BLOWING OPERATION
Your Billy Goat Force blower is equipped with an air director cone 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.
