ENGINAIRE PRE-CLEANER
 APPLICATION GUIDE

To determine the proper ENGINAIRE model the following procedure should be followed.    Refer to the equipment model listing.  Verify the engine and aspiration.    If the equipment model is not listed or the engine is different refer to the engine listing to select the proper model ENGINAIRE.  You will need to know:

  1. Engine model

  2. Cubic inch displacement(C.I.D.)

  3. Maximum engine operating R.P.M.

  4. Aspiration (Naturally aspirated, Turbo-charged, Turbo-charged inner cooled or after cooled)

  5. Measure outside diameter of the air intake pipe

  6. Consult the engine listing section for the recommended ENGINAIRE precleaner size.  Then refer to the specification page for the proper model.

  7. If the engine is not listed, the C.F.M. can be calculated by using the C.F.M. formula.  The correct ENGINAIRE precleaner is then selected by using the specification chart.  You should match the engines C.F.M. requirement into the C.F.M. range column, then reading right to left, considering the intake pipe size, will result in the proper ENGINAIRE model needed.
