This Briggs and Stratton OEM lawn mower air filter is designed to work with 3 and 5 horsepower industrial plus and 5.5 horsepower Vanguard engines. An air filter is the first line of defense against dirt and debris that can be kicked up from the mowing process. When in good condition and working properly, the air filter prevents dirt from entering the engine through the carburetor.Lawn mower air filters should be replaced every three months (or more often if necessary) to prevent damage to the engine. Changing the air filter is an easy process and is usually performed when changing the oil. Routine maintenance can increase the life of the lawn mower. Replacing the air filter requires a flat head screwdriver and takes only seconds.Remove the spark plug wire. Remove the retaining bolt from the lawn mower's air filter housing. Separate the housing halves and remove the air filter. Clear away debris from the housing to ensure the new filter will not collect any of the left over debris and install.

This replacement pre-filter is an authentic OEM part for a wide range of small and medium sized gas-powered lawn appliances. Before gasoline passes into an engine's combustion chamber, it is first mixed with air in the carburetor to make a balanced and well-oxygenated fuel. The air comes in from outside of the engine. However, if the air is full of particulate matter, it can sully the fuel and cause the engine to degrade. To prevent this, manufacturers install an air filter to catch dust and debris. This is a pre-filter that adds a second layer of protection for the carburetor. After a few months of regular use, an air filter will usually have reached its maximum capacity. If left for too long, it can block air from entering the carburetor and cause the engine to choke up. Therefore, it's important to replace filters and pre-filters every two to three months. This is an easy fix, as most air filters will just pop open. If not, use a screwdriver to gain access. This replacement pre-filter is designed for Briggs & Stratton and Toro appliances. It comes from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
