Description

The POWER DISTRIBUTORS 5077K is an air filter cartridge with pre-cleaner designed for small gasoline engines commonly found in residential lawn and garden equipment. The kit includes both the main filter element and the foam pre-cleaner, providing two-stage filtration to protect engine internals from dust and debris. This part is a DIY-grade replacement for Briggs and Stratton service part 698083 (air filter) and 697015 (pre-cleaner), offered as a cost-effective alternative for homeowners and service technicians maintaining outdoor power equipment. The package contains 5 units, making it suitable for stocking or servicing a fleet of machines.

This filter cartridge fits 14 HP and 18 HP Intek OHV engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton. These engines are commonly installed in riding lawn mowers, zero-turn mowers, and similar residential-grade outdoor power equipment. The two-piece design main cartridge plus foam pre-cleaner is standard for this engine family and allows for staged service intervals, where the foam pre-cleaner is cleaned more frequently and the paper cartridge is replaced as needed.

Installation Notes

Air filter service on small engines is typically performed by equipment owners or small engine technicians. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool fully before accessing the air filter housing. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any service work to prevent accidental starting. Follow the engine manufacturer’s service interval guidelines for both the foam pre-cleaner and the paper cartridge element.
