CAUTION

DO NOT REPLACE FILL CAP WITH A PIPE CAP; SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE COULD RESULT. THE THREADS ARE DIFFERENT. ALWAYS ENSUREA STRAIGHT THREAD FILL CAP IS USED.

CHANGING COMPRESSOR OIL

1.Oil and air filter will help prolong oil life. If the oil appears dirty or it has a foul smell it should be replaced.

2.Change compressor oil and filter every 500 hours.

3.Remove fill cap and drain oil from the bottom of the air/oil receiver. Oil will drain more quickly and completely if it is warm from operation.

4.Close all drains and replace oil with fresh oil to proper level. Replace fill cap and run the unit briefly to see if more oil needs to be added and to ensure there or no leaks.

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER

The oil filter in the compressor lubrication system is of the full flow spin-on canister type. Initially the filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours, then every 500 hours or sooner if indicated. A dirty filter can restrict oil flow, causing high oil temperature condition, which will result in a unit shutdown.

CAUTION

SUBSTITUTE FILTERS MAY HAVE INADEQUATE WORKING PRESSURE LIMITS, RESULTING IN ELEMENT LEAKAGE OR RUPTURE. REPLACEMENT FILTERS MUST BE THE SAME QUALITY AND TYPES AS THE ORIGINAL BOSS AIR COMPRESSORS FILTER.

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

1.Using a strap wrench, remove the old element and o-ring.

2.Clean o-ring seating surface.

3.Apply a light film of oil to the new o-ring.

4.Hand tighten new element until new o-ring is seated in the o-ring groove.

5.Continue tightening element by hand an additional ½ to ¾ turn.

6.Restart machine and check for leaks.

CAUTION

MECHANICAL OVER-TIGHTENING MAY DISTORT THE THREADS OR DAMAGE THE FILTER ELELMENT SEAL.
