{ CAUTION
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 helps to stop flames if
the engine backfires. If it is not
there and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not
drive with it off, and be careful
working on the engine with the
air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter
is off, a backfire can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into the engine,
which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/filter in place
when you are driving.
