My 4 HP deluxe is one where it has its own tank under the cowl. That's where you turn it off. Perhaps the sticker goes to each.

Industrial viniger is much stronger...(30percent) Than store stuff.
CLR is homeowner stuff and not very powerful. Looks like it worked good, the patch correct?
I just removed a concealed side mount this year and mounted a regular control box...so I'm aware of the two wires coming off that delicate switch. Both these harnesses have only one. Trying to remember where the other one comes from. Old age....lol
