Key specifications

Selecting the right option

This is a flammable cleaner for mechanical parts. For a non-flammable cleaner described by CRC for electric motors see CRC Aerosol Lectra Clean Electric Motor & Equipment Cleaner 400g. CRC directs sensitive electronics to its precision cleaners, not to this product.

Using it

Read the entire label. Do not use on energised equipment. Remove plates or covers to expose the interior and scrape off heavy deposits first.

Spray liberally and allow the product to run off; use the extension tube for hard-to-reach areas. A dry absorbent cloth accelerates drying. Insufficient ventilation or drying time can result in fire or explosion.

Test on a small area first, as the product may be harmful to some plastics.

Storage and handling

Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 50 °C.
