Evacuator Valve ?

[TimP]

Hi All.

I have a B3000 and noticed in my owners manual that it instructs me to Open the "Evacuator Valve" at the engine air filter once a week or more if in dusty conditions.

Anyone do this? And is it to be done with the engine running, or off?

The manual is not clear about the procedure.

Thanks.

It's just a rubber nub with a slit at the bottom. Pinch it along the slit so it pops open a bit. Any dust inside will fall out. It's not a big deal. Probably best done when the engine is off so there isnt a radiator fan blowing the dust around, but not critical.

Thanks Fallon! I appreciate the info.
