He means the air filter has a purpose.
Like , filtering the dirt particles in the intake air BEFORE they trash the MAF.

Thanks Arthur..
Then, how the maintenance for the air filter??
To avoid machine damage?

That's all. ...they just don't want road dirt and debries entering the engine controls and the internals of the engine..A clean a/f will produce all the needed air the engine could possibly consume..

Is this post a joke?
