Basically this thread is more out of curiosity.
I know and realize that not every Hustler model ZT mowers engine comes equipped with a Pre-Filter.
This thread is directed to those individuals that do maintain their own engines maintenance, etc.
My particular Hustler mowers' engine (Kohler 7000 Series KT740-725 25hp) comes with a "Pre-Filter" along with the engines regular Filter.
Every Spring I give my mower a complete tune-up, change Spark Plugs, change the Oil, Oil Filter, engine Filter and it's Pre-Filter, etc.
Though from time to time I will remove the engines "Pre-Filter" and clean it throughly with just soap and water, then let dry. Once completely dry I will again, soak it in oil and place it back around the Filter so that the mower is ready for the next cut.
I perform this is in accordance to my particular mowers engines' Service Manual, page 28, section Air/Intake Cleaner which gives directions on how to perform this but does not state any where on how often it should be performed.
Anyone else here does the same or anything similar or just replace with it with a brand new Pre-Filter?
If so, how often do you do this?
Thanks in advance to those individuals that have posted favorably.
