with nitrocellulose varnish.
•
Screw out the spark plugs, shift into the 1st gear, give the crank- shaft 10-15 revolutions
with the starting crank and screw the spark plugs back in place.
•
Give the steering wheel 1-1.5 revolutions either direction. Operate the brake and clutch
pedals, accelerator pedal, parking brake handle and choke control knob 3-5 times.
