Reverse order of removal operations to refit, making sure to check pipe fittings are properly aligned with dehydrating filter ducts before tightening nut shown in figure 4.

NOTE To prevent the dehydrating filter absorbing too much moisture from the environment, which could impair its operation, it is advisable to leave no more than 15 minutes from the time of connecting to system to filter installation. If this is not possible, seal filter inlet and outlet lines or free ends of connected hoses with water-tight plugs.
