GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following
guidelines should be observed AT ALL TIMES:
▲ Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking
brakes and always block the wheels. Always wear
personal protection equipment.
▲ Stop the engine and remove the ignition key when
working under or around the vehicle. When working
in the engine compartment, the engine should be shut
off and the ignition key should be removed. Where
circumstances require that the engine be in operation,
EXTREME CAUTION should be used to prevent personal
injury resulting from contact with moving, rotating,
leaking, heated or electrically-charged components.
▲ Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or
assemble a component until you have read, and
thoroughly understand, the recommended procedures.
Use only the proper tools and observe all precautions
pertaining to use of those tools.
▲ If the work is being performed on the vehicle's air brake
system, or any auxiliary pressurized air systems, make
certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs
before beginning ANY work on the vehicle. If the vehicle
is equipped with a Bendix
Bendix
DRM
dryer reservoir module, or a Bendix
®
™
AD-9si
air dryer, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
™
▲ Following the vehicle manufacturer's recommended
procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a manner
that safely removes all electrical power from the vehicle.
▲ Never exceed manufacturer's recommended pressures.
▲ Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing
pressure; it may whip. Never remove a component or
plug unless you are certain all system pressure has
been depleted.
▲ Use only genuine Bendix
components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing,
hose, fi ttings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type
and strength as original equipment and be designed
specifi cally for such applications and systems.
▲ Components with stripped threads or damaged parts
should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not
attempt repairs requiring machining or welding unless
specifi cally stated and approved by the vehicle and
component manufacturer.
▲ Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all
components and systems are restored to their proper
operating condition.
▲ For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle
maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive axle
are lifted off the ground and moving.
▲ The power MUST be temporarily disconnected
from the radar sensor whenever any tests USING A
DYNAMOMETER are conducted on a Bendix
Advanced
-equipped vehicle.
™
▲ You should consult the vehicle manufacturer's
operating and service manuals, and any related
literature, in conjunction with the Guidelines above.

KIT DESCRIPTION
This kit is intended for installing the Bendix EverFlow air
dryer assembly.
OPERATION OF THE BENDIX
AIR DRYER ASSEMBLY
The Bendix EverFlow air dryer assembly consists of two
integral soft seat purge dryers, Bendix EverFlow module,
mounting bracket and interconnecting hoses. By properly
connecting the inlet, outlet, and electrical service, the unit
provides dry air for bulk unloading, central tire inflation or
high air usage.
The assembly monitors compressor charge time and when
the charge time exceeds 30 seconds, the EverFlow control
module switches the drying load to the other air dryer in
the system. The module continues to alternate between
the dryers at 30 second intervals, allowing the unloaded
®
air dryer to purge while the other dries the incoming air.
MOUNTING THE EVERFLOW AIR DRYER
ASSEMBLY
If an air dryer is installed on the vehicle, disconnect all air
lines and electrical connectors and remove the air dryer
from the vehicle.
If the air dryer has a Bendix
mounted on top of the cartridge and/or a PuraGuard
identifier on the side of the cartridge, then the EverFlow air
dryer assembly is equipped with a Bendix PuraGuard
coalescing cartridge. When servicing a PuraGuard
air dryer, a PuraGuard cartridge must be used. Note:
Replacing a PuraGuard cartridge with a standard cartridge
may damage downstream components that are sensitive
to oil.
LOCATING THE EVERFLOW AIR DRYER ASSEMBLY
ON THE VEHICLE
1. The EverFlow assembly must be mounted vertically
(purge exhaust toward the road surface) towards the
outside the engine compartment in an area of air flow
while the vehicle is in motion. The assembly must not
be exposed to direct wheel splash. If the air dryer is
located directly behind the axle, a mud flap is required.
2. Maintain a minimum clearance of 12" between the
assembly and any potential heat source (e.g., vehicle
®
exhaust). If this is not feasible, a heat shield must be
used.
