Description

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 is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and sold individually.
