I
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
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/filter
off.
Notices
If the air cleanedfilter 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 cleanedfilter in place when
you’re driving.
