Agree completely with both points, but not everyone is willing or capable of following your free steps

Maintenance tip!
Regularly check that the mechanism operates freely and that there is not excessive free play in the cable that operates the valve. Use an old paint brush or similar to clear any dirt that has accumulated in the spring mech and spray with ACF50 or WD40 ;-)

Exhaust valve in action 9videos......

Of course the best way to go is to ditch the 'cat' box with the pesky valve altogether
