BLOWING OPERATION
Your Billy Goat Force blower is equipped with an air director cone and the patented Aim-N-Shoot
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
extended period, choose a suitable position and use the finger controlled push button lock to lock the cone in positio n.
For operations that do not require the use of the Aim-N-Shoot
be used to permanently lock the cone into position. NOTE: be sure to release the knob when returning to using the AimN-Shoot
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 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
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

feature will not function when the Front Diverter is installed.
