Engine Air Cleaner System
Briggs & Stratton Air Cleaner
An engine mounted Briggs & Stratton air cleaner
provides the air ltering function. The primary lter
element slides over an outlet tube inside the air
cleaner canister with radial sealing action, reducing
the possibility of dust leaks due to improper lter
installation. Intake design, internal baing,
and a dust ejection valve provide dust separation
and automatic precleaning action. Daily or frequent
servicing of the air cleaner is not required.
IMPORTANT: Use only Briggs & Stratton air lter
elements for replacement (Briggs & Stratton P/N
841497 Primary Filter and P/N 821136 Safety
Filter). Aftermarket lters may not seal properly or
lter eciently.
