‘I’heActivator@agitatoi*.Remove
at regular intervals—about4 to 6
months—and remove any lint that
may haveaccumulated. No tools
are needed, simply grasp agitator
with both hands and pull straight
up sharply. The slotted section at
the top of the metal shaft has a light
coating of lubricant to prevent parts
from sticking together. If this area
