BLOWING OPERATION
16.3
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
Slide over to right to
lock in middle 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.
