Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Stihl intake screen for backpack leaf blowers, designed to protect the air inlet while maintaining strong airflow. Built with a sturdy plastic frame and fine, corrosion‐resistant metal mesh, it helps keep leaves, twigs, and dust out of the blower housing to reduce blockages and wear. The screen is an exact-fit replacement for selected Stihl machines, including the BR350 and BR430, and installs using the original fixings for a clean, reliable fit. By preventing debris from entering the intake, it supports smooth running, consistent performance, and proper cooling. Suitable for both professional and domestic use, this OEM component is made to the same specification as the original part supplied with Stihl backpack blowers in the BR350/BR430/BR450 family.
