Briggs & Stratton 592709 Engine Muffler Guard

The Briggs & Stratton 592709 Engine Muffler Guard is a protective part that covers the muffler area but allows heat to escape when the engine is running. It securely attaches to the top of the muffler which prevents sudden contact with hot surfaces while allowing airflow for cooling. This is often done on compatible small engines that are used in outdoor power equipment to provide safe operation by keeping the desired clearance around the exhaust system. The fitted design assists in achieving uniform engine operation and shields surrounding parts from direct exposure to the heat of the muffler.
