Parts for Briggs & Stratton 359447-0044-E1: Air Cleaner Parts

The filter pre-cleaner is a first-stage cleaning system for the air filter in combustion engines. Typically, a pre-cleaner will be made of a dense foam material and will fit around a cartridge-style air filter, adding an extra level of filtration for any air coming into the engine. Over time, both the pre-cleaner and the filter can become clogged with regular use and typically need to be replaced as part of routine maintenance. However, intermittent clogs and damage can also occur that would necessitate an emergency replacement. Many people keep an extra set on hand in case of urgent repair needs. This genuine OEM filter pre-cleaner is specifically designed to fit select Briggs & Stratton engine air filters. It is compatible with over 150 machines from the brand, as well as select Toro machines that feature Briggs & Stratton engines. Replacing the air filter is simple but gloves should always be worn for hand protection. Allow the engine to cool completely and check the air filter if you are replacing the pre-cleaner to ensure that it doesn't need to be changed, as well.
