DRIVE LEVER:
To engage the clutch for forward motion, simply hold down the clutch
lever with your left hand while the engine is running; this will cause the
drive to engage and the machine will proceed to move forward.
Caution: It is not recommended to “feather” the drive. The drive lever
should be either fully engaged or fully disengaged. Failure to do so can
cause premature failure of the cone clutch in the transmission. This type
of failure will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
BLOWING OPERATION
Your Billy Goat Force blower is equipped with an air director cone and
the patented Aim-N-Shoot
TM
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-Shoot
feature the manual adjustment knob, pictured below,
can be used to permanently lock the cone into position.
CAUTION
: 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 and fold it into the larger opening of the diverter and slide inside
the cone allowing 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
. 4 and 5)
WARNING: 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.
