3. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or
assemble a component until you have read and
thoroughly understand the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe
all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle's air
brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure
from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on
the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with an
®
AD-IS
air dryer system or a dryer reservoir
module, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5. Following
the
recommended procedures, deactivate the
electrical system in a manner that safely removes
all electrical power from the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer's recommended
pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line
containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove a
component or plug unless you are certain all
system pressure has been depleted.
8. Use only genuine Bendix
components and kits. Replacement hardware,
tubing, hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent
size, type and strength as original equipment and
be designed specifically for such applications and
systems.
9. Components with stripped threads or damaged
parts should be replaced rather than repaired. Do
not attempt repairs requiring machining or welding
unless specifically stated and approved by the
vehicle and component manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make
certain all components and systems are restored
to their proper operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Antilock Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle
maintenance where one or more wheels on a
drive axle are lifted off the ground and moving.

REMOVING
Disconnect both upstream gladhands from the trailer or dolly
before beginning work on the Cyclone DuraDrain
separator.
1. Disconnect the supply and delivery line fittings.
2. Remove the mounting hardware, and spacer if applicable,
that secures the Cyclone DuraDrain
separator to the trailer frame rail.
INSTALLATION
A Cyclone DuraDrain
™
trailer water separator can be installed
in the control and/or the supply line of the trailer between
the gladhand and the first valve in the trailer system. See
Figure 3 Trailer Schematic.
1. Identify the control and/or the supply line that the Cyclone
DuraDrain
™
trailer water separator is to be installed in.
The trailer water separator should be installed at the
lowest point on the air line, but should not be too low
causing a dip in the air line. The Cyclone DuraDrain
trailer water separator must be installed vertically with
the purge nut pointing down to the ground to allow for
adequate draining.
2. Locate a mounting position on the trailer frame rail or
crossmember. Using the Cyclone DuraDrain
water separator as a template, mark the location of the
mounting holes. Drill two mounting holes. Consult with
the trailer manufacturer prior to drilling any holes in the
frame rail or crossmember. If a mounting spacer is used,
install as shown in Figure 2. Secure using grade 2 or 5
mounting hardware.
3. Cut the air line and install a 3/8" NPT male fitting at
each end. Connect the air lines to the supply and delivery
ports of the Cyclone DuraDrain
