Description

This cleaner element is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is made specifically for Tanaka walk behind edgers to keep the airflow to the engine clear of contaminants. Edgers operate in very dusty environments, and this dust can clog carburetors and air lines, wearing down the engine's internal parts over time. If the cleaner element is dirty, the engine's performance will be reduced due to lack of air. If the filter is missing, dirt gets inside the engine. If the cleaner element is dirty, it should be replaced. Do not ever try to clean the air filter; it can cause damage which will necessitate a replacement, anyway. The cleaner element should be replaced regularly. Every two to four engine hours is recommended for small engines. Machinery like edgers that are operated in dusty conditions should be replaced more often. Before removing the housing, clean the dust and dirt off so that it doesn't get knocked into the engine. Remove the dirty filter and clean the interior before installing the new filter. This cleaner element is sold as an individual unit. It is made by Tanaka explicitly for use in the Tanaka walk behind edger.
