Remove the 4 screws securing the bed to the vehicle. Lift it up and out, twisting to get it around the vehicle’s side covers.

STEP 2

Release the back of the seats (rear if 4 seater) by pressing the release button near the headrest and pull the seats up and out.

Remove the remaining screws securing the rear driver side body panel to the vehicle from the inside of the vehicle.

Note: Some fasteners and snap-ins vary based on model year.

Pull the side panel assembly off of the vehicle.

Cut out the 3 pages of templates you received. If you received your kit before we started adding the templates, please call or email customerservice@sbfilters.com so we can send you the templates/trimlock.

Align the 2 pieces for the longer template and tape together. The words/lines are duplicated to show where it should be taped together.

This is what the trimming templates should look like before putting them on the body panels.

Line up the longer template with the fender body panel. Use the screw hole in the body panel to help line up. Trace the template with a pen.

With a reciprocating saw, cut around the trim line. Cover the area around the trim line with painters tape to prevent any scratching. 

Clean up area that was cut then install the trimlock over the area that was cut.

Install the next template onto the vehicle. Tape down, then trace the exposed inside area.

Tape around the area around the traced area. Use a drill to help start the cut.

With a reciprocating saw, cut out the traced area

Remove the rear panel panel behind the removed seats by turning the quarter turn fasteners.

Remove the two screws that secure the stock side cover to the frame.

Loosen the hose clamp securing the side cover tube to the intake box.

Remove the side cover and tube from the vehicle by pulling it out and twisting.

Install the bent bracket to the underside of the particle separator using the provided M6 bolts and washers, orienting the bracket with bend going up as pictured. Fully tighten the screws.

Install the L bracket with the holes that are closer together to the top of the particle separator using the provided M6 bolts and washers. Only hand tighten the screws.

Install the other L bracket to the side of the particle separator using the provided M6 screws and washers, hand tightening the screws.

Press the two straps onto the frame of the vehicle with plastic on the frame to prevent scratching. One strap goes just below the tab sticking out of the frame, and the other right above the weld on the lower end of the same tube.

Install the pivot bodies into the clamp straps with the M8 bolt, washers, and nut. Loosely orient them as pictured.

Fit the particle separator assembly into the area around the suspension going under the tail light, sliding the bent bracket between the frame and panel. Use the removed stock hex screw from step 7 to fasten the bent bracket to the same hole in the frame. Tighten it down slightly so the separator is free to move but not going to fall from the vehicle when you aren’t holding it up.

Loosely fasten the two L brackets to the pivot bodies with the shorter M8 screws after applying the supplied threadlocker. Hold up the separator on the outside with your leg or the help of a friend while fastening to the pivot bodies. This makes the particle separator level and helps position the clamps and pivot bodies.

Fully tighten the hex screw at the stock location.

While pushing up on the particle separator on the outside to correctly align it, fully tighten down the pivot bodies and L brackets. They should be at the pictured locations and the separator should be firmly in place after this step with none of the brackets able to move.

HAVING A LEVEL PARTICLE SEPARATOR IS IMPORTANT FOR ITS EFFICIENCY.

Put the two couplers on the tube along with the hose clamps. The side connecting to the particle separator has an indicator line. Push this coupler completely over the tube to make installation easier while installing the other coupler up to the bead.

Connect the end of the tube going to the air box first.

Slide the coupler fully pushed onto the tube to connect it to the outlet of the particle separator. Twist the tube to align the indicators.

Fully tighten the 4 hose clamps on the tube.

Begin the wire harness installation by opening the center console in the dash and removing the tray by pulling up and out.

Route the connector end of the main power harness through the hole in the dash down to the passenger side foot area, pulling enough to route it to the rear of the vehicle.

Remove all of the screws at the bottom of the center console on the passenger side. Moving the passenger seat can help get the screws in between the center console and the seat.

Remove all of the screws and rivets at the bottom of the center console on the passenger side of the rear for 4 seater applications.

Flip the bottoms of the seats over to remove all of the screws securing the panel under the seats and remove the panel.

You can tuck the wire in at the front passenger foot area while leaving the connector end free near this hole.

Use the shown area to pass the connector through the frame, while lifting the center console. Route and zip tie the wire underneath the frame as shown, and tuck the wire under the rear center console if applicable.

Next, locate the ignition sensor harness and remove the gold screw.

Install the ignition sensor onto the positive ignition coil wire placing it about 1” away from the connector. Make sure that the top clip piece touches the bottom clip piece on the inside. Use zip ties on each side of the connector to ensure it does not slide up or down the wire during use.

Route the connector end of the ignition sensor harness underneath the airbox and zip tie it to the bar on the other side as shown.

Locate the Y connector harness and familiarize yourself with it using the picture for this step. One side will have a single connector that connects to the scavenge fan from the PS. The other end has two connectors: one square 4 pin connector that connects to the ignition sensor, and one flat 3 pin connector that connects to the main power harness.

Connect the single 3 pin connector on the single connector end of the Y harness into the connector from the scavenge fan coming from the main Particle Separator unit. It should go over the tube.

Plug the square 4 pin connector on the Y harness into the connector on the ignition sensor that you pulled through the frame earlier.

Connect the main power harness to the remaining connector on the y splitter harness.

Plug the main power harness into the pulse bar in the dash.

To ensure that everything is installed correctly and there are no problems with any part of the electrical system, we need to run a test to verify the function of the whisper quiet fan technology system. If your particle behaves as these tests describe, the electrical system is functioning correctly. If the separator does not act as described, please watch our electrical system troubleshooting video to determine the cause of the misbehavior before moving on.

1. Turn the ignition to the key on position. The fans on the particle separator should be at 20% speed and should barely be audible.

2. Turn the ignition on. The fans should be at 50% speed and barely be audible over the engine idle noise.

3. Rev the engine to a constant 3000 rpm for 5 seconds and then take your foot off of the gas. The fans should build to and stay at max speed during the 5 seconds, and decelerate back to 50% speed 2 seconds after you let your foot off of the gas.

Ensure the wires are taught and not hanging loosely anywhere, bundling and zip tying the wires to the frame as pictured.

Reinstall the panels underneath the seats.

Reinstall the back panel.

Fasten the bottom of the center console in the front and rear if applicable.

Reinstall the rear driver side pane by putting in the area near the door first and then fastening the screws/rivets.

Reinstall the bed by putting the back prongs into place and then fastening the screws.

Reinstall the seat backs by clipping them in with the bottom prongs in their respective holes.

S&B recommends that you apply a layer of waterproof grease, such as made by Bel-Ray or Super Lube, on the inside flange of the stock air filter to keep dust from bypassing the seal.

Your Particle Separator requires very little if any maintenance depending on where you drive; however, you should check to make sure that none of the openings in front of the Particle Separators are blocked by mud or other debris each time you exit the UTV. You should also make sure the scavenge fan is operating properly. To do so, simply check to make sure the fan is still blowing out air (for about 15-20 seconds) when you turn off your UTV as this is a normal condition. If the fan is not blowing out air or the airflow seems lower than when you initially installed your system, please contact S&B tech support. To clean your Particle Separator, review the cleaning instructions below.
