Huh what is the best way to unclog the ports on a Cimex. Normally I can use an air compressor and blow them out clean...but some reason I have two of the three that will not. Thanks.

Remove the plugs and use a rat tail file (small round file) to clean the inlet of any build-up.

I also put the garden hose (minus fittings), onto the outlet pipe where the pad holder fits on, and back-flush out through the holes where the plastic lugs sit.

Do this regularly.

Cool

I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.

Regular cleaning of the Cimex plumbing is part of the routine maintenance that'll keep your Cimex working in top form.

Who would have guessed that I have a file named after me?
