BLOWING OPERATION
TM
Your Billy Goat Force
blower is equipped with an air director cone and the patented Aim-N-Shoot
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 (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.
