CLEANING & INSPECTION
1. Use a suitable solvent to clean all metal parts, and use
a cotton swab to clean the bore (Note: Do not use
abrasives or tools to clean the bore: any scratches
®
caused may necessitate replacing the AD-IS
air dryer
and reservoir system.) Superficial external corrosion
and/or pitting is acceptable.
2. Clean the o-rings with a clean dry cloth. Do not use
solvents.
3. Inspect for physical damage to the bore and the check
valve seat. If the bore is damaged (by scratches etc.
that would prevent delivery check valve from seating),
®
replace the AD-IS
air dryer.
4. Inspect the delivery check valve, o-rings, etc. for wear or
damage. Replace if necessary using the check valve
replacement kit available at authorized Bendix parts
outlets.
5. Inspect all air line fittings for corrosion and replace as
necessary.
ASSEMBLY
1. Lubricate the smaller o-ring and check valve body with
Bendix supplied barium or silicon grease.
2. Install this o-ring on the check valve body by sliding the
o-ring over the set of 4 tapered guide lands. The
o-ring groove holds the o-ring in its correct location.
3. At the other end of the check valve body, the spring is
installed over the set of 4 straight guide lands. When
the spring has been pushed to the correct location, the
check valve body is designed to hold the end of the spring
in position - be sure that the spring is not loose before
continuing with this installation.
4. Install the assembled check valve body/o-ring/spring in
the delivery port so that the o-ring rests on its seat and
the free end of the spring is visible.
5. Grease the adapter and the remaining larger o-ring and
install it onto the fitting.
6. Position the Bendix supplied gasket, then insert the
governor mounting bolts through the governor and tighten
(to 125 in-lbs). (Note: Do not replace with a standard
compressor/governor gasket.)
7. Reattach line to the governor.
8. Before placing vehicle back into service, check to see
that the system pressure now builds to full operational
pressure.
