Preventative Maintenance – as easy as 1-2-3

Adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule is crucial to keeping a vehicle’s air system clean and ensuring superior performance of all components that utilize system air – such as brakes, emissions equipment and automated manual transmissions. Depending on vocation, Bendix recommends a 1, 2, or 3 year air dryer cartridge replacement on vehicles equipped with a Bendix compressor.

for severe service applications, such as residential refuse

1 trucks or school buses, the air dryer cartridge should be replaced every year or 100,000 miles;

for pick-up and delivery operations, or for double- and

2 triple-trailer line haul trucks, every two years or 200,000 miles is the recommendation; and

3 line-haul operations using a single trailer should swap the filter out every 3 years or 300,000 miles.

More frequent intervals may be required depending on a vehicle’s age, its compressor condition, use of a non-Bendix compressor, the operating environment, the vehicle’s vocation, and its usage. In conjunction with these guidelines, fleets can determine the functionality of their filters by checking for moisture in the air brake system monthly. If moisture is present, the air dryer cartridge may require replacement. Reference the Bendix Service Data Sheet of the specific air dryer for additional information. (Recommended intervals for trucks equipped with non-Bendix compressors are 6 months (50,000 miles), 1 year (100,000 miles), and 2 years (200,000 miles), respectively). IMPORTANT! When servicing, note that standard AD-RP air dryers or air dryer cartridges may be serviced with PuraGuard oil coalescing air dryers or cartridges, however, PuraGuard oil coalescing air dryers or cartridges MUST only be serviced with like replacements.
