A method of setting up a system to redistribute loose material； including the steps of: obtaining a blower assembly that is configured to generate a pressurized supply of air that is discharged at an outlet； obtaining a wheeled carrying unit for the blower assembly； and operatively positioning the blower assembly on a frame on the carrying unit. The carrying unit and blower assembly are configured so that with the blower assembly operatively positioned the carrying unit can be advanced by the user over the subjacent support surface to thereby cause pressurized air generated by the blower assembly to be directed to continuously and controllably redistribute loose material residing on the subjacent support surface.
