The turbine shaft shield is a replacement part made by Polaris. Making this a genuine OEM product.
The turbine shield plays an important role when it comes to the drive shaft assembly as it helps protect and uphold the integrity of the shaft as well as the turbine. It does this by keeping any outside influence from compromising these parts which can disrupt the cleaner during the cleaning process.
This part is made from a metal material and is located near the front but center of the cleaner. Making it easy to find when trying to locate it or the other surrounding parts that the frame houses. It also is held on by a couple of screws making it easy to remove or replace when needed.
