The coupling provides a torque limitation to protect from system overloads. 5.3 Compressor Airend The Boss Industries, Inc. compressor airend is a positive displacement, oil flooded, rotary screw type unit employing one stage of compression to achieve the desired pressure. Components include a housing (stator), two screws (rotors), bearings, and bearing supports.
Description of Components 5.5 Pressure Relief Valve This valve vents separator tank pressure to atmosphere should the pressure inside the tank exceed 200 PSI. 5.6 Engine Air Filter The engine air filter is a two stage, dry type intake filter with a gravity evacuator and replaceable internal element.
Description of Components 5.11 Compressor Inlet Valve The compressor inlet valve is a normally open air intake valve bolted to the compressor airend. When the system is shut down, this valve also acts as a check valve that prevents the air/oil mixture within the compressor airend from entering the inlet piping.
Description of Components 5.16 Instrument Panel The 210 DUS Air Compressor incorporates an instrument panel that includes numerous gauges and controls in a single, easy to access location. I. Engine Oil Pressure Gauge This feature displays the oil pressure inside the engine block. When the pressure drops below 20 PSI, the system will shut down.
Install, use, and operate this system only in full compliance with all pertinent O.S.H.A., Federal, State, and Local codes or requirements, in addition to Boss Industries, Inc. and any company’s regulations. Do not modify this system except with written factory approval.
See engine manufactures operators/instruction manual for the proper engine fuel for the brand engine in your Boss Industries, Inc. Air Compressor.

The proper fluid levels are also listed in the maintenance section.
Installation This machine is equipped with safety unloading system to prevent damage to the compressor drive coupling. Should an attempt be made to start this system improperly, the machine will run unloaded for 60 seconds. Likewise, if an attempt is made to shutdown the system improperly, the unit will continue to run until the compressor system pressure unloads below 50 PSI.
Operate this system only in full compliance with all pertinent O.S.H.A., Federal, State, and Local codes or requirements, in addition to Boss Industries, Inc. and any company’s regulations. I. Routine Startup Preparation A.
Operation 7.2 Emergency Shutdown Procedure In the event of an emergency and the 210 DUS Air Compressor must be stopped suddenly without first unloading the compressor, the machine is equipped with an emergency shutdown switch. Do not shut the machine off loaded except in an emergency situation. Do not operate this machine again until the problem has been properly resolved.
Maintenance 8.1 Maintenance Overview This section contains instructions for performing the inspection, lubrication, and maintenance procedures required to ensure the system is in proper operating condition. The importance of performing the maintenance described herein cannot be over emphasized. A planned program of periodic inspection and maintenance will help avoid premature failure and costly repairs.
Maintenance Compressor oil and oil filter is to be changed after the first 50 hours of operation. After this, normal intervals are to be followed. Check engine’s operator manual for required service and maintenance intervals. 8.3 Recommended Spare Parts List l i F r e t t a r...
Substitute filters may have inadequate working pressure limits, resulting in filter leakage or rupture. Replacement filters must be the same quality and type as the original Boss Industries, Inc. separator element. The separator element flange must have a gasket on each side to seal the lid on one side and the vessel on the other.
Maintenance 8.7 Engine Air Filter Replacement Loosen the clamps that secure the engine air filter’s rear cover to the filter housing. II. Remove and clean the rear cover. III. Remove the air filter element. IV. Clean the canister with a damp cloth inside and out. DO NOT blow dirt out with compressed air. Never blow dirt out of the interior of the filter housing.
Maintenance 8.8 Compressor Air Filter Replacement Loosen the wing nut that secures the compressor air filter’s cover to the filter housing. II. Remove and clean the cover. III. Remove the air filter element. IV. Clean the canister with a damp cloth inside and out. DO NOT blow dirt out with compressed air. Never blow dirt out of the interior of the filter housing.
Boss Industries, Inc. rotary screw lubricant. The lubricant supplier’s recommendation must, therefore, be based upon not only the following general characteristics, but also upon his own knowledge of the suitability of the recommended lubricant in helical screw type air compressors operating in the particular environment involved.
Do not replace fill cap with a pipe cap; serious injury or dam- age could result. Replacement filters must be the same quality and type as the original Boss Industries, Inc. fill cap. F. Replace fill cap and tighten immediately.
Substitute filters may have inadequate working pressure limits, resulting in filter leakage or rupture. Replacement filters must be the same quality and type as the original Boss Industries, Inc. oil filter. D. Apply a light film of oil to the new o-ring.
Maintenance 8.12 Engine Cooling System Maintenance 210 DUS Air Compressor’s engine has a pressurized cooling system that contains a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol. Maintenance of the system includes the engine coolant, belt tension, fan integrity, and radiator. Further cooling system maintenance is defined in the engine manual. Engine Coolant A.
Maintenance 8.12 Engine Cooling System Maintenance (continued) Engine Radiator (continued) B. Radiator Pressure Cap If coolant continually spills from radiator through the overflow, the radiator cap should be tested and/or replaced with a 13 PSI rated cap. Be sure cap is tightened to the proper secure position. III.
160 PSI working = 180 PSI standby. 8.15 Idle Speed Adjustment If engine speed is below 1800 RPM, contact Boss Industries, Inc.’s service department for further assistance. 8.16 Rated Speed Adjustment Rotate the unloader valve to “UNLOAD”.
