Today was cleaning day for my Harmon P38 and P68. Been doing it for 4 years, so I have it down pretty good. Got the 68 done first and then did the 38. I just happened to look where the air wash is and I could see quite a bit of ash down there. I have never cleaned, or probably didn't know it was necessary. With my stove vac attachments I have an adapter that shrinks the hose down to 3/8 inch. I was able to wiggle the hose into the chamber and get everything cleaned out.
So, went back to the 68 and looked at that glass wash. The holes are much smaller, so there is no way I could get the vacuum hose in there. So, I am guessing the only way to clean that chamber is to go through the 1" pipe feeding the wash. If that is the case, I won't be doing it until the annual cleaning. The only other solution, that I can see, would be to enlarge one of the holes. That way, like the 38, I can wiggle the small vacuum hose into the chamber.
How do you Harman 68 guys clean that chamber?
thanks
