BENDIX SD-08-2415A manual Vehicle Preparation, Locating the Bendix AD-RPAIR Dryer on Vehicle

Page 12

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 psi (0kPa).

LOCATING THE BENDIX® AD-RP™AIR DRYER ON VEHICLE

1.The Bendix® AD-RP™air dryer must be mounted vertically (purge exhaust port toward road surface) outside the engine compartment in an area of air fl ow while the vehicle is in motion. The AD-RP air dryer must not be exposed to direct wheel splash (note: locating behind an axle mud fl ap is acceptable).

2.Locate the AD-RP air dryer as close to the fi rst (supply) reservoir as possible.

3.Do not locate the AD-RP air dryer near heat producing components such as the vehicle exhaust, and make certain adequate clearance from moving components (e.g. drive shaft, suspension, pitman arm, etc.) is provided.

4.Locate the Bendix AD-RP air dryer on the vehicle so that a minimum of one (1) inch clearance above the cartridge is available to allow cartridge servicing. Additionally, provide access to the bracket bolts so the unit may be removed when necessary.

5.When choosing the mounting location for the AD-RP dryer, note the discharge line length requirements stated under the heading Connecting the Air Lines, elsewhere in this manual.

Note: Under normal operating conditions, the maximum inlet air temperature for the AD-RP dryer is 160° F.

MOUNTING THE BENDIX AD-RP AIR DRYER

1.Install the AD-RP air dryer by referring to Figure 7 and drilling the triangular mounting hole pattern in a mounting plate and then mounting the plate on the vehicle, or by drilling the mounting hole pattern in the area of the vehicle chosen for mounting. Note: Check the vehicle manual before drilling a frame member.

2.Important: The length of the three mounting bolts used to attach the AD-RP air dryer to the mounting plate is very important. Refer to Figure 8. The threaded end of the 1/2"-13 UNC bolt must be between 1/8" below, to 1/4" above, the surface of the AD-RP dryer mounting bracket surface when fully installed and tightened to 50 lb-ft. Damage to the dryer body will result if the bolt warning is ignored. Measure the thickness of all materials that the three mounting bolts must pass through. Small adjustments can be made using fl at washers under the bolt heads. Do not use more than three (3) fl at washers.

3.Mount the AD-RP air dryer on the vehicle using three 1/2" bolts (grade 5 min.) of the proper length and washers. Torque to 50 lb-ft.

CONNECTING THE AIR LINES

Important General Instructions

These instructions apply to all installations of the AD-RP dryer regardless of whether the unit is replacing an existing air dryer, or is being installed on a vehicle that never had one installed. If the vehicle is currently equipped with an air dryer some additional considerations apply.

A.If the AD-RP air dryer is replacing an integral purge air dryer — such as the Bendix® AD-9®air dryer — on a vehicle equipped with any compressor except the Cummins-Holset type E & QE, all that is necessary is that the air dryer be removed and the existing air lines be correctly connected to the AD-RP dryer. An additional purge volume (minimum 200 cubic inches) must also be installed and connected to the AD-RP Remote Purge Port. The extended Purge Volume Kit 5008972 can be used.

B.If the AD-RP air dryer is replacing an integral purge air dryer — such as the Bendix® AD-4™or AD-9 air dryer — on a vehicle equipped with a Cummins-Holset type E or QE compressor, in addition to removing the existing air dryer and correctly connecting the existing air lines to the AD-RP dryer, it will be necessary to remove and discard the Holset ECON and special orifi ce check valve.
