Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear
and possible engine damage. Additionally,
operation without the filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.
