ASSEMBLY

|
---|---

1. The hardware for attaching the upper handle to the lower is in the parts bag. Install the upper handle (item 30), to preassemble the lower handle (item 28) by sliding the upper handle over and down the outside of the lower handle. Use the bolts (items #36 and #71), washers (item #10), and lock nut (item #11) to install the upper handle to the 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 the 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 the handle. Simply remove and use to mount the throttle control securing the cable with two Ty-wraps. The Aim-and-Shoot TM 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)

3. Connect spark plug wire.

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 the Aim-N-Shoot control lever. If 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 the director cone to where it will blow debris towards people, vehicles or other objects in the vicinity. Flying debris may damage, harm, or cause injury to people or objects in the airflow 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 the 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 the pavement or for cleaning under bushes, building overhangs or along curbs. (See Fig. 3 and 4)
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- -Shoot feature will not function when the front diverter is installed.

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance should be performed at the following intervals

IMPELLER REMOVAL

1. Wait for the engine to cool and disconnect the spark plug.

3. Remove impeller bolt (item #35), lock washer (item #86) and washer (item #34).
4. DO NOT pry on the impeller. Pull on center hub area only of impeller. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.
5. Reinstall the new impeller in reverse order of removal.
6. Tighten the impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt (see Parts List on page 10 for proper impeller bolt torque specifications).
