Dryer Cartridge, Removing And Installing, MODINE Condenser, Except RS 3: Installing

Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:

• Replace the plug, O-ring and dryer cartridge after every opening of the receiver/dryer. Refer to Parts Information.
• Keep the dryer cartridge sealed in its air-tight packaging as long as possible. Open the package just before inserting the dryer cartridge in the condenser. The dryer cartridge absorbs moisture from the surrounding air in a very short time and becomes unusable.

-- Using the opening, inspect the receiver/dryer on the condenser for dirt and damage on the threaded- and sealing surfaces.
