This premium replacement air filter from SPARES2GO is designed for DIY homeowners and landscaping enthusiasts who maintain equipment powered by Briggs & Stratton vertical engines. Its primary benefit is protecting the engine's combustion chamber from debris like grass clippings and dust, thereby extending the lifespan of your machinery and ensuring efficient operation; however, it is important to verify your specific engine model number before purchase to ensure proper fitment within the air housing.

It is recommended to replace the filter at least once per season or every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first, or sooner if operating in very dusty conditions.
This is a paper-style filter and should generally be replaced rather than washed, as moisture can degrade the filtration media.
Check your engine's owner's manual for the part number or look for the original part number stamped on your existing filter to see if it matches 493909 or 496894.
No, this product is the main pleated paper air filter element.
The dimensions are approximately 183mm in length, 73mm in width, and 76mm in height.
Ensure the filter housing is snapped shut securely; a loose cover allows unfiltered air to bypass the filter.
If operating in high-dust conditions, increase your maintenance interval or install a secondary pre-filter if your housing design allows.
To install this filter, turn off your engine and allow it to cool completely before opening the air cleaner housing. Remove the old filter, clean any loose dirt from the interior of the casing with a dry rag, and seat the new SPARES2GO filter firmly to create an airtight seal. Compatible with engines requiring MPNs 493909, 496894, and 496894S. For maintenance, check the filter after every 25 hours of operation; if working in dusty, dry conditions, inspect it more frequently and replace the filter at the start of every season to maintain optimal engine health.
