M17-Series Decon…
Better Adjusting & Fitting
Dear Editor,
This suggestion will make adjusting the M17 decon's flow switch easier:
Once the M17 has been running awhile, it is very difficult to adjust the
flow switch with a normal screwdriver without burning yourself on the
exhaust. We avoided burns by making a long-handled screwdriver out of
1/4-in rod.
Cut off a 3-ft piece and bend one end in a vise to form a handle.
Flatten the other end so it will fit the flow switch screw. Then you can
adjust the switch without getting your hands near the hot exhaust.
