OPERATION
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this
equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING
STARTING
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must be
level when checking and filling oil and gasoline.
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when provided on engine).
STOP SWITCH: Located on the engine. "ON" position.
CHOKE: Operated with choke lever on side of engine.
THROTTLE: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle. Move remote throttle control to fast position. Pull starting
rope to start engine.

IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
See Troubleshooting on page 13.
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift ho
lding the handle and handle brace. Secure in place during
transportation. See specifications on page 3 for unit weight.
Do not use the front grill as an anchor point when securing the unit for transport.
Never lift the machine while the engine is running.
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.
DRIVE LEVER:
To engage the clutch for forward motion, simply hold down the clutch lever with your left hand while the engine is
running, this will cause the drive to engage and the machine will proceed to move forward.
Caution: It is not
recommended to “feather” the drive. The drive lever should be either fully engaged or fully disengaged. Failure to
do so can cause premature failure of the cone clutch in the transmission. This type of failure will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
