Replacing the Desiccant Tanks
The D Carousel Dryer has refillable desiccant tanks. When desiccant becomes
clogged or contaminated, you should replace the desiccant in all three tanks to
ensure optimum performance, or purchase new, prefilled tanks from Conair.
1 Stop the dryer then disconnect and lockout the main power.
2 Remove the right side panel from the
dryer.
3 Disconnect the hose from the desiccant
tank. Loosen the hose clamp with a screw
driver.
4 Lift the tank off the carousel assembly.
5 Refill the tank with fresh desiccant.
See “Refilling the Desiccant Tank
(Section 6).
6 Check the O-rings in the carousel coupling. Replace any O-rings that are
cracked, worn, or damaged. Apply petroleum jelly on the inside of the cou-
pling around the O-ring.
7 Place the refilled tank on the carousel assembly. Make sure the inlet/outlet
tube of the tank seats fully into the O-rings on the carousel pipe.
8 Connect the hose to the top of the tank. Secure with the hose clamp.
9 Reinstall the side panel.
IMPORTANT: It’s important that the
new tanks are connected to the
correct hoses. Mark the hoses as
they are disconnected, or replace
one tank at a time, to ensure that
you install the new tanks in the cor-
rect positions.
