WARNING
When working on air system components the following precautions should be observed.
1. Stop engine when working under a vehicle. Always block the vehicle wheels to
prevent a fore or aft roll. Bleeding off system pressure may cause the vehicle to roll.
Keep hands away from brake chamber push rods and slack adjusters; they may apply as
system pressure drops.
2. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing air pressure. It may whip as air
escapes. Never remove a component or a pipe plug unless you are certain all system air
pressure has been exhausted.
3. Never exceed recommended working air pressure and always wear safety glasses
when working with air pressure. Never look directly into component ports or direct a
pressurized air flow at anyone.
4. Never attempt to disassemble a component until you have read and understood all
recommended procedures. Some components contain powerful springs and injury can
result if not properly disassembled. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions
pertaining to the use of those tools.
LOCATION OF THE PURE AIR PLUS UNIT
ON THE VEHICLE - (CONT'D)
4. The Pure Air Plus Air Dryer requires minimal clearance for service. Allow a
minimum of one inch above for desiccant cartridge service and two inches below
should the heater or purge valve need to be serviced.
5. It is best to install the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer below the level of the compressor so
that the discharge line from the compressor can slope down to the Air Dryer inlet,
avoiding sags or traps in the line. If possible, the Air Dryer should be located above
the level of the wet tank.
MOUNTING THE PURE AIR PLUS AIR DRYER
1. Using the template included with this installation booklet, determine
mounting bolt location.
2. Determine whether the inlet needs to face left or right.
3. Fasten the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer mounting bracket to the vehicle using 3/8
diameter bolts, grade 5 or better, and tighten to 30 ft. lbs.
4. Assemble the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer to the
mounting bracket using the 3/8 diameter bolt and
3/8 diameter lock washer provided and torque to
20-25 ft. lbs. Feed clamp band through opening
in mounting bracket and wrap around dryer base
to make connection. Insert "T" bolt through the
trunnion and tighten lock nut (provided) to 50 in. lbs.
CONNECTING THE AIR LINES
1. Using appropriate fittings install line from discharge of compressor to inlet of Pure
Air Plus Air Dryer. Avoid any loops, sags, or sharp bends which may form water
traps. Discharge line must be minimum 1/2" I.D. (#10), and at least the first four feet
of line from the compressor must be metal tubing or stainless steel-braided Teflon line.
2. Install an air line of approximately the same I.D. as the compressor discharge line
from the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer outlet to the first (supply) reservoir. This line should
also slope downward, if possible.
3. Connect a line from an unused unloader port on the governor to the 1/8 NPT
control port on the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer. This line should slope downward avoiding
potential water traps. Recommend 1/4" or 3/8" nylon tubing, or reinforced hose with
no larger than 5/16" I.D.
4. If desired, a one-inch I.D. line may be connected to the purge cover to direct
discharge away from the vehicle.
1. The Pure Air Plus Air Dryer must be mounted vertically with the purge exhaust toward the
road surface. The preferred mounting location is outside the engine compartment in an area
of air flow while the vehicle is in motion.
2. Do not mount the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer near any heat producing source such as vehicle
exhaust.
3. The discharge line length for a normal installation shall be between eight (8) and sixteen
(16) feet. Note: The length of the discharge line has a direct bearing on the performance of
the Air Dryer. The longer the discharge line, the cooler the air will be as it enters the Air Dryer
which improves drying performance. Excessive line length may result in airline freeze-up in
cold weather, which could restrict or possibly prevent air from flowing to the dryer. The
maximum inlet air temperature for the Pure Air Plus Air Dryer is 160
°
F. Any
temperatures above 160
°
F entering the dryer will cause diminished performance
and may cause internal damage to the dryer.
