Overview
The XRB series is a family of two-stage RadialSeal™ air cleaners for medium dust conditions. The plastic housing and durable construction enables installation in all types of operating environments.
Features
- Smaller in diameter compared to competitive brands with similar airflow
- Improved handling and maintenance — lighter and smaller, changing filters is a snap
- Product design includes:
- Primary filter
- Safety filter
- Filter service indicator port
- Two-stage design features a built-in pre-cleaner that separates up to 85% of airborne contaminants.
- Cover latch position allows for minimum service clearance and eases filter serviceBuilt-in mounting brackets on air cleaner body eliminate the need for mounting bands
- RadialSeal™ design creates a reliable, vibration-resistant interface between the air cleaner and the filter
Benefits
- Easy servicing due to cover latch position
- Easy disposal due to all-plastic design
- Easy installation due to built-in mounting brackets
- Built-in pre-cleaner eliminates need for external pre-cleaner in most applications
Applications
- On- and off-road equipment operating in medium-dust conditions with engine airflow range of 7.5 to 17.8 m3/min / 255 to 630 cfm
- Installs horizontally. Mounting the air cleaner directly to the engine is not recommended; excessive engine vibration can cause premature air cleaner structural failure
- Sustained temperature tolerance: -40º C to 82° C / -40º F to 180° F
- Do not install next to components that exceed the maximum temperature (82° C / 180° F) like a turbocharger, muffler, exhaust pipe or other high temperature component

Service
This servicing information is provided as a best practices guide. It is not intended to replace or supersede the service instructions supplied by your engine or vehicle manufacturer.
1. Check the restriction
Replace the filter only when the restriction level has reached the maximum recommended by the engine or equipment manufacturer or on a regular service schedule.
2. Clean out the Vacuator™ Valve
Remove the Vacuator Valve and clean out any dust found in the drop tube. Reinstall Vacuator Valve or replace if it is worn or damaged.
3. Remove service cover
Unlatch and remove the service cover on the air cleaner to access the filters.
4. Remove the primary filter
The primary filter makes such a tight seal, that you will encounter some initial resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar. To break the seal, grab the end of the filter and gently move the filter from side-to-side and pull it out of the housing.
Application Note: Avoid dislodging contaminant from the filter when it is removed from the air cleaner housing.
5. Remove the safety filter
Replace the safety filter with every third primary filter change unless excessive dust has settled on it during servicing. If you are reusing the safety filter keep it clean while servicing the housing to avoid contamination.
Remove the safety filter by pulling it straight out — giving you easy access to properly clean the primary filter’s seal surface.Block the outlet tube of the air cleaner, using a small dampened towel, prior to cleaning the seal surface to avoid contaminating the induction system.
Note: If a safety filter is not present, check to see it has attached itself to the inside of the primary filter during removal. Inspect the seal surface and housing for any damage. Replace the complete air cleaner if damage is present.
6. Clean the inside surface
With a second clean damp cloth, thoroughly clean the inside of the housing and seal surface.
Note: Failure to clean the surface may cause contaminants to be introduced to the outlet tube or onto the seal area of the primary filter during reinstallation, resulting in a dirty air leaks.
7. Inspect the primary and safety filters
Inspect new filters for any damage, voids, cuts, tears or indentations in the media or urethane sealing surface. If the filter is damaged, do not install.
8. Install the safety filter
Remove the dampened towel from the outlet tube that was used to protect the induction system during servicing. Install the safety filter by pressing it firmly in place until seated. When properly fitted it should fit snugly inside the outlet tube.
9. Install the primary filter
Install the new primary filter by gently sliding it over the safety filter and pressing it into place until fully seated. When installing, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter, not in the center, to complete a tight seal. Continue pushing the filter into the outlet tube until it stops. The critical sealing area will compress slightly, adjust itself, and distribute the sealing pressure evenly.
Note: If you perform filter maintenance service on a schedule versus using service indicators, you may want to write the service date on the filter end cap.
10. Fasten the service cover
Replace the service cover, with the “INLET” arrow lined up with the air cleaner inlet. Do not force the cover onto the air cleaner or use the service cover to push the filter into place.
Refasten latches to secure the cover and make sure that the latches penetrate the slots in both the body and the cover.
Note: If the cover does not fit flush to the body, the primary filter is not properly seated in the housing. Recheck the primary and safety filter installation, following the proper installation procedure so they become fully seated. The cover will then go on easily. Using the cover to push the filters could cause damage to the housing and will void the warranty.
11. Inspect the air cleaner system
Inspect and torque all clamps, bolts and connections in the entire air intake system. Check for holes in piping and repair if needed. Reset the filter service indicator if applicable.
