Cyclonic separator - RA0900KE20015X(09-0015)
The cyclonic separator acts as an air pre-filter. This makes it possible to extend the intervals for intermediate cleaning which are necessary in dusty regions.
The inducted air is swirled by the spiral-shaped guide vanes (1) in the cyclonic housing. As a result, the larger and heavier dust particles impact the outer wall, collect in the rear part of the housing and pass through the dust emptying valve (4) to atmosphere.
The intake air which has been pre-filtered in this manner passes through an intake manifold with a smaller diameter (2) to the air cleaner element in which the fine dust particles are trapped.
Check the dust emptying valve (4) to determine whether the sealing lips are stuck together. If necessary, clean or replace.
Do not remove dust emptying valve otherwise the efficiency of the cyclone will be significantly reduced.
The cyclonic separator cannot be retrofitted to the air cleaner housing. The complete air cleaner must be replaced.
