PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The existing 317-9524 Air Cleaner used on the 340-9865 Radiator Guard Group does not allow for the installation of a precleaner on certain 511, 521, 522, 532, 541, 541B, 552, and 552B Track Feller Bunchers. A 2262111/">226-2111 Precleaner Assembly can be installed to help reduce the air filter from clogging and commonly causing a loss of power and/or smoking due to the filters becoming completely clogged. If the existing 317-9524 Air Cleaner used on the 340-9865 Radiator Guard Group does not have a precleaner and becomes clogged, installation of the 2262111/">226-2111 Precleaner Assembly will help reduce the operational debris from entering the air cleaner system.
