Never operate the engine without the air fil-
ter element installed. Unfiltered air will
cause rapid wear of engine parts and may
damage the engine. Operating the engine
without the air filter element will also affect
the throttle bodies tuning, leading to poor
engine performance and possible overheat-
ing.
When installing the air filter element into the air
filter case cover, make sure their sealing sur-
faces are aligned to prevent any air leaks.
