Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter CF 1720 - Secondary Air Filter Element – For Trucks, Buses and Utility Vehicles

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter CF 1720 is a secondary air filter element engineered for heavy‑duty vehicles such as trucks, buses and utility vehicles. Designed to complement the primary air filter system, it provides an additional layer of protection against contaminants that may bypass the main filter. The CF 1720 is available in a 172 mm diameter, making it compatible with a wide range of chassis and engine configurations.

Key Design Features

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: The CF 1720 employs a multi‑layer media structure that captures fine particulates, ensuring cleaner air reaches the combustion chamber.
• Durable Construction: Constructed from robust, weather‑resistant materials, the filter withstands harsh operating environments and extended service intervals.
• Easy Installation: The element’s standardized dimensions and mounting design allow for quick replacement without the need for specialized tools.
• Compatibility: Suitable for a broad spectrum of commercial vehicles, including Scania, Daimler, and other major manufacturers.
• Low Pressure Drop: Maintains optimal airflow, reducing engine load and preserving fuel efficiency.

Performance Benefits

By integrating the CF 1720 into a vehicle’s air intake system, operators can expect:

• Enhanced Engine Longevity: Cleaner air reduces wear on pistons, valves, and other internal components.
• Improved Fuel Economy: Efficient airflow supports optimal combustion, leading to better mileage.
• Reduced Emissions: A cleaner air supply contributes to lower exhaust pollutant levels, aiding compliance with environmental regulations.
• Extended Service Life: The secondary filter captures particles that might otherwise accumulate in the primary filter, allowing it to operate longer between changes.

Installation Guidelines

1. Power Off: Ensure the vehicle’s engine is turned off and cooled before beginning work.
2. Access the Filter Housing: Remove any covers or panels that obstruct access to the secondary filter compartment.
3. Remove the Old Element: Carefully detach the existing CF 1720, noting any orientation or mounting details.
4. Install the New Element: Place the new CF 1720 into the housing, aligning it with the mounting points and securing it as per manufacturer instructions.
5. Reassemble: Replace any panels or covers removed during the process.
6. Verify Functionality: Start the engine and check for proper airflow and absence of leaks.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter for visible dirt or damage during routine maintenance intervals.
• Clean Surrounding Areas: Keep the filter housing free of debris to prevent contamination.
• Follow Manufacturer Schedules: Adhere to the recommended replacement cycle based on operating conditions and mileage.
• Use Genuine Parts: Employ only MANN‑FILTER components to maintain performance standards.

Compatibility Summary

The CF 1720 is engineered to fit a variety of commercial vehicle models. Common applications include:

• Scania trucks and buses (e.g., models from 2004–2019)
• Daimler and Mercedes‑Benz commercial vehicles
• Other heavy‑duty chassis that require a 172 mm secondary filter element

Conclusion

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter CF 1720 delivers reliable, high‑performance filtration for secondary air intake systems in trucks, buses, and utility vehicles. Its robust construction, efficient airflow characteristics, and ease of installation make it a preferred choice for fleet operators seeking to protect engine health, improve fuel efficiency, and maintain compliance with emission standards.
