Inspection Prior to Moving Vehicle (cont.)
2. Check air filter indicator to verify service is not required.
3. Locate the dust evacuator on the end of the air filter. Pinch the evacuator to make sure it is clear.
4. Check the system for oil and air leaks.
5. Start your vehicle and check B-CAN for any warnings (third button will be flashing). Notify service person-
nel if any warnings exist. The warnings must be corrected or the compressor will do a self lockout making it
inoperable. See maintenance manual for correcting B-CAN warning indicators. Follow all associated safety
procedures.
6. Make sure your vehicle has enough fuel to get to and from work site, including fuel for operation of compres-
sor and any other engine powered equipment.

Job Site Considerations

When using the compressor all company policies and procedures should be followed along with all Boss Industries, Inc.
safety procedures. The following are guidelines that should be followed when choosing the best location for running
the compressor.
1. The vehicle should be parked on as level of a surface as possible. The compressor must not be operated at
an angle that is more than 15°.
2. The vehicle's wheels should be chocked following company procedure.
3. Do not park the vehicle over high weeds or grass, flammable material, piles of debris, or anything that may
impede operation of compressor or restrict air flow to compressor components.
4. Give considerations to traffic safety with respect to access of air compressor service valves, control hoses,
and compressor equipment.

Starting the Compressor System

The following steps are for the routine start-up of the 8060 UBI PTO compres-
sor system. This process does not supercede any company policies and
procedures.
1. Read manual before operation.
2. Ensure all service valves are closed.
3. Set brakes per company procedure and chock wheels.
4. Ensure compressor button (button #1) is green and says EN-
GAGE COMPR. If button is yellow, press the button to see the
reasons why the compressor is not ready to engage.
* NOTE - If vehicle is a Ford SuperDuty, a green button does not
always mean compressor is ready to engage. Additional safety
checks will be done when attempting to engage the compressor.
5. Press the green ENGAGE COMPR button to start the compressor.
6. Verify engine speed elevates and compressor reaches normal
operating pressure.
7. Service valves can now be opened for normal operation.
