This outer plate is a component of the air filtration system, designed to protect the primary filter element from larger debris and impact. It forms part of the housing that ensures the filter element is securely seated and sealed, preventing unfiltered air from entering the engine. Damage to this plate can compromise the integrity of the air intake system, allowing contaminants to reach the engine.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Never run an engine without a filter — even briefly causes abrasive damage. Pre-fill fuel filters with clean fuel before fitting to reduce prime time. Replace O-rings on filter housings every second service. Record change dates on filter housing.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Visible cracks, bends, or missing sections on the outer plate are the primary indicators of damage. Continued operation with a compromised plate can lead to the filter element becoming dislodged or improperly sealed, allowing dust and debris to bypass the filter. The ultimate risk is severe internal engine damage from abrasive contaminants entering the intake system.
Ensure all mounting hardware is present and in good condition before attaching the new plate. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this can warp the plate or damage the housing.
Inspect the primary air filter element and the air cleaner housing seals for any signs of wear or damage when replacing the outer plate.
