ASSEMBLY

1. The hardware for attaching the upper handle to the lower is in the parts bag.

Install upper handle (item 30), to preassembled lower handle (item 28) by

sliding the upper handle over and down the outside of the lower handle. Using

the bolts (items #36 and #71), washers (item #10) and lock nut (item #11) to

install upper handle to lower handle. NOTE: The Pigtail bolt should go on the

side that the pull start is on and the open end should be facing down. Finish

installing the other side of the upper handle assembly using screw and lock nut

provided. (See Fig. 1)

2. The throttle control will be attached to the throttle arm on the engine and

wrapped around the engine for shipping. Unwrap and secure throttle control

(item #31) to upper handle with screws (item #17). Screws will already be

mounted in handle. Simply remove and use to mount the throttle control

securing the cable with two Ty-wraps. The Aim-and-ShootTM is not attached,

you will need to unroll the cable and attach the ball end to the lever and seat

the cable end into the hole on the saddle clamp, with the cable running through

the slot. To keep the cable from being damaged use three ty-wraps (item 74) to

secure it to the handle as shown making sure that the cable is not rubbing

against the tire. Note: the cable should be seated properly in the saddle and

should follow the contours of the handle. (See Fig. 2)

OPERATION

BLOWING OPERATION

Your Billy Goat Force blower is equipped with an air director cone and

the patented Aim-N-ShootTM control lever to allow the operator to direct

the air stream up or down as required to assist in moving debris. This

feature is extremely useful when debris has piled up to the point that it

cannot be blown any farther. The air stream can be directed upward to

blow the top of the debris pile over and allow the operator to continue

moving more debris farther.

ADJUSTING AIR DIRECTOR

To adjust air direction, squeeze the Aim-N-Shoot control lever. When

you want to blow debris at the same angle for an extended period,

choose a suitable position and use the finger controlled push button

lock to lock the cone in position. For operations that do not require the

use of the Aim-N-Shootfeature the manual adjustment knob (see Fig.

3) can be used to permanently lock the cone into position. NOTE: be

sure to release the knob when returning to using the Aim-N-Shoot.

DO NOT position director cone to where it will blow debris towards

people, vehicles or other objects in vicinity. Flying debris may

damage, harm, or cause injury to people or objects in air flow range.

FRONT DIVERTER POSITIONING (F9 and F13 models only)

The removable front diverter adapter can be slipped inside the

cone to direct the air stream forward. First turn off engine, and then

simply collapse the fold in the larger opening of the diverter and

slide inside the cone and allow it to expand. Then position to the

desired angle by rotating the diverter. This option is extremely

useful for cleaning out long cracks in pavement or for cleaning

under bushes, building overhangs or along curbs. (See Fig. 3 and

WARNING: The unit will be more difficult to control due to the

air exiting the unit. Keep hands on the unit at all times when using

the front diverter. Please note that the Aim-N-Shoot feature will not

function when the front diverter is installed.
