Air Cleaners (Daily)

Empty the dust discharge valve daily and clean the discharge slot from time to time. (Figure 38)

While the air filters should be checked daily and replaced when necessary, there is no need to "over-service" the air filters.That is, they require no cleaning and do not require the use of oil. If the primary filter becomes clogged, simply replace it.
