2.Connect the supply and control lines to the Trailer System-Guardair dryer making sure to keep the control and supply circuits separate as shown. Do not switch lines end to end. All ports are identified as indicated in figures 1 and 2.

3.Affix the Alcohol Warning Decal to the trailer bulkhead. Before applying the decal remove all oil and road contaminants from the mounting location with a good cleaning solvent.

OPERATIONAL TEST

Build the air system to governor cutout. Shut off the engine. Using a soap solution, check all lines and fittings leading to and from the Trailer System-Guardair dryer for leakage and integrity. Repair any excessive leaks - exceeding a 1" bubble in 5 seconds - before restoring vehicle to service.
