Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl prefilter (4228 124 1500) is a foam air prefilter element for Stihl petrol hedge trimmers. It sits in the air intake to trap dust, grass and fine debris before it reaches the carburettor and engine. By keeping the airflow clean and consistent, it helps the machine start reliably, run smoothly and maintain power under load. Built for regular use, the durable foam construction resists tearing and deformation when installed correctly and serviced on time. It is designed for a precise fit in Stihl HS 45 and HS 52 hedge trimmers, making routine maintenance straightforward for both professional users and DIY owners. Replacing a clogged prefilter restores airflow and supports longer engine life and better fuel efficiency.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured compatibility and performance
- Durable foam element helps prevent premature wear to the main filter and engine
- Stable airflow supports easier starting and consistent cutting performance
- Designed to fit the original filter housing without modification
- Quick, simple installation to minimise downtime

Typical Applications:
Used during routine servicing of Stihl hedge trimmers to maintain clean air intake in dusty or debris-heavy conditions. Ideal for domestic garden care, estate maintenance, commercial grounds work, and contractors trimming hedges, shrubs, and boundary growth where airborne debris is common.
