Dual-Stage Self-Cleaning Precleaner Information




What is t he Sel f -Clean ingPrecleaner?

It separates air from heavier-than-air

particles using centrifugal force,ejecting the debris back into theenvironment.

As the first step of your engine’s airintake system, it prevents most debrisfrom reaching your air filter, whichgreatly extends air filter life.

It is maintenance-free, as no debris istrapped within the Self-Cleaning

Precleaner.


http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/self-cleaning-pre-cleaner-english-20091020-083220-162 4/67Fleet guard Self-Clean ing Prec leane r

Where do you use t he Sel f -Clean ingPrecleaner?

On ANY engine with an air inlet pipe,

in a vertical OR horizontal mount,

in ANY environment where dirt or debris could

reduce air filter life.



How i t Work s :St ep 1

• Air and debris pass

through a prescreenon the underside ofthe unit.

• It then passesthrough recessedvanes, directing airand debris into thethe particleaccelerator blades.

This prevents clogging, as no debris enters that is larger than the

ejection slot can expel.




• Curved particle-accelerator

blades direct air and debrisinto the sidewall.

The ingenious design of the

Self -Cleani ng Prec leane r

allows it to outperform other

centrifugal precleaners




• Strakes (angled fins) along the

interior surface of the dome move

heavier-than-air debris towards the

ejection slot.

• The debris is then expelled back into

the atmosphere.

The Self -Cleanin g Prec leaner

is an ATMOSPHERIC EJECTIVE

Precleaner:

Debris is ejected back into the environment.




• Clean air continues to spin upward,

until it is compressed and folded.

• The clean air is then forced down

into the engine’s air inlet pipe.

NO ROUTINE

MAINTENANCE REQUIRED ,as no debris is trapped

for you to remove,

saving time and money!

Ins t a l lat ion K i t s m ak e i t easy t o inst a l l• In some cases, the precleaner will fit directly onto the engine air inlet pipe.

– The Self-Cleaning Precleaner includes a clamp for secure attachment to the inlet.

• In other cases, an adaptor of some kind will be required, available in our

installation kits.

– The kit will include the required adaptor and clamps (as necessary).

– Adaptors available include fittings which reduce, expand, or extend the air inletpipe.

Chec k t he onl ine Sizing Wizard for m ac hine-speci f ic requi rement s!



Ins t a l lat ion Cons idera t ions Observe minimum hood clearance.

There must be enough room between precleaner and hood

for unrestricted air movement. Extender kits are available.

Must be at least 12 inches from exhaust stack.

This prevents exhaust gases from being drawn into the

engine. Adjust prescreen in snowy conditions.

The Series 9000 is extremely effective in snow.

To prevent the prescreen from icing over, cut

the zip ties holding the prescreen in place and

drop it down the pipe. In the Spring, slide the

prescreen back into place and replace the zip

ties.

Sel f-Clean ing Prec leaners

are there,and what is their airflow range?

There are 9 models of Self-Cleaning Precleaners that cover 10 to 1400 CFM

(0.28 – 39.64 m 3 /m)




BENEFITS

Using the Fleetguard Self-Cleaning Precleaner




The Sel f -Clean ing Prec leaner ex t ends f i l t e r l i fe

The life of an air filter is directly related to the amountof debris ingested through the air intake.

Particulate can quickly clog an air filter. Positioned at the beginning of

the air intake, the Self-Cleaning Precleaner ejects the majority ofheavier-than-air particulate. Thus, fewer particles enter the air filter,

extending its effective life.

ALWAYS reduc e t he i r e f fect iveness!

The Se l f -Cleaning Prec leaner e l iminates t h is tem pta t ion !




Inc reases Upt ime & Ex t ends Fi l t e r L i fe

Less debris enters the filter housing. – This extends intervals between

air filter maintenance,increasing uptime.

Reducing the amount of

micro-abrasive material entering the engine via the air

intake system

prolongs engine life.




Inc reased Engine Per form anc e

Greater Ef f ic ienc y, Less Rest r ic t ion

– The improved design of the Self-CleaningPrecleaner develops greater largeparticle removal efficiency whencompared to other brands of precleaners.

– Lower air restriction increases useable horsepower.• Part number-specific Restriction & Efficiency Curves are available from

Cummins Filtration.

Inc reased Fue l Ec onomy on non-e lec t ron ic a l ly

c ont ro l led eng ines – Environmentally friendly as engine emissions are reduced as less un-

spent fuel passes through the system.

• Electronically-controlled engines also benefit, as they have longer periods

without restriction due to longer filter life.






Quest ion #3

??Can you name at least three benefits

of installing and using the

Self -Cleaning Prec leaner?

•Extends air filter life

•Expels all types of mixed debris

•Lowers cost per

operating hour

•Environmentally friendly

•Lowers overall engine maintenance costs

•Helps maintain engine

performance

Ingest ive Prec leaner: INTERNAL

• Does not work efficiently in thefield on mixed debris because

• Acceptable Mountings:Horizontal installation Only.

• Precleaner Maintenance:Must be manually cleaned.

• Dump valves often fall off, getpainted, or crack and don’t close,

eliminating their precleaningability.

Ingest ive Prec leaner : TUBE BODY• Often ineffective in field operation.

• If moisture or mixed debris is

present, tubes clog, which addsrestriction and eliminates effectiveprecleaning.

• Orifice in the muffler can erode,

causing exhaust gasses to enter airintake. That can melt the tubes and putexhaust gasses into the engine.

• Acceptable Mountings: Vertical
