REBUILDING THE AD-2™AIR DRYER END COVER

ASSEMBLY

To remove the end cover assembly from the air dryer follow steps 1-6 under the section of this manual entitled Removal of Desiccant Cartridge AD-1™and AD-2™Air Dryer. Before rebuilding the end cover, clean the exterior thoroughly using a quality commercial solvent.

DISASSEMBLY

1.Remove and discard the large o-ring around the end cover assembly.

2.Remove the single #6-32 screw securing the exhaust diaphragm and separate the diaphragm, washer and screw. Discard the diaphragm.

3.Remove the three #6-32 screws securing the exhaust cover and remove the exhaust cover.

4.Remove the purge valve assembly, the large hex cap nut, from the end cover and discard both o-rings around the cap nut.

5.Using a 7/16" socket wrench and a large screwdriver, remove the 1/4"-20 hex head cap screw which holds the assembly together.

6.Separate cap screw, purge valve, purge valve piston and the piston return spring.

7.Discard the piston o-ring, the purge valve, and the piston return spring.

8.Wash all remaining parts in a commercial solvent, making sure all surfaces, bores, ports, and passages are clean and dry before assembly.

NOTE: If during the serviceability checks it was determined that the thermostat was defective, use the following procedure. It is not necessary to replace this unit each time the end cover is rebuilt. Use thermostat kit. (See Figure 17)

9.Remove nut(2), then lockwasher(3), plain washer(4) and o-ring(5). Discard o-ring and retain other parts.

10.Remove and retain four Phillips head screws(7) and cover(6).

11.Remove and discard gasket(10).

12.Remove and retain spacer(11).

13.Cut uninsulated thermostat wire at Point B. (Figure 17), remove and discard thermostat and terminal assembly(1).

14.Clean remaining wire attached to heater terminal.

15.Clean thermostat “pocket” in end cover(9).

ASSEMBLY

16.Cut uninsulated lead of new thermostat(1) at Point A (Figure 17).

17.Install thermostat in end cover “pocket” and position uninsulated leads next to each other.

18.Using a soldering heat sink, clamp uninsula-leads at Point B and solder leads with straight rosin core solder. DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER. Clean excess solder off end cover.

19.Install thermostat terminal(1) in cover(6).

20.Install o-ring(5), washer(4), lockwasher(3) and nut(2). Torque nut to 20-30 inch pounds.

21.Install spacer(11) over thermostat(1).

22.Install gasket(7) and cover(6) and secure cover to end cover(9) using screws(7) and lockwashers(8).

23.Torque to 30-40 inch pounds.

24.Test thermostat as follows:

A.At a temperature above 85°F. check resistance between thermostat terminal(1) and end cover(9). Resistance should be 200,000 ohms or greater; if not, check for solder “path” short.

B.Chill entire end cover assembly to 35°F. or below and check resistance again. Resistance should be 2-15 ohms.

25.Lubricate the piston o-ring and install it on the piston.

26.Lubricate the piston bore.

27.Install the purge piston return spring and piston.

28.Install the purge valve in the large cap nut so that the rubber portion rests on the metal seat of the cap nut.

29.Secure the valve to the piston using the 1/4"-20 cap screw and lockwasher and torque to 50 inch pounds.

30.Lubricate and install the two cap nut o-rings.
