Drain Plug
• Discharging condensate is carried out with intake
(motive medium), exhaust, inlet and outlet piping still
connected to the unit.
• Using a 300 mm (12 in) long adjustable wrench, slowly
loosen plug to release pressure and discharge fluid;
take care to avoid being burned by fluid discharge.
• Wrap threads with
3 – 3.5 turns of
sealing tape or apply
sealing compound.
• Tighten to a torque of
30 N

bolt slowly one turn in an alternating diagonal pattern.
• Once all bolts have been loosened, verify that there is
no internal pressure before completely removing the
bolts.

Anchors
• Remove the bolts that hold the anchor brackets to the
body and rotate the anchor brackets on their base
bolts so that they will not interfere with removal of the
body from the cover.
• Reverse steps in
disassembly.
Body / Cover • Make sure to secure sufficient space around the body
to allow it to be pulled straight off.
• As the body weighs approximately 90 kg (200 lb), use
a block and tackle hoist to assist in its removal.
• When moving the body away from and clear of the
cover, lift the body only about 1 cm (
3
⁄
8
in), to avoid
contact with the float and other internal parts.
• In addition, to avoid contact with the float when
removing the body, lift the float and the float lever
slightly.
• Do not tilt the body more than 15° in any plane.
• Reverse steps in
disassembly.
Cover
Gasket
• The gasket will be destroyed upon disassembly,
adhering to both body and cover; using a scratch-free
scrapper, carefully scrape the gasket from both body
and cover surfaces.
• Check that all pieces
of old gasket have
been removed, then
install a new gasket.
