IC 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.
If the air cleaner is off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine fire. And,
dirt can easily get into your engine, which will dan le
it. Alway! 3 tl
air cleaner in place when you're driving.
To remove the air cleaner filter on a gas engine, turn the wing nuts
counterclockwise. Remove the cover and change the filter.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index for more information.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker a\
nd a fuse. If
the motor overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line fuse
in the battery feed wire. This fuse is near the junction block. See “Trailer
Wiring Harness” in the Index for more information.
