I have to get up on a ladder to do it, so it takes a little more effort, & I must not have read the directions, as usual!!!

Dick….Is there a way that you can extend the handle on flapper so you dont have to climb to operate it?

Dick when I converted mine from a bag system to a canister this is the handle arrangement that came with my setup.

You might be able to do something like that with some wood and a broom handle.

It hasn’t happened to me yet, but it did to my brother. He had the same advice – make it a habit to rotate the flapper everyday. All the air that gets sucked in a dust collector has to get out. It goes out through the filter. The flapper keeps the filter open on the inside by knocking the dust off the filter, so it can fall into the bag.

-- It must be jelly baby, cause jam don't shake like that...

Never happened to me either but once I forgot to turn the flappers for a few weeks and it took some work to loosen them up so they would move freely again.

-- "so much to learn and so little time"..

I’m presently jerry-rigging a cranking mechanism, so I won’t have to climb a ladder.

It is 9 feet from the floor. I never had to worry about it that high up with the filter bag.

I’ll post it when it is done.
