Engine Air Cleaner System
Kohler Quad-Clean™ Air Cleaner
An engine mounted Kohler Quad-Clean™ air clean
er provides the air filtering function. The paper filter
element slides over an outlet tube on the air cleaner
base with
radial
sealing action, reducing the possi
bility of dust leaks due to improper filter installation.
Intake design and internal baffling in the cover pro
vide dust separation and automatic precleaning ac
tion. In addition to the paper filter, an oiled foam
precleaner sleeve surrounds the filter and provides
extra filtering action.
IMPORTANT:
Use
only
Kohler
air filter and pre
cleaner
for replacement (Kohler Filter P/N 17-083-
21-S and Precleaner P/N 17-083-15-S). Aftermar
ket filters may not seal properly or filter efficiently.
