The hardware for attaching the upper handle to the lower

is in the parts bag. Install upper handle (item 30), to

preassembled lower handle (item 28) by sliding the upper

over and down the outside of the lower handle. Using bolt

(items #36 and 71), washers (item #10) & lock nut (item

#11) to install upper handle to 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 screw

and lock nut provided.

The throttle control will be attached to the throttle arm on

the engine and wrapped around the engine for shipping.

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.

FORCE BLOWER PUSH Owner’s Manual

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-ShootTM 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-ShootTM feature the manual adjustment knob, pictured below, can

be used to permanently lock the cone into position. NOTE: be sure to release the knob when returning to using the Aim-

N-ShootTM.

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 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-ShootTM feature will not function when the Front Diverter is installed.
