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.
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.
