DESICCANT CARTRIDGE DISASSEMBLY
1. Carefully remove and discard the lock nut on top of the
desiccant sealing plate. (The plate is spring loaded; see
the "Caution" note in "Removal of Desiccant Cartridge"
section.)
2. Remove the desiccant sealing plate and rebuild it
as outlined under the Removing and Rebuilding the
Desiccant Sealing Plate section of this manual.
3. Remove and retain the spring, spring seat, bolt, and
cartridge shell. Discard the oil separator fi lter and two
perforated plates. Discard the desiccant material as a
solid waste according to local laws and regulations.
4. Insert one of the perforated plates into the cartridge,
cloth side up, and tap it fi rmly to the bottom. (The cloth
always faces desiccant material.) (See Figure 8.)
5. Slide the oil separator fi lter over the cartridge bolt with
the gasket surface next to the shell. (See Figure 9.)
6. Install the bolt with the oil separator into the bottom of
the shell and through the center hole of the perforated
plate in the bottom of the shell. (See Figure 10.)
7. Pour the entire package of desiccant material into the
shell, making sure none is lost. Handle carefully so
that the bolt does not fall out. (See Figure 11.)
8. Level the desiccant material and install the second
perforated plate cloth side down. Make sure the
shoulder of the bolt is centered, and extends slightly
above the top of the perforated plate. (See Figure 12.)
NOTE: If the shoulder of the bolt does not extend
above the perforated plate, tap the side of the desic cant
container.
9. Set the conical spring on top of the perforated plate
(large diameter down - small diameter up.)
