Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this cover is molded to the exact housing geometry of the GX160UT2QMX2 air cleaner assembly, ensuring a flush, gap-free seal.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Designed to locate and fasten exactly as the original, with no trimming or adjustment needed to achieve a secure fit.
- Broad Plate Compactor Compatibility — Fits MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, and MVH158GH models, covering both single-directional and reversible plate compactor configurations in the Multiquip lineup.
- Engine Air Protection — A properly seated air cleaner cover maintains the integrity of the filtration system, keeping dust and debris out of the engine intake during compaction work.
- Correct Retention and Sealing — The OEM cover ensures the air filter element is held firmly in position, preventing bypass air from reaching the carburetor and causing rough running or premature engine wear.
The air cleaner cover encloses and protects the air filter element on the GX160UT2QMX2 engine, forming a sealed housing that directs incoming air through the filter before it reaches the carburetor. This keeps fine concrete dust, soil particles, and other compaction-site debris from entering the engine, which is critical for maintaining consistent power output and engine longevity. When the cover is cracked, missing, or improperly seated, unfiltered air can bypass the element entirely, accelerating internal engine wear and leading to performance issues or premature failure.
