Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific generator model, manufacturing number, engine configuration, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite OEM parts suppliers identify DP260802 specifically as “LOCKING FLAPS.”
• The Black Max BM905500 (090930311), BM905511 (090930313), and BM905530 (099930634) are documented applications for part number DP260802.
• Factory documentation identifies DP260802 as item 78 within the BM905500 and BM905511 engine assemblies.
• Factory parts lists specify two DP260802 Locking Flaps per documented BM905500 and BM905511 engine assembly.
• The locking flaps are positioned in factory parts documentation near DP260801 Clip, DP262911 Air Cleaner Assembly, DP95622 Breather Tube, and DP264101 Governor Spring.
• Some parts cross-reference documentation shows DP260802 superseded by DJ188F-13014-A Locking Flaps.
• Do not confuse the locking flaps with the air cleaner assembly, clips, breather tube, governor spring, or other nearby engine components.
• Inspect the surrounding mounting and retaining components when replacing damaged or missing locking flaps.
• Replace cracked, excessively worn, distorted, broken, or otherwise damaged related components as necessary.
• If a locking flap has broken or become detached, inspect the surrounding engine area to ensure no fragments or debris remain before reassembly.
• Install the replacement components in the same position and orientation as the original factory parts.
• Shut down the generator, allow the engine to cool completely, disconnect the spark plug, and follow the manufacturer's service procedures before performing engine repairs.
• This listing is for Homelite DP260802 Locking Flaps only unless otherwise specified. Air cleaner assemblies, clips, breather tubes, governor springs, fasteners, and other engine components are sold separately.
• Match part number DP260802 with your generator's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
