FIGURE 10 - BENDIX® AD-IP®AIR DRYER CABLE BRACKET INSTALLATION

There are two types of upper mounting brackets; saddle type (shown in Figure 8), and cable type (shown in Figure 10). Refer to the appropriate figure for the type of air dryer being serviced.

6.Saddle Bracket: Mark the relationship of the saddle bracket (5) to the end cover assembly (6). Remove the 5/16” cap screw (1) and sleeve nut (3) securing the upper mounting strap (4) to the saddle bracket (5). Earlier models used a washer and nut in place of the sleeve nut (3). Remove the upper mounting strap (4) from the end cover assembly (6). Refer to Figure 8.

Cable Bracket: Mark the relationship of the upper bracket (31) to the air dryer end cover (6). Remove the locknut (34) and washer (35) from the cable assembly. Remove the cable assembly (32) from the upper bracket. Remove the upper bracket (31) and isolators (33).

The following disassembly and assembly procedure is presented for reference purposes and presupposes that a major rebuild of the Bendix® AD-IP®air dryer is being undertaken. The replacement parts and maintenance kits available generally do not require full disassembly. The instructions provided with these parts and kits should be followed in lieu of the instructions presented here. Refer to Figures 8 and 9 during disassembly.

While performing service on the AD-IP air dryer, it is recommended that a clamping device (vise, C-clamp, etc.) not be used to hold any die cast aluminum component as damage may result. To hold the end cover, install a pipe nipple in the supply port and clamp the nipple into a vise.

1.Using an adjustable, or socket wrench, loosen the desiccant cartridge bolt (10), then separate the desiccant cartridge (11) from the end cover (6). Pull the desiccant cartridge bolt out of the end cover (6).
