Additional Information

Briggs & Stratton pre-filter part number 697015 replaces part numbers 274874 and BS-697015. This foam filter wraps around the primary air filter to trap fine debris and dust before it reaches the engine, helping to extend the life of the air filter and improve overall engine protection.

If you notice excessive dirt buildup on the air filter or a decrease in engine performance, replacing the pre-filter can help restore proper airflow and prevent damage caused by contaminants. This part is designed for durability and easy installation?just slide it over the clean primary filter.

Before installing, make sure the engine is cool and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges or hot components.

Regularly replacing the pre-filter is a simple way to support engine health, improve performance, and prevent costly repairs. Always check your equipment?s manual to confirm compatibility and recommended maintenance intervals.

It's a Pre-Filter! Anyone can do this.
May 17, 2021|Driver8, West Springfield, MA

I tune up my Sears lawn tractor every year: plug, gas filter, oil filter, air filter and the pre-filter. Out side of the spark plug and the oil, everything else comes from Sears. Everything on the tune up list is easy to install. The easiest of them all is the pre-filter. Once the tractor is tuned, I order next year's parts. Sears tractor, Sears parts list and parts on line, game, match, set!

Sears store was not familiar with the part
March 27, 2019|Bugle, Water Valley, MS

Being too wet to mow for the first time this season, thought I'd go ahead and perform some maintenance on the mower and get it ready for the first job of the mowing season. First up, the air filter. I was totally unaware there were two filters in the air filter compartment, the regular paper filter, and, an "engine pre-filter". The local Sears store had the paper filter, but did not have a pre-filter. The clerk who was helping me was unaware of it himself. Rather than having Sears order the part, went home, reviewed the schematic on line to make sure what I was looking at, and ordered it myself. It was a Saturday. I was going out-of-town on the next Friday and was hoping to get the part by Thursday so I could mow the grass before I left. Shipment was estimated to be 4 business days which could mean I would get the part on Friday. However, the part was delivered on time, Thursday, the larger air filter and the pre-filter installed, and got the lawn mowed on Thursday. Couldn't ask for a better conclusion. Thanks Sears for a successful part replacement.
