User manual BENDIX PURAGUARD QC SYSTEM FILTER

[. . . ] The PuraGuard QCTM oil coalescing filter will remove the liquid or aerosol alcohol introduced, defeating the purpose of the evaporator/injector and requiring the sump to be drained more often than normal. 4. Perform the Operation & Leakage Tests listed in this publication. Every 3, 600 operating hours, 100, 000 miles or one (1) year: 1. With the air system pressure at 0 p. s. i. , drain collected contaminants for disposal. [. . . ] 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 an AD-ISTM air dryer system or a dryer reservoir module, 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 ® replacement parts, components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type and strength as original equipment and be designed specifically 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 REPLACING OR RETROFITTING THE PURAGUARD QCTM OIL COALESCING FILTER General The following retrofit instructions are presented for reference purposes only since Bendix aftermarket retrofit and replacement PuraGuard QCTM filter systems are packaged with the most up-to-date installation instructions. The instructions packaged with the filter should be followed in lieu of those presented here. ASSEMBLY 1. The top of the system filter has an arrow symbol showing the air flow direction (see figure 1). Secure the mounting bracket to the body and spin-on cartridge. RETROFIT: LOCATING THE PURAGUARD QCTM FILTER ON THE VEHICLE 1. The PuraGuard QCTM filter must be mounted vertically (±5°) and must not be exposed to direct wheel splash (located behind axle mud flap is acceptable). Locate it as close to the first (supply) reservoir as possible and upstream of the supply reservoir (see figure 3). To minimize vibration, mount the PuraGuard QCTM filter on a frame rail. If the vehicle requires the filter to be directly mounted to the reservoir, be sure to only use a high strength nipple fitting. (See further notes under Connecting the Air Hoses. ) 3 4. Do not locate the PuraGuard QCTM filter near heat producing components such as the vehicle exhaust and provide adequate clearance from moving components e. g. drive shaft, suspension, pitman arm, etc. Locate the PuraGuard QCTM filter on the vehicle so that a minimum of 12 inches of clearance is available horizontally (90° minimum arc) to allow servicing. [. . . ] Note: Check that the hose attachment agrees with the air flow arrow symbol (see Figure 1). OPERATIONAL TEST Build the air system to governor cutout. Using a soap solution, check all hoses and fittings leading to and from the PuraGuard QCTM filter for leakage and integrity. Repair any excessive leaks - exceeding a 1 inch bubble in 5 seconds - before restoring vehicle to service. OPERATIONAL TEST Build the air system to governor cutout.
