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 flames 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.
NOTICE:
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.
