Description
Overview:
This Genuine Kohler pre-cleaner (OEM No. 12 083 08-S) is a green, open-cell foam sleeve that fits over the primary air filter on Kohler CV14 and CV15 engines. Built for dusty working conditions, it traps larger particles before they reach the main filter, helping maintain steady airflow and engine performance. The foam construction is durable and serviceable, supporting routine maintenance without fuss. Suitable for lawn and garden machinery as well as compact equipment powered by these engines, it helps protect your investment by reducing premature filter clogging and wear. If you rely on a mower, garden tractor, or similar petrol-powered machine driven by a CV14 or CV15, this pre-cleaner is a simple, effective way to keep the intake system cleaner for longer.
