with a suitable solvent.
• If a clog in a Nylon Tube should occur, use the Tube Clog Clearing Wire by inserting into the end
of the tube and pushing until the material causing the clog is discharged.
EXPOSURE TO AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!
• Contents can splash into eyes. Be sure to follow all precautions listed
on fluid containers before using.
