Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Rtunes Racing Cold Air Cone Dry Air Filter operates automatically as part of your vehicle's air intake system. It is designed to provide consistent high-performance airflow and filtration without requiring user intervention during normal vehicle operation.
The filter's design may result in a slightly louder sound during acceleration compared to a stock air filter, due to increased airflow.
Maintenance
The Rtunes Racing Cold Air Cone Dry Air Filter is washable and reusable, designed for long-term use. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal performance and engine protection.
Cleaning Procedure:
- Remove the Filter: Carefully detach the air filter from the intake pipe by loosening the clamp.
- Clean Excess Debris: Gently tap the filter to remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Wash: Use a mild soap and water solution to wash the filter. Rinse thoroughly with water until all soap residue is gone and the water runs clear.
- Dry: Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not use compressed air or heat, as this can damage the filter material.
- Reinstall: Once completely dry, reinstall the filter following the "Setup and Installation" steps.
It is recommended to check the filter every 5,000 miles to assess its condition and determine if cleaning is necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Rtunes Racing air filter, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Reduced Engine Performance:
- Check if the filter is dirty and requires cleaning. A clogged filter restricts airflow.
- Ensure the filter is securely clamped to the intake pipe, preventing air leaks.
- Unusual Engine Noises:
- Verify that all connections are tight and the filter is not loose.
- Inspect the filter for any damage or tears in the mesh material.
- Filter Degradation:
- If the filter material or structure shows signs of degradation (e.g., tearing, crumbling), replace the filter immediately to prevent engine damage.
- Ensure the filter is not exposed to excessive heat or harsh chemicals that could compromise its integrity.
If problems persist after checking these points, consult a professional mechanic.
