Before Beginning Your Installation:

1.  Turn off the ignition. Loosen battery terminal and disconnect the negative battery terminal cable. Allow the vehicle to sit for a minimum of 5 minutes to drain any remaining charge from the charging system.
   NOTE: Disconnection of the negative battery cable erases pre-programmed electronic memory. We recommend saving any memory settings before disconnecting the negative terminal. Some radios will require an anti-theft code to be entered after the negative battery cable is reconnected.
   Preparing Your Stage 1 Intake

2.  Reference the parts list and ensure all components are enclosed. If something is missing, please contact PRL Customer Support.

3.  Make Sure to handle the panel filter by the edges, as you can get some of the oil on your hands since they are pre-oiled filters.

4. To clean and apply oil, please reference the Filter Recharging section at the end of this guide.

5. You will need to unclip the MAF Sensor, and loosen the factory corrugated hose and remove it, and remove the lid of the airbox to access the filter.

6. Pinch the back of the MAF sensor clip firmly and pull straight away from the MAF sensor housing. Be sure to not damage the sensor. Tuck out of the way.
   

7. Remove the (1) Phillips head screw that holds the factory box down to access the interior of the airbox.
   

8. Remove the (2) factory clamps holding the corrugated hose to the airbox. This hose and clamps will not be re-used.
   

9.  With the lid of the factory airbox off, remove the factory filter and replace with the PRL Panel Air Filter. Re-seal the factory airbox.
   

10. Place the PRL Stage Silicone Hose on the factory inlet and airbax. Tighten the (2) worm gear clamps. Reclip the MAF sensor into its housing.

Required Maintenance

PRL Motorsports thoroughly recommends visually inspecting the air filter screen inside the HVI at every oil change. It is required to clean the air filter element whenever the screen is no longer visible or at a 30,000 mile interval. When USed in a higher dUst/arid climate or varied terrain environments, the air filter will require cleaning more often. To clean and re-oil, our #2801 Filter Cleanin9 & Recharge kits can be purchased direct on our website, or via an authorized PRL Motorsports dealer.

Filter Recharging Guide:

1.  Pre-Cleaning: Tap the filter or use canned air/compressor to remove any excess debris from the filter. Be careful to not damage the filter.
2.  Apply Cleaner: Spray the filter with the special cleaning solution provided in the kit and allow the solution to soak in for at least 15 minutes.
3.  Rinsing: Rinse the filter with warm water, clean side to dirty side to flush the dirt and debris outwards from the filter.
4.  Drying: Allow the filter to dry naturally. Try to avoid heat to prohibit any shrinkage that could occur in the cotton present in the filter.
5.  Oil Application: Re-oil the filter using the filter oil that is supplied in the kit. It is recommended to use a single spray per 2″ of filter media. Do not over oil.
