REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure air input has been disconnected from the unit
2. Remove the 3rd stage Filter Canister Housing by unscrewing it from the MEGAFLOW
Manifold Body
a. Keep the canister house vertical to avoid spilling desiccant
3. Remove the black flow blade from the top of the desiccant tube
4. While holding the desiccant tube against the canister housing, dump the silica beads
a. The beads can have their absorbency restored by baking them in the oven at
350F for about two hours or until they are blue again
5. Refill the desiccant tube using a funnel
a. Leave about 1” unfilled at the top to allow space for the regulator bottom cap
6. Re-install the black flow blade and O-rings
7. Re-install the Filter Canister Housing
a. Ensure O-Ring is properly seated in the top lip groove
b. Hand Tighten Only
8. Purge your outlet air for 1-3min at 60-100PSI
a. During transport and container transfer, the desiccant beads rub against
each other and wear down - creating a fine desiccant powder which must be
exhausted prior to use
b. Wear proper PPE during purge to protect against harm caused from high
pressure air and or inhalation of fine silica dust
Ensure you purge air after replacement!!!
