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.
