FORCE BLOWER Self-propelled Owner’s Manual
OPERATION
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.
CAUTION: 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.
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 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.
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
TM
feature will not function when the Front Diverter is installed

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.
