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 Aim-N-Shoot
TM
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
TM
feature the manual adjustment knob, pictured below, 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
TM
.
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.
