a Evacuator Valve
Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary
conditions - or daily when used in dusty condition - to
get rid of large particles of dust and dirt.
IMPORTANT:
¡ If the dust cup is mounted incorrectly, dust or dirt
will not collect in the cup and allow the dust to
come into direct contact with the element and thus
require the element be replaced prematurely.
