(e)
Then, tighten the nut an additional one turn
past the ring grip point.
(f)
Unscrew nut and remove the tubing from
the mating fitting, or presetting tool. Inspect
the preset as described in Figure 6-1.
(g)
When installing a preset tubing assembly,
lubricate the threads and seat of the fitting
and the shoulder of the sleeve with a small
amount of good grade lubricant such as
clean compressor oil.
At installation of tubing assemblies, do not overtighten
tubing nuts.
(h)
Insert tubing assembly into fitting and
tighten nut until a sharp rise in torque is felt.
Starting at position of sharp torque rise,
tighten the nut 1/4 additional turn to
complete the assembly.
NOTE
At the point where the torque starts to rise, the sleeve
and tubing are just touching the seat. An additional 1/4
turn produces a seal with the fitting and restores the bow
to the sleeve.
(3) Replace damaged or defective fittings.

DISASSEMBLY OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
Limit disassembly of major components to the extent
necessary to repair or replace a given assembly. All
major
components
are
covered
in
the
following
paragraphs. Refer to Figure 8-1 for major components
and their attaching hardware.
NOTE
Unless
otherwise
specified,
all
figures referenced in this section will
be found in Section VIII, Illustrated
Parts Breakdown.
NOTE
Remove tubing and hose assembly
as needed (see Figure 6-1) in the
disassembly process. Tag tube and
hose
assembly
for
reassembly
purposes.
NOTE
Remove tubing clips as needed, tag
clips for aid in the reassembly process.

AIR PURIFICATION/DEHYDRATOR GROUP.
To remove the air purification/dehydrator group from the
air compressor unit, see Figure 8-1 and proceed as
follows:
NOTE
Identify all disconnected or removed
tube
assemblies
for
reassembly
purposes.
NOTE
Remove tubing clips as needed for
disassembly purposes.
a.
Disassembly. Air purification/dehydrator group,
see Figure 8-2 and proceed as follows:
(1)
Disconnect the rupture disc to tee tube
assembly (1) at tee (13). Disconnect 4th
stage cooler to mechanical filter tube
assembly (2) at elbow (16), and mechanical
filter to drain valve tube assembly (3) at
elbow (17).
(2)
Disconnect ten-micron filter to service valve
tube assembly (9) at elbow (26).
(3)
Disconnect and remove tube assemblies
(4, 5, 6, and 8).
NOTE
Prior to removal, number cylinders (19, 22, 23,
24 and 25) as shown (Figure 8-2) for reassembly
purposes.
Do not interchange or mix filter cartridges in
cylinder (19, 22, 23, 24 and 25). Contaminated
air would result from the mixing of cartridges.
(4)
Remove
nuts
(10),
screws
(12)
and
washers (11) from mounting brackets of
mechanical filter (18) and cylinders (19, 22,
23, 24 and 25).
(5)
Remove tee (13), check valve (14), nipple
(15)
and
elbows
(16,
17)
from
the
mechanical filter (18).
