Your Billy Goat is shipped from the factory in one carton, completely assembled except for the debris bag, deflector assy, upper
handle assembly, rod nozzle door, elbow assy.
1. UPPER HANDLE (item 41). Assemble securely to lower handle
stubs (item 37) and handle brace (item 36), using screws (item
120 & 121), so that screw heads are on inside of handle. Otherwise, premature bag wear could result.
2. NOZZLE DOOR CONTROLS. Assemble ball joints (item 73),
jam nuts (item 138), to both ends of rod (item 47). Do not fully
tighten jam nuts.
Using screw (item 113), washer (item 143) and lock nut (item 131),
connect one end of rod (item 47) to nozzle door mounting. (See
Figure 5). Using rod, pull nozzle door open horizontal to ground
and hold opposite end of rod next to mounting hole on remote
lever (item 48), already assembled onto upper handle. (See Figure
1). If necessary, adjust rod length using threads provided on rod.
Adjust rod length to give a minimum of 1.0" (25.4 mm) hand
clearance between lever & maximum forward throttle position
when door is open. Assemble upper end of rod to lever on handle
using same hardware item numbers as shown above. (See figure
1& 2). Tighten jam nuts.
3. EXHAUST ASSY. Place flange gasket (item 35) onto housing of
main unit and assemble exhaust elbow to housing using screws
(item 117), washers (item 140) and lock nuts (item 132), provided
in parts bag. The rear hole mounts deflector (item 118), using
screw assembly (already attached to deflector) and lock nut (item
132). Bend opposite end of deflector down until notch in rear of
deflector catches onto handle brace (item 36) (see figure 3).
4. DEBRIS BAG (Item 50) (see figure 4).
4.1 Unfold and place mouth of bag over exhaust elbow, com-
pletely covering the discharge opening with bag neck straps,
placing one on each side of elbow flange.
