Description

The pre-cleaner is usually placed over the actual air filter and is designed to catch debris and emissions before they enter the air filter, which will then clean the rest of the air going through the machine. The pre-cleaner can become dirty and clogged with debris as a part of regular use. As such, it should be replaced as part of a regular maintenance routine. However, it may also need to be replaced intermittently if it becomes clogged. An air filter or pre-cleaner is clogged if the engine will not run as smoothly as it should. Always check the manual for compatibility and part numbers, as well as any safety and replacement recommendations. This unit can be installed dry and does not require any special preparation or pre-oiling. This part replacement is suggested as maintenance because you may not be able to tell it is dirty until it is removed from the air filter, but a replacement is easy to perform. This OEM replacement pre-cleaner is compatible with various models of air filters in Briggs & Stratton engines. Be sure to check your user manual for part number compatibility and always wear gloves when replacing engine components.
