ASSEMBLY

1. The hardware for attaching the upper handle to the lower is in

the parts bag. Install the upper handle (item 30), to

preassembled lower handle (item 28) by sliding the upper

handle over and down the outside of the lower handle. Using

the bolts (items #36 and #123), washers (item #10) & lock nut

(item #11) to install upper handle to lower handle. NOTE: The

Pigtail bolt should go on the side that the pull start is on and the

open end should be facing down. Finish installing the other side

of the upper handle assembly using screw and lock nut

provided. (See Fig. 1)

2. The throttle control will be attached to the throttle arm on the

engine and wrapped around the engine for shipping. Unwrap

and secure throttle control (item #31) to upper handle with

screws (item #39). Screws will already be mounted in handle.

Simply remove and use to mount the throttle control. Secure the

throttle cable and clutch cable with two Ty-wraps. The Aim-and-

ShootTM is not attached. You will need to unroll the cable and

attach the ball end to the lever and seat the cable end into the

hole on the saddle clamp, with the cable running through the

slot. The clutch cable will also be wrapped up under the

machine. Route the cable under the axle and attach it by

removing the hitch pin and clevis pin and attaching it to the

clutch control lever. After it is attached pull on the cable and

slide it into the hole on the bracket so that it clicks into place. To

keep the cable from being damaged use two ty-wraps (item

#74) to secure it to the handle as shown, making sure that the

cable is not rubbing against the tire. NOTE: the cable should

be seated properly in the saddle and should follow the

contours of the handle. (See Fig. 2 and 3)

3. Connect spark plug wire.

OPERATION

here

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.

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.

ADJUSTING AIR DIRECTOR

To adjust air direction, squeeze the 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 operations that do not require the use of

the Aim-N-Shoot feature the manual adjustment knob, pictured below,

can be used to permanently lock the cone into position.

CAUTION: Be sure to release the knob when returning to using the

Aim-N-Shoot.

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.

FRONT DIVERTER POSITIONING (F9 and F13 models only)

The removable front diverter adapter can be slipped inside the cone to

direct the air stream forward. First turn off engine, and then simply

collapse and fold it into the larger opening of the diverter and slide inside

the cone allowing it to expand. Then position to the desired angle by

rotating the diverter. This option is extremely useful for cleaning out long

cracks in pavement or for cleaning under bushes, building overhangs or

along curbs. (See Fig. 4 and 5)

WARNING: Unit will be more difficult to control due to the air exiting

the unit. Keep hands on the unit at all times when using the front

diverter. Please note that the Aim-N-Shoot feature will not function when

the front diverter is installed.

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic maintenance should be performed at the following intervals:

Maintenance Operation

Every Use

Daily or Every 5 Hours

Every 100-150 Hours

Inspect for worn or damaged parts



Check for excessive vibration



Check belt/chain tightness



Oil drive chain



Inspect impeller for cracks or damage



Inspect for loose parts



IMPELLER REMOVAL

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Remove housing front cover by removing eleven bolts and nuts (items #13 & #14) around outside of front

cover.

3. Remove impeller bolt (item #35), lock washer (item #71) and washer (item #34).

4. DO NOT pry on impeller. Pull on center hub area of impeller only. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a

stuck impeller.

5. Reinstall new impeller in reverse order of removal.

6. Tighten impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt (see Parts List on page 13 for proper impeller bolt torque

specifications).

TIRE AIR PRESSURE

Check at regular intervals and maintain.

Front Tires - 24 Psi (165 kPa).

Rear Tires - 20 Psi (137 kPa).

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

DO NOT adjust while the machine is running!

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Loosen the nut (item #92) on the Idler pulley (item #93) but do not remove it. This should allow the pulley to slide left or

right. Once the pulley is at the proper distance to apply tension to the belt, tighten the nut. NOTE: Do not place too much

tension on the belt, as it will cause premature failure.

3. Reattach the spark plug.

DRIVE CHAIN REPLACEMENT

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Place a block of wood, or another object that will support and

steady the unit under the axle on the side of the machine you will

be working on.

3. Remove the two screws (item #103) holding the chain guard (item

#104) and then remove the chain guard.

4. Loosen the two nuts (item #98) holding the bearing (item #97).

(See Fig. 7)

5. Remove the retaining ring holding the wheel on and then slide the

wheel off.

6. Replace the chain (item #105). Remove the old chain by walking it

off the sprockets.

7. Position the bearing so that it applies the proper tension to the

chain and tighten the nuts holding the bearing NOTE: DO NOT

over tighten the chain, as this will cause premature failure.

Likewise, if the chain is too loose it will come off when the drive is

engaged.

8. Reassemble the machine using steps 1-4 in reverse order.

BELT REPLACEMENT

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Follow the impeller removal steps (2-5 on page 8).

3. Remove the four bolts (item #8) holding the back plate (item 4) to

the back housing (item #6).

4. Loosen the nut on the idler pulley and slide it to the right to

relieve tension on the belt. (See Fig. 6)

5. Slip the belt (item #86) off the engine pulley and the transmission.

6 Replace the belt with a new one and slide the idler pulley to put

proper tension on the belt. NOTE: Do not place too much tension

on the belt, as it will cause premature failure.

7. Reassemble the machine in reverse order. NOTE: You will need

to replace the impeller bolt and torque to the proper specifications

see page 12. DO NOT use the old impeller bolt.

8. Reconnect spark plug wire.

CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. With the machine off, loosen the two nuts on the end of the clutch cable (item #111) going in to the transmission.

2. By moving the position up or down on the threads it will change the tension on the clutch lever (item #113). NOTE: Do

not position it too high on the threads as this could cause the drive not to engage. Likewise, if it is placed too low the

drive may stay permanently engaged. The optimum setting is to remove any slack in the clutch cable when disengaged.

The travel of the clutch control will apply the correct spring force on the cone clutch. Once the desired position is in

place, tighten the nuts securely.

3. Start the machine and check the operation. If the drive cable is not engaging properly, shut the machine off and

reposition the nuts on the cable to tighten the drive cable.
