Need help with a particular bf109 stencil

[Cpt_Farrel]

Hi!

I'm working on a profile of Jürgen Harder's Bf109G-6 and there's some stencilling on the engine cowling that is new to me. It's not the "Glycol/Wasser 50/50" but something much longer. Looking in some books it seems to be found on G-6's (Maybe more versions) that had or could have the tropical filter installed. I'm guessing that it's something about maintenance of the filter but I could be wrong.

Is there anyone who knows what I'm talking about and what the stencil reads?

I'd be very greatful for help!

I've mainly made skins for IL-2/Forgotten Battles earlier, but I'm now doing profiles as well. I'm currently illustrating a threepiece article about Jürgen Harder in REVI magazine and I've got some other profiles at my page:

As near as I can read it from BA D\Foto 710/366/6 it reads as follows:

Vor Schließen der Haube
Sandetscheider-Betätigungsgriff öffnen

In English:

Before closing the cowling

open sand filter operating handle

Thank You for that bit of information!

I'll now be able to complete my profile without compromise on that stencil...

Little type error correction:

"Vor Schließen der Haube
Sandabscheider-Betätigungsgriff öffnen"
