Multiquip 17230ZE1820 Air Cleaner Cover - OEM Replacement Part

The air cleaner cover protects the foam and paper filter elements in Honda GX160K1QX2 engines used on Multiquip concrete vibrators, ensuring proper filtration and preventing contamination of the intake system. This cover is a critical component of the engine air filtration assembly that maintains optimal engine performance and longevity.

Regular maintenance of the air cleaner system is essential for reliable operation. According to Multiquip service procedures, the air cleaner cover should be removed for routine filter inspection and cleaning. The foam filter element requires cleaning in warm soapy water or nonflammable solvent, then re-oiling before installation. The paper filter element should be tapped on a hard surface or cleaned with compressed air not exceeding 30 psi from the air cleaner case side—never brush the element as this forces dirt into the fibers. A damaged or missing air cleaner cover allows unfiltered air and debris to enter the engine, leading to accelerated wear and potential engine damage.

This cover is designed specifically for the Honda GX160K1QX2 engine, a 4-stroke overhead valve engine rated at 5.5 HP that powers these concrete vibrators.
