Tracker Bar Suction Pump
By Rick Inzero

I've just been given a tracker bar suction pump (used to clean the tracker
bar and tubes of a player piano), and don't know how to use/maintain the
pump -- it came without instructions.  It looks like the one in the QRS
catalog- made of unpainted aluminum.   Does someone have a copy of a set
of instructions they could send me or just describe it on-line?  E.g.,
suck each tracker hole, or a couple at a time?  How fast to pull on
handle?  Does it ever need lubrication?  When to clean or change the
filter screen -- after a few notes, pianos or years?

Thanks!
