Maintenance
When disconnecting hose and tube, be sure to note the
location to ensure there is no confusion when
reconnecting.
Note the location of the separator tank lid so that it can
be reinstalled in the same orientation.
The separator tank lid has a pick-up tube installed and
damaging or moving the tube will affect the machines.
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. The
staple in each gasket acts as a static ground and must not be
removed.
