Briggs Stratton 841497 Round Air Filter Cartridge

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 841497 is a genuine OEM round air filter cartridge designed to maintain clean airflow into small gasoline engines. It filters out airborne debris, dust, and particulates before they reach the carburetor and combustion chamber, protecting internal engine components from premature wear. Built to exact OEM dimensions of 12.01 inches by 8.50 inches by 5.00 inches, this cartridge installs without modification. It weighs 0.33 pounds and is constructed with a plastic housing. Service technicians and small-engine mechanics rely on genuine manufacturer parts to maintain engine performance and avoid fitment issues common with aftermarket alternatives.

This air filter cartridge is used in outdoor power equipment powered by BRIGGS STRATTON 540000 and 610000 series engines. Typical applications include riding mowers, zero-turn mowers, and similar residential and light commercial turf equipment. It is a direct-fit replacement for worn or clogged OEM filter cartridges and is suited for scheduled maintenance intervals as specified in the engine service manual.

Installation Notes

Air filter cartridge replacement is a standard small-engine maintenance task typically performed by small-engine mechanics or qualified service technicians. Before servicing, shut off the engine completely and allow it to cool. Remove the air filter housing cover, extract the old cartridge, and inspect the housing for debris before seating the new filter. Consult the engine service manual for the recommended replacement interval and torque specifications for housing fasteners.
