Picture 5 Shows one of the nozzles (arrow) aimed at the left side of engine and carb area. The other nozzle is aimed down the right side to take care of an oil line break - fire. Not shown is a pull switch with a bail inside on the firewall immediately ahead of the dimmer switch. Location was my choice so an not to accidentally set it off. Pull cable handle can be placed at any suitable location the owner chooses. The person from the fire extinguisher company that help design this system commented afterwards that the cable system was probably overkill. He felt that the type cables used on motorcycle brakes would work satisfactorily.
