Running the engine without the air
cleaner/filter element installed may
cause you or others to get burnt. The air
cleaner can not only purify the air, but also
prevent naked flames when the engine
backfires. If the engine backfires because
the air cleaner is not installed, you may be
burnt. Do not drive the vehicle before the air
cleaner is installed. Also, you should be
careful when working on an engine while
the air cleaner/filter element is not
installed.
If the air cleaner or filter element is
not installed, the engine may catch
fire as a result of backfire, causing dam-
ages to the vehicle . In addition, the dust
can enter the engine easily and cause dam-
ages to the engine. Therefore, you must
drive the vehicle with air cleaner installed.
