a socket. Torque to 200-250 in lbs (23-28, Nm).
(4) Install the desiccant O-ring (29) in its groove in the end cover. Using a light coat of barium grease
(Item 51, Appendix E), lubricate the bottom of the desiccant cartridge in the area that will contact the
O-ring (29) and end cover (32). Screw the desiccant cartridge into the end cover until contact is made
between it and the O-ring. Using a strap to chain wrench positioned 2-3" (51-76 mm) from the bottom
of the cartridge, turn the desiccant cartridge clockwise 180-225 degrees beyond the position where
initial contact was made between the cartridge and end cover O-ring. Torque should not exceed 50 ft
lbs (68 Nm).

e
(25) over the desiccant cartridge and align the holes. Install the six cap screws (22), lock nuts (23) and
twelve special washers (24), making certain they are in the proper position as marked during
disassembly. The two longer cap screws (3) will be used to secure the air dryer to its mounting bracket.
Tighten the six cap screws and nuts in a star pattern depending on lower bracket location. Torque to
270-385 in lbs (31-43 Nm).
NOTE
The two remaining bolt holes in the end cover and two cap
screws MUST be the ones marked during disassembly to assure
proper orientation of the ports and adequate length of the cap
screws.
