Caution! You should properly dispose of any discarded desiccant.

Consult local disposal regulations for more information.

Inspect each lower desiccant screen for tears or holes where desiccant burned-through. Replace as needed.

After cleaning each chamber, add a level layer of half the 8 x 12 bead desiccant on top of the screen. Next, carefully add the full amount of bead desiccant specified per bed. Amounts are listed in the Desiccant Amounts Table below. Smooth the top level, and finally add another layer of the remaining bead desiccant to the top. Make sure this layer is level and smooth.

Repeat the previous step for the other bed.

Inspect the gaskets on the valve assembly. Replace if necessary. Re-install the valve and reconnect actuator wiring.
