Use volatile corrosion inhibitor and
rust preventive oil recommended by
us.

used, the internal engine parts may be rusted
due to insufficient anti-rust effect.
Use new (immediately after opened)
desiccant.
* If you use a product which has been unused for
a long time since its package was opened,
moisture absorbency may be weakened, and
may cause the internal engine parts and/or
sliding parts to rust.
After stopping the engine, spray
volatile corrosion inhibitor while
cranking the engine for at least 2
times.
* Otherwise, anti-corrosive agent may
accumulate and harden on the piston, which
could block turning.

inhibitor or rust preventive oil, wear
personal protective equipment such
as protective mask or protective
glasses, and obey the manufacturer's
SDS.

contact with the skin, serious personal injury
may occur.
