4.Insert one of the perforated plates into the cartridge, cloth side up, and tap it firmly to the bottom. (Cloth always faces desiccant material.) (See Figure 8)

5.Slide oil separator filter over the cartridge bolt with the gasket surface next to the shell. (See Figure 9)

6.Install the bolt with the oil separator into the bottom of the shell and through center hole of the perforated plate in the bottom of the shell. (See Figure 10)

7.Pour the entire package of desiccant material into the shell, making sure none is lost. Handle carefully so that the bolt does not fall out. (See Figure 11)

8.Level the desiccant material and install second perforated plate cloth side down. (Make sure the shoulder of the bolt is centered, and extends slightly above the top of the perforated plate.) (See Figure 12) NOTE: If the shoulder of the bolt does not extend above the perforated plate tap the side of the desiccant container.

9.Set the conical spring on top of the perforated plate (large diameter down - small diameter up.)

10.Place the spring retainer on top of the spring (See Figure 13)

11.Install the previously rebuilt desiccant sealing plate on the cartridge bolt so that the ball check retaining clip is in view.

12.Using the lock nut draw the assembly together to approximately half of the spring’s free height. While slowly turning the cartridge, tap the side of the shell with a plastic mallet (See Figure 14). This allows the desiccant material to settle properly into place. Continue to tighten the nut, making sure all items are properly aligned. Tighten nut firmly using an 11/16" socket or box wrench. (See Figures 15-1, 15-2)
