vehicle lessor receiving the recall notice must forward a copy of the notice to the lessee within ten days.
The end cover clamp must remain on the air dryer, in the proper position, for the life of the AD-2 dryer during
any operation or pressurization of the dryer. The end cover clamp may be removed only to allow access to the air
dryer interior for servicing, such as replacing the air dryer cartridge. Ensure all reservoirs are drained and all
pressure from the air dryer is relieved before removing the end cover clamp. After servicing reinstall the end
cover clamp. Note the clamp is not a substitute for the end cover snap ring. Both the end cover snap ring and the
end cover clamp are required for proper operation of these affected AD-2 Air Dryers. See Service Data Sheet SD-
08-2403 for proper cartridge maintenance procedures.
