This air compressor should be installed only by those who have been trained and delegated to do so and
who have read and understand the manual. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures, and safety
precautions in this manual may result in accidents and injuries.
Install, use, and operate this air compressor only in full compliance with all pertinent O.S.H.A., Federal,
State, and Local codes or requirements in addition to Boss and any company's regulations.
Do not modify this compressor except with written factory approval.
1. Mounting the Compressor
When mounting the compressor care should be taken to ensure that its location does not impede the
operation of other components on the vehicle. For example, if your vehicle is equipped with a crane,
you must make sure the compressor will not interfere with the swing of the crane. In addition, the
compressor should be installed in an area that permits cool ambient air to enter the air filter and the
hot air to exhaust without recirculating into the air filter. 10" of exhaust clearance is needed. The
compressor air filter is mounted on the frame. Cool ambient air is drawn in from under the frame. One last
consideration in the mounting should be the routing of hoses and electrical wires. The frame mounting holes
are shown below and the unit should be secured to the vehicle with 3/8 inch grade 8 bolts and washers.
Hardware supplied with unit, may not work in all applications. The compressor weighs 180 lbs. Ensure
that you have a sub structure to support at least that weight. Be sure to follow all National Vehicle Safety
Standards.
