Operating the engine with the air cleaner
off
can
cause you or others
to
be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops flame
if
the engine
backfires.
If
it isn't there, and the engine
backfires, you could be burned. Don't drive with
it
off,
and be careful working
on
the engine with
the air cleaner
off.
I

If
the air cleaner is
off,
a backfire can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which
will
damage it. Always
have the air cleaner
in
place when you're driving.
