prevent the cooling system from clogging
up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fog-
ging/lubricating of the engine is mandato-
ry to prevent excessive engine damage
due to rust. Perform the flushing and fog-
ging at the same time. WARNING! Do
not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.
