Powerful Two-Stage Filtration

• The first stage of this powerful air cleaner consists of hundreds of our exclusive, patented Donaclone™ pre-cleaner tubes. Each tube spins the incoming air to create a centrifugal force that separates up to 97% of the dust and dirt in the airstream. Donaclone™ tubes have no moving parts — so there is nothing to break down or maintain. They function properly whenever the engine is running
• The pre-cleaned dust is automatically ejected from the dust cup with a Vacuator™ Valve, which is located below the lower housing body
• The second stage of filtration is the primary filter. A safety filter, which fits inside the primary filter, is standard on all models for protection during primary filter change-out
