).
R
EMOVING PINION
18. To remove pinion, grip shaft just behind bearing in jaws of vice. Use soft aluminum in jaws to prevent damage and unscrew pinion counter-clockwise (normal thread) with vice grips. If tight, heat to break loctite seal and replace if pinion is worn. Replace new pinion, making sure it is tight up to spacer washer (P/N
100514, Fig. 15) and does not move (see Fig. 16).

OUSING
19. Place oil resistant gasket sealant (e.g. Fullerprene 303) around bearing (Fig. 16). Heat up bearing area E with air gun if available.
20. Lock up a 3/8 bolt or a 10mm round brass or steel in vice jaws so it can be used as a mandril. Heat bearing area E with an air gun if available
(Fig. 17) and line up lug on clutch housing (Fig. 18A) with inner recess on main housing
and place center of clutch drum over mandril in vice, tap housing down until it bottoms (Fig. 18B, 18C). DO NOT allow drum to be hit, only centre of hex at end of shaft as shown, other­wise drum could distort and run out of round.

Fit pinion bearing locating screw (43) and leave nut loose (A). Using a screwdriver, lever pinion firmly back to bearing locating screw and tighten nut (Fig. 19B).
NOTE: If this is not done, pinion or crown gear could be tight. Correct distance is 6mm (.236”) (Fig. 19A).
Refit and tighten screws (C) and self-tapping screw (B) (Fig. 19B).
NOTE: If new clutch housing fitted, use a 4mm (.158”) drill and drill through B (Fig. 19B) so self-tapping screw will screw in and locate new clutch drum housing (only one screw necessary).
21. Replace crown gear if teeth are worn. See sequence of assembly (Fig. 20).
22. Check and renew ‘O’ ring if necessary. Fit assembly into housing. If bearing is loose in housing, smear loctite around bearing before assembling. Carefully drive down (making sure gears are meshing) by gently tapping around bearing area (Fig. 21).
23. Fill or top up with gear lubricant. See Page 14 last paragraph LUBICATION OF GEARS”.
