cooling water. Either the engine water
pump will be damaged or the engine

mandatory to prevent excessive engine
damage due to rust. Perform the flush-
ing and fogging at the same time.
WARNING! Do not touch or remove
electrical parts when starting or dur-
ing operation. Keep hands, hair, and
clothes away from the flywheel and
other rotating parts while the engine
is running.
