DHS Equipment stocks genuine Multiquip parts so you can get the right component and get your saw back to work without second-guessing compatibility.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Air Filtration Grade — Matches the original Enginaire precleaner specification for correct particle separation efficiency at the intake stage, protecting the engine from coarse debris before air reaches the primary filter.
• Direct Drop-In Installation — Designed to seat and connect to the existing air intake assembly on compatible pavement saws without any adapters or modifications to the housing.
• Confirmed Fitment — Verified for MQ Pavement Saw models SP303516, SP303520, SP303526, and SP303530; use part number 282002 to confirm the correct selection before ordering.
• Engine Protection at the First Stage — A functioning prefilter removes large airborne particles — dust, concrete debris, and aggregate — before they can load or damage the primary air filter, extending service intervals and protecting engine internals.
• OEM Part Traceability — Carries Multiquip OEM part number 282002, giving you a verifiable reference for maintenance logs, warranty documentation, and future reorders.

A prefilter is the first line of defense in an engine's air intake system. It sits upstream of the primary air filter and uses centrifugal or barrier action to strip out heavy particles — dust, grit, and concrete debris — before they reach the main filter element. On pavement saws operating in high-dust cutting environments, a prefilter handles a disproportionate share of the contamination load, which is why maintaining it in good condition is essential. When a prefilter becomes clogged or deteriorates, airflow to the engine is restricted, fuel efficiency drops, and the primary filter is forced to handle debris it was not designed to manage — accelerating wear across the entire intake system.
