Baffle 18020-2082

This baffle, also known as an air filter baffle, is an authentic replacement part used in lawn and garden power equipment. It is a metal plate found in the air filter housing/assembly where it helps to direct the flow of air through the filter. It allows clean air to enter while preventing dirt and debris from entering as well. It can become clogged or damaged over time, resulting in restricted air flow. If you notice that the engine is stalling, and has reduced power, the baffle will likely need to be replaced. Remove the air filter cover to access the baffle. Detach the baffle from the housing and clean the housing. Inspect the air filter to verify that it is in good working condition and replace it as well if it is torn or clogged. Place the new baffle in the housing and secure it with the original fasteners. Each sold individually.
