Element, Air Cleaner (Wix Filters) 17211-Z8B-901

This part includes one OEM quality air cleaner for a small engine. A clogged air cleaner will stop air flow to the carburetor, resulting in poor engine performance. The air filter should be checked before operating it, each and every time. Operating an engine without an air filter or with a damaged or clogged one, will allow debris to get to the engine and this cause serious and expensive damage to the engine. For this simple replacement, no tools are needed. Press the retaining tabs down and this will release the cover. With the cover removed, pull the old air cleaner off by hand. Install the new air cleaner by placing it in the housing and aligning the lower cover tabs with the housing and then snap the upper tabs into place.
