4. Insert one of the perforated plates into the cartridge,
cloth side up, and tap it firmly to the bottom. (Cloth
always faces desiccant material.) (See Figure 8)
5. Slide oil separator filter 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 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 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 desiccant
container.
9. Set the conical spring on top of the perforated plate
(large diameter down - small diameter up.)
10. Place the spring retainer on top of the spring (See Figure
13)
11. Install the previously rebuilt desiccant sealing plate on
the cartridge bolt so that the ball check retaining clip is
in view.
12. Using the lock nut draw the assembly together to
approximately half of the spring’s free height. While
slowly turning the cartridge, tap the side of the shell
with a plastic mallet (See Figure 14). This allows the
desiccant material to settle properly into place. Continue
to tighten the nut, making sure all items are properly
aligned. Tighten nut firmly using an 11/16" socket or
box wrench. (See Figures 15-1, 15-2)
