The Activator” agitator
Remove at regular intervals—
about 4 to 6 months—and remove
any lint that may have
accumulated. 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
sticking together. If this area
appears to be dry, apply a light
coat of grease or Petroleum Jelly
around the slotted section of the
shaft before replacing the agitator.
Do not overgrease. Excess grease
may get into clothes load.
When replacing the agitator,
carefully lower straight down onto
the shaft so that it fits into the
slots. Then apply downward
pressure until agitator snaps into
its normal position.
