CONNECTING THE AIR HOSES
Follow either Figure 4 or 5 for air hose arrangement.
1. The PuraGuard
® system filter supply and delivery ports
are 1/2-14 NPT. Install minimum 1/2 inch inside diameter
air hoses. When installing an elbow fitting use the fitting
arrangement shown in Figure 9, using a high strength
nipple and then an elbow fitting.
2. Hoses must be installed without tight turns that might
cause air flow restrictions. Note: Check that the hose
attachment agrees with the air flow arrow symbol (see
Figure 1). The label may not be facing forward when
installation is complete.
OPERATIONAL TEST
Build the air system to governor cutout. Shut off the engine.
Using a soap solution, check all hoses and fittings leading
to and from the PuraGuard
® system filter for leakage and
integrity. Repair any excessive leaks - exceeding a 1”
bubble in 5 seconds - before restoring vehicle to service.
MAINTENANCE KIT INSTALLATION

VEHICLE PREPARATION
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and prevent movement
by means other than the brakes.
2. Drain all reservoirs to 0 p.s.i.
3. Drain the contents of the sump into a suitable container
for disposal and then re-close the drain valve.
4. Using detergent and water, clean the exterior of the
PuraGuard ® system filter of road grime etc.
DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING (see Figure 11)

filter. If necessary, use a strap wrench to assist this
process.
2. Remove and discard the filter and o-ring.
If only installing the maintenance kit, go to Inspection
section below.
3. Using long-nose pliers, carefully remove and discard
the spring and spring locator inside the sump housing.
4. Using detergent and water or other suitable solvent, clean
inside the sump housing.

4. Insert the replacement filter (guide lands uppermost)
into the sump with its base resting on the spring.
