IMPORTANT MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The XLR is a powered precleaner and must be installed prior to the engine filter housing.
The XLR should be mounted externally to the engine compartment.
Under hood installations are not recommended. Fresh air to the XLR inlet is necessary and ejected debris can fill
engine compartment.
Avoid mounting the unit in high heat areas.
When XLR is mounted on a different vibration plane than the engine filter housing, a soft connection must be
used.
When using flex hose, take care to
protect the flex hose from potential wear points
.
When plumbing with rigid piping, you must
use a soft connection such as a flex hose or rubber adaptation
between the XLRunit and the rigid piping
to prevent mechanical stress of the XLR outlet tube.
The mounting location should be selected to require the
shortest amount of plumbing with as few bends
as
possible.

.
The standard length unit
requires approximately 6.25 Inches (159mm) of clearance to service filter. The extended length unit requires approximately
12.25 Inches (311mm) of clearance to service filter.
The XLR outlet can be rotated every 10 degrees.
The XLR ejection ports can be rotated 360 degrees. Release prefilter latches prior to rotation then re-secure.
Use a single
XLR
system for airflows up to 350 CFM (9.9 m
3
/min).
For higher engine air flows multiple units can be combined. Use two
XLR
systems for airflows up to 700 CFM (19.8
m
3
/min). Use three
XLR
systems for airflows up to 1050 CFM (29.7 m
3
/min).
The XLR system can be mounted in a variety of locations and orientations, as long as the ejection slots are oriented in a
fashion that
water can NOT fall/run into the filter housing
.
The XLR unit ejects debris at a high rate. Make sure the ejection slots are pointed
away from any surface
and a
way
from the operator’s field of vision
.
Consider operator visibility when choosing the XLR
system
mounting location.
It is not recommended to mount the XLR vertically, with the inlet down,
and the rain cap should not be used as it
could retain debris and moisture in this orientation. Debris can enter outlet when filter is removed.
Care should be taken to
prevent high pressure water or air from entering the XLR ejection slots duringcleaning
.
