ASSEMBLY
1. First, attach the front wheel. The hardware
to secure the wheel (spacer, bolt, and nut)
are included with your unit. Gently lower
your Billy Goat ForceTM Blower onto its
back to access the front wheel bracket.
Insert the spacer into the front wheel. Then,
place the wheel into the front wheel
bracket. Line up the wheel axle holes with
the holes inthe bracket. Insert the bolt into
the bracket and front wheel, and then
secure the wheel with the nut provided.
Use 9/16” wrenches to tighten the
hardware and further secure the front
wheel assembly. See Figure 1. With the
front wheel attached, gently lift your Billy
Goat ForceTM Blower into operating
position. Chock the front wheel to keep the
unit from moving while you assemble the
handles.
2. Second, assemble the handles. Locate the
upper handle assembly hardware, two bolts
and two knobs. Line up the upper handle to
the lower handles. Secure the upper
handle to the lower handle with the bolt
and knob. Tighten by hand. Note that the
knob should be installed inside the handle
assembly. See Figure 2. Secure the
opposite side of the handle assembly with
the remaining bolt and knob.
3. Finally, connect the Aim-N-ShootTM cable.
One end of the Aim-N-ShootTM cable is
connected to the airdirector cone, but you
will need to connect the ball end of the
cable to the Aim-N-ShootTM control lever on
the upper handle. First, locate the rolled up
cable beneath the unit. Then unroll the
cable, thread the cable to the outside of the
machine and up to the handle. Push down
on the air director cone to release extra
length on the ball end of the cable. See
Figure 3. With the extra length released,
attach the Aim-N-ShootTM cable to its
holder on the Aim-N-ShootTM control lever.
See Figure 4. Finally, secure your Aim-N-
ShootTM cable to the unit with the zip ties
provided.

OPERATION
BLOWING OPERATION
Your Billy Goat ForceTM blower isequipped with an air director cone and the patented Aim-N-ShootTM 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
haspiled 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 airdirection, squeeze Aim-N-Shoot 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 operationsthat
do not require the use of the Aim-N-Shoot feature, themanual 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-Shoot (See Fig. 5).
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.
