Troy-bilt bs-493537s Pre-cleaner Filter

Product Description

The TROY-BILT bs-493537s is a pre-cleaner filter element designed to extend the service life of the primary air filter on small gasoline engines commonly used in lawn and garden equipment. The pre-cleaner sits upstream of the main air filter and captures larger debris particles, dust, and grass clippings before they can load the primary element. Regular replacement of the pre-cleaner keeps airflow consistent and protects the carburetor and combustion chamber from abrasive contamination. This part is installed by equipment service technicians and knowledgeable operators performing routine engine air service.

This pre-cleaner filter is suited for residential lawn and garden power equipment powered by small four-cycle gasoline engines. Typical applications include walk-behind lawn mowers and similar Troy-Bilt outdoor power equipment that use a two-stage air filtration system consisting of a foam pre-cleaner and a pleated paper primary filter. It is intended as a direct replacement during scheduled air filter maintenance intervals.
