2.Drill the three marked mounting holes into the frame rail using a 5/8" diameter drill.

3.By hand, install the studs into the three corresponding holes on the air dryer. To tighten attach vise grips to the studs within 1" of the air dryer and turn 1/4 to 1/2 turns. Thread damage on the stud in the area near the air dryer is acceptable. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the last 1-1/2 inches of the stud at the end opposite the air dryer end cover.

4.Place a rubber grommet with the flat side toward the air dryer over each of the installed studs.

5.Align and insert the air dryer mounting studs with grommets into the 3 mounting holes on the vehicle frame rail. The raised portion or shoulder of the grommets must fit into the mounting holes drilled into the frame rail.

6.Install the remaining grommets on each of the mounting studs with the raised portion or shoulder toward the frame rail. Ensure the shoulder fits into the frame rail mounting hole.

7.Using the flat washer and locknut secure the air dryer. Tighten the locknuts using a 9/16" wrench turn until the locknut, washer and outside grommet just make contact (no actual compression of the rubber grommet) then turn two(2) more turns.

CONNECTING THE AIR HOSES

Follow Figure 4 for air hose arrangement.

1.The Trailer System-Guardair dryer supply and control line fittings are 1/4"-18 NPT. Cut the supply and control lines and install 1/4 inch fittings.
