WARNING!
Ensure that the dryer is de-energized, valve isolated,
and fully depressurized before attempting to remove
or disassemble any dryer component or subassem-
bly. Failure to do so may result in serious personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
Note: Removal of valve body [21] from the dryer manifold
is not required unless replacement of O-rings [23] or valve
body is necessary.
1. Clean and inspect all valve hardware upon disassem-
bly. Replace all software and any hardware which
appears damaged or abnormally worn.

body [21]. As previously noted, this can be accom-
plished without removing the valve body [9] from the
dryer manifold.

[6], [8], [12], [14] and [23] before reassembly.
