IMPORTANT: Pay particular attention to the dryer cartridge. On this type of equipment, the compressor works all
the time due to the frequent use of the brake system. As a result, a lot of moisture is injected into the
air system. For more information, see Air Dryer below.
Air Dryer
Some units are equipped with an air dryer and/or alcohol evaporator.
These devices are used to reduce water in the air system, preventing corrosion or freezing of the air
components in cold weather.
Maintenance on the air dryer and/or alcohol evaporator is covered by the chassis manufacturer’s
maintenance manual.
