[Shotimes] Hazards Do Not Work

[Paul Nimz]

If you take the MFS switch out and hose it down with WD 40 while working all
the controls this will make it good again.  While you have it out pop the
end cap off and spray some contact cleaner in there.  There is also a small
contact piece with three small contact points that you can clean with some
emery cloth.
