| Q1. |
What
is an ejective air precleaner? |
| A1. |
An
atmosphere ejective air precleaner is a device that ejects
air born debris before it
enters the air filter. The
advantages of an atmosphere ejective air precleaner are numerous. Click on benefits

Q2. |
Where
and how can I use them? |
| A2. |
Our products can be used in any environment and atmosphere. Our products are currently used on equipment in forestry, landfill, mining and agricultural environments. If you are trying to find a precleaner to fit your needs, please call our sales team at 1-800-351-8265.

|
Q3. |
What other types of precleaners are there? |
| A3. |
Many
machines use ingestive air systems that swallow dirt
particles instead of releasing particles back into the
atmosphere. Ingestive systems collect debris and require
maintenance, either dumping or cleaning. The Series 9000
Air Precleaners eject debris before it enters the air
intake, keeping air filters cleaner longer and protecting
engines. It easily replaces ingestive systems.

|
Q4. |
What
information do I need to decide which size precleaner to
purchase? |
| A4. |
You
need to know the make and model number
of the machine or engine and the CFM of the engine. It is also important to know the OD
(outside diameter) of the intake pipe for installation.

|
Q5. |
How
do you know if I have the right precleaner for my machine? |
| A5. |
Use our interactive sizing wizard for newer machines or our website sizing wizard for machine and engine manufactured prior to 2002.

|
Q6. |
If
the precleaner intake size doesn’t fit the air intake
pipe, what do I do? |
| A6. |
Use
an adapter kit, which should be ordered when the
precleaner is ordered or measure the inlet pipe on the
equipment and order the adaptation kit that matches to
that size. Click here for instillation kits and adaptation parts.

|
Q7. |
Do
all precleaners fit the inlet or can they be adapted to
all inlet sizes? |
| A7. |
The
Series 9000 is designed with 5 standard intake
sizes—2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch. If
your inlet pipe is not one of these sizes, we have
installation kits to size inlet pipes with ODs from 1 to
16-inches.
Back
to Top |
| Q8. |
Should the precleaner be mounted down close to the hood or high in the air? |
| A8. |
It
should not be mounted flush against any part of the
machine as space is needed to allow air to come into the
precleaner. The 9000 requires 1.2 inches below the
precleaner. The 9000R requires 1.8 inches below the
precleaner. The 9001 requires 3.5 inches below the
precleaner. The 9003 and 9004 require 5 inches below the
precleaner. We do not recommend putting the precleaner
high in the air on an extended pipe. The farther away the
air intake from the engine, the more added restriction.

Q9. |
What
if you do not know what size precleaner you require? |
| A9. |
Call
Sy-Klone at 1-800-351-8265 and ask us or click here for
Series 9000 sizing.

|
Q10. |
What
is the difference between an extension and expansion
adapter? |
| A10. |
The
extension adapter is straight and raises the height of the
precleaner. The expansion adapter assists in fitting the
OD of a large intake pipe to a smaller precleaner. |

Q11. |
What is a DVP Plug? |
| A11. |
