See Troubleshooting on page 12.

16.2HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the handle and handle brace. Secure in place during transport.

16.3BLOWING OPERATION

Your Billy Goat blower is equipped with a remote exhaust director 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.

Side Discharge Up Position

This position allows air to be directed upward during use to avoid blowing debris into cars or other structures, or to avoid blowing landscaped areas that would be damaged by the high speed air. This position also allows operator to maneuver the machine relative to the work area without disturbing the debris.

Side Discharge Straight Position

This position directs the air parallel to the ground for the majority of blowing operations. The hand control allows the operator to lock the air stream in this straight out position. To LOCK the air in position simply pull back on the lever and pull the lever sideways to the right until the lock engages. See instruction label on the control.

Slide over to right to lock in middle position
