Description
Overview:
This genuine Kohler pre-cleaner (OEM No. 12 083 12-S) is a foam sleeve that fits over the primary air filter to trap larger dust and debris before they reach the engine. Made from durable open-cell foam, it helps keep airflow consistent and reduces wear on the main filter and engine components. It is designed for Kohler CV series engines commonly used in garden and construction machinery, including CV430 and CV450. By intercepting contamination at the intake, it supports reliable starting, smoother running, and longer service intervals. The pre-cleaner is a direct replacement for the original part, offering the correct fit and performance expected from a Genuine Part, and is quick to install for routine maintenance or filter changes.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler Part for assured quality and compatibility (OEM 12 083 12-S)
- Open-cell foam construction captures coarse particles before the main filter
- Helps maintain clean airflow and consistent engine performance
- Extends the life of the primary air filter and reduces maintenance frequency
- Direct-fit design for Kohler CV series housings; no modifications required

Typical Applications:
Used on Kohler CV-series engines powering ride-on mowers, garden tractors, lawn and groundcare equipment, and compact construction machinery. Ideal for mowing, landscaping, estate maintenance, and light site work where airborne dust is common. Helps keep engines running efficiently between full air filter changes, especially in dry seasons and high-dust environments.
