User manual BENDIX PURAGUARD SYSTEM FILTER

[. . . ] Note: The PuraGuard ® system filter is not recommended to be used in conjunction with an alcohol evaporator or injector. The PuraGuard ® system filter will remove the liquid or aerosol alcohol introduced, defeat the purpose of the evaporator/injector and require the sump to be drained more often than normal. 2. Visually check for physical damage to the PuraGuard ® system filter such as chaffed or broken air hoses and broken or missing parts. Re-torque to vehicle manufacturers guidelines. [. . . ] 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 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 unless specifically stated and approved by the vehicle and component manufacturer. ALL PARTS SHOWN ARE INCLUDED IN RETROFIT KIT FIGURE 8 - RETROFIT KIT 4 ASSEMBLY 1. Coat the drain valve threads with a liquid pipe thread sealant. Install the drain valve using two wrenches one at the base of the PuraGuard ® system filter and one on the drain valve, using a maximum final torque of 130-170 in. The threaded top of the sump housing is pre-installed into the head of the PuraGuard ® system filter. Check that this connection is fully hand-tight before proceeding with the installation. The head cover of the PuraGuard ® system filter has an arrow symbol showing the direction that the air must be supplied into the head (see Figure 1). Align the PuraGuard® system filter correctly (the label may not be facing outwards) and then insert the four bolts through the mounting bracket holes into the PuraGuard® system filter head. lbs. ELBOW 1/2 NPT HEX NIPPLE FIGURE 9 - ELBOW FITTING IF NEEDED 7. To permit draining of collected contaminants, at least a 6 inch clearance below the PuraGuard ® system filter is recommended. Nominal clearance above is required. RETROFIT: LOCATING THE PURAGUARD® SYSTEM FILTER ON THE VEHICLE 1. The PuraGuard ® system filter must be mounted vertically (±5° ) and must not be exposed to direct wheel splash (located behind axle mud flap is acceptable). [. . . ] See Figures 2 and 3 for correct installation. B. The PuraGuard® system filter is not recommended to be used in conjunction with an alcohol evaporator or injector. [The PuraGuard ® system filter will remove the liquid or aerosol alcohol introduced, defeat the purpose of the evaporator/injector and require the sump to be drained more often than usual. ] C.
