through air cleaner) for about two minutes. Fogging agent can be obtained from your local after market
supplier. Open throttle for short burst of speed, shut off ignition and allow engine to come to a stop while
continuing to spray fogging agent into air intake.

openings into engine with suitable non-hygroscopic material.

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.
2. Change the oil and filter while the engine is still warm from operation.
3. Drain coolant from the radiator. Open cock at the bottom of the radiator, and remove the pressure cap to
drain water completely. Leave the cock open. Hang a not written "No Water" on the pressure cap. Since
water freezes when temperature drops below 0°C (32° F) it is important that no water is left in the ma-
chine.

place.
