Description of Components
The 250 DUS Air Compressor contains a John Deere, 4 cylinder diesel engine. This engine has been
selected to handle the rugged duty required for its operation. The engine speed is regulated by a
pneumatic throttle control.
5.1Engine
5.2Drive Coupling
Power from the engine is transmitted to the compressor input shaft through a specially designed drive
coupling. The drive coupling consists of a highly torsionally flexible rubber disc that mates with an
engine flywheel flange. 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. Power from the engine flywheel
is transferred through a gear set to the male rotor. The female rotor is driven by the male rotor. There
are five lobes on the male rotor while the female rotor has six roots. In operation, two helical grooved
rotors mesh to compress air. Inlet air is trapped as the male lobes roll down the female grooves,
pushing trapped air along, compressing it until it reaches the discharge port at the end of the stator which
delivers smooth-flowing, pulse-free air. Being an oil flooded system, the oil serves three purposes:
lubricates the rotating parts and bearings, serves as a cooling agent for the compressed air, and seals the
running clearances.
5.4 Separator System
I. Separator Tank
From the compressor airend, the compressed air and hot oil flow into a steel, ASME coded,
pressure vessel, rated at 250 PSI, that acts as an oil reservoir. This tank is the first of two stages in
separating the oil and compressed air mixture. From the bottom of the separator tank, oil is forced
to the oil filter.
II. Separator Element
At the top of the separator tank is the separator element. The separator element removes the oil
mist from the air as it is passed on to the minimum pressure valve. As the air/oil mist passes through
the outside of the media, oil gathers on the interior walls and settles to the bottom of the element.
Collected oil is returned to the compressor airend through the oil return line. The separator will filter
the oil concentration in the air to less than 3 parts per million.
-
16 309663
5.10 Compressor Oil Thermal Valve
The compressor oil thermal valve is a thermostatically controlled by-pass valve that allows varying
amounts of oil, depending upon the temperature, to by-pass the oil cooler. The oil thermal valve directs
oil flow back to the compressor airend until the system reaches 170F. Once at system operating
temperature, the valve shifts, directing the flow through the oil cooler before returning to the compressor
airend.
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. On the outlet of the engine air filter is an air filter restriction indicator. This indicator serves as
a maintenance tool.
5.7 Compressor Air Filter
The compressor air filter is a two stage, dry type intake filter with a gravity evacuator and replaceable
internal element. On the outlet of the compressor air filter is an air filter restriction indicator. This
indicator serves as a maintenance tool.
5.8 Cooling Systems
I. Engine Radiator
The radiator is designed to dissipate the heat load of the engine and is mounted in front of the
specially selected engine fan. Hot engine coolant is passed through the interior of the radiator and
heat is transferred to the air that passes across the cooling fins.
II. Compressor Oil Cooler
The compressor oil cooler is designed to dissipate the heat created during the compression of air.
The oil cooler is mounted beside the engine radiator. This works similar to the engine radiator but is
designed to withstand the full compressor system working pressure.
5.9 Compressor Oil Filter
The compressor oil filter is a full flow, spin-on canister. It has been specially designed to handle 200
PSI. The oil filter is mounted downstream of the separator tank to ensure all contaminants are pre-
vented from being passed on to the compressor oil cooler.
-
17 309663
Description of Components
5.12 Minimum Pressure Valve
To ensure there is adequate pressure to produce proper oil flow throughout the system, a spring loaded,
normally closed minimum pressure valve is set to maintain at least 80 PSI in the separator tank.
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.
5.13 Blowdown Valve
The blowdown valve is a shuttle valve that vents system pressure to atmosphere when the system is shut
down. This is done to prevent the high torque load that would be required to overcome the static
pressure. The blowdown valve is stamped with an I and a P. The I side is connected to dry air
from the separator tank, and the P side is the pilot signal coming from the compressor inlet valve.
5.15 Discharge Pressure Regulator Valve
This valve, located downstream of the separator element, is used to set the desired discharge pressure.
This valve will send a pneumatic signal to the inlet valve to start closing when the pressure exceeds the
setpoint. This signal will also adjust the speed of the engine. This system has a maximum operating
pressure of 160 PSI.
Most air tools operating pressure range is between 90 and 125
PSI. Operating above the tools recommended pressures will
decrease the life of the tool. Strictly adhere to tool operating
pressures and torque standards set forth by the tool
manufacturer.
5.14 Blowdown Switch
The system is equipped with a blowdown switch. This switch will sense pressure in the pilot signal to
the blowdown valve. If the system contains pressure, the switch will prevent the machine from starting.
This will prevent premature damage to the drive coupling.

18 309663
Description of Components
5.16 Instrument Panel
The 250 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. During operation, the engine oil pressure should be approximately
60 PSI to 80 PSI.
II. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This feature displays the temperature of the engine coolant. When the temperature reaches 235F,
the system will shut down. During operation, the temperature should be approximately 190F to
210F.
III. Compressor Discharge Pressure Gauge
This feature displays the pressure downstream of the airend.
IV. Compressor Discharge Temperature Gauge
This feature displays the compressor discharge temperature. When the temperature reaches 245F,
the system will shut down. During operation, the discharge temperature should be approximately
170F to 190F.
V. Hourmeter
The hourmeter records the total number of operating hours. It serves as a guide in following the
recommended maintenance schedule. The hourmeter will only run when the engine is operating.
VI. Voltmeter
This feature displays the voltage of the battery. The voltmeter will display when the ignition switch is
in the RUN position. During operation, the voltmeter should be approximately 14 VDC.
VII. Unloader Valve
This turn valve is used to limit the compressor system pressure. When the valve is in the loaded
position, the system will build to the regulator setting. If the valve is set to unloaded, the system will
build to approximately 45 PSI.
VIII. Emergency Stop Switch
The system is equipped with an emergency stop switch to immediately shutdown the machine.
IX. Bypass Switch
The bypass switch will temporarily disable the engine oil pressure shutdown during startup.
X. Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is used for starting and stopping the machine.

30R7 rated fuel lines.
Installation
6.1 System Installation Overview
The 250 DUS Air Compressor should be installed only by those who have been delegated to do so,
trained, and who have read and understand this manual. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures,
and safety precautions in this manual may result in accidents and injuries.
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 companys regulations.
Do not modify this system except with written factory approval.
6.2 Placing The Machine
The first step in installing the 250 DUS Air Compressor is placing the system on a solid, level surface.
This machine is designed to run at up to a 15 grade maximum. The machine must be supplied ample
ambient air, as the system will overheat if the cooling air intakes temperature exceeds ambient condi-
tions.
Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. This mix-
ture can cause an explosion.
Due to the precise tolerances of diesel injection systems, it is
extremely important that the fuel be kept clean and free from
dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can cause severe

6.5 Connecting the Air Discharge Lines
Connect the customer supplied air discharge lines, designed to handle a minimum of 200 PSI continu-
ously, to the two 3/4 MNPT air discharge ports.
6.4 Fuel Specifications
I. High Altitude and Low Temperature Fuels
Fuels with cetane numbers higher than 40 may be needed in high altitudes or extremely low ambient
temperatures to prevent misfires and excessive smoke.
II. Cold Weather Fuel
At operating temperatures below 32 F, use a blend of No. 1D and No. 2D fuels, also known as
Winterized No. 2D.
Use a low sulfur content fuel having a cloud point that is at least 10 degrees below the lowest
excepted fuel temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to form in
diesel fuel.
The viscosity of the fuel must be kept above 1.3 centistoke to provide adequate fuel system lubrica-
tion.
Use ASTM No. 2D fuel with a minimum cetane number of 40.
No. 2 diesel fuel gives the best economy and performance
under most operating conditions. See engine manufactures
operators/instruction manual for the proper engine fuel for the
brand engine in your Boss Industries, Inc. Air Compressor.

8.9 Compressor Oil
The following are general characteristics for a rotary screw lubricant. Due to the impossibility of establishing
limits on all physical and chemical properties of lubricants which can affect their performance in the
compressor over a broad range of environmental influences, the responsibility for recommending and
consistently furnishing a suitable heavy duty lubricant must rest with the individual supplier if they choose not
to use the recommended Boss Industries, Inc. rotary screw lubricant. The lubricant suppliers
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.
Boss Recommended Compressor Lubricant: DEXRON III ATF
I. Specifications
1. Flash point 400F minimum.
2. Pour point -40F.
3. Contains rust and corrosion inhibitors.
4. Contains foam suppressors.
5. Contains oxidation stabilizer.
It is important that the compressor oil be of a recommended
type, and inspected and replaced as started in this manual.
The combination of a separator element loaded with dirt
and oxidized oil products together with increased air veloc-
ity as a result of this clogged conditions may produce a
critical point while the machine is in operation where igni-
tion can take place and could cause a fire in the separator
tank.
Mixing different types or brands of lubricants is not recom-
mended due to the possibility of a dilution of the additives
or a reaction between additives or different types.
Due to environmental factors, the useful life of all ex-
tended life lubricants may be shorter than quoted by the
lubricant supplier. Boss Industries, Inc. encourages the
user to closely monitor the lubricant condition and to par-
ticipate in an oil analysis program with the supplier.
No lubricant, however good and/or expensive, can replace
proper maintenance and attention. Select and use it wisely.

33 309663
Maintenance
Initially the filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 500 hours or 6
months. A dirty filter can restrict oil flow, causing high oil temperature, which will result in a system
shutdown.
I. Compressor Oil Filter Replacement
A. Verify the compressor oil system is drained.
B. Using a strap wrench, remove the oil filter and o-ring.
C. Clean o-ring seating surface on the oil filter head.
D. Apply a light film of oil to the new o-ring.
E. Hand tighten new filter until o-ring is seated in o-ring groove.
F. Continue tightening filter by hand an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
G. Continue with Changing the Compressor Oil steps.
8.11 Compressor Oil Filter
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.
Mechanical over-tightening may distort the threads or damage
the filter element seal.
H. Replace fill cap and tighten immediately.
I. Run system briefly to see if more oil needs to be added and to ensure there are no leaks.
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.
8.10 Compressor Oil Cooler
Any sign of leakage from the compressor oil cooler justifies a pressure test to ensure its integrity.
Cooler leaks should only be repaired by qualified service technicians. Dirt that clogs the cooling fins of
the cooler should be removed. The use of an air stream or high-pressure steam cleaner should be done
with caution so as to not damage the delicate fins. Bent cooling fins will reduce the cooling capability of
the compressor oil cooler.
8.9 Compressor Oil (continued)
III. Changing Compressor Oil (continued)
G. Dexron III ATF can now be added until the oil level reaches halfway in the sightglass. Do not
over fill the separator tank. This will cause oil carryover in the discharge line and at blowdown.

34 309663
Maintenance
Check the coolant level only when the engine is stopped and
the temperature is below 160 F. Failure to do so can cause
personal injury from heated coolant spray.
The 250 DUS Air Compressors 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.
I. Engine Coolant
A. Specifications
This diesel engine requires a balanced coolant mixture of water and ethylene glycol base
antifreeze. This protects the engine cooling system from corrosion as well as freezing damage.
The 250 DUS Air Compressor is shipped from the factory with a 50/50 mixture of water and
ethylene glycol. In tropical climates where freeze protection is not required, glycol engine
coolant should still be used to help prevent corrosion and pitting of cylinder liners.
B. Mixtures
Antifreeze concentration level should not exceed recommended levels. To do so can cause
cooling system failure.
1. A mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water is required for temperatures above -34 F.
2. A mixture of 60% antifreeze and 40% water is required for temperatures below -34 F.
This provides protection to -65 F.
3. Never exceed a 60% overall antifreeze mix.
C. Coolant Level
Before each start-up, when radiator is cold, the coolant level should be checked. When
needed, refill with a 50/50 solution of water and ethylene glycol, DO NOT use 100% anti-
freeze. The proper level for coolant in the system is to the bottom of the radiator fill neck and to
the cold line of the recovery bottle.
8.12 Engine Cooling System Maintenance
II. Engine Radiator
A. Radiator Core
Any sign of leakage from the engine radiator may justify a pressure test to assure its integrity.
Radiator leaks should only be repaired by qualified service technicians. Dirt that clogs the
cooling fins of the radiator should be removed. The use of an air stream or high-pressure steam
cleaner should be done with caution so as to not damage the delicate fins. Bent cooling fins will
reduce the cooling capability of the radiator.
-
35 309663
The battery supplied with the 250 DUS Air Compressor has been selected to have ample cold cranking
amperes for quick starts in cold weather. Keep the battery fully charged and if replacement is necessary
the new battery must be of equal or greater capacity.
Battery gas can explode causing acid burn to skin and blind-
ness. Do not overcharge or jump the battery incorrectly.
8.13 Battery
Never use the fan to rotate the engine. The blade(s) can be
damaged causing a fan failure, which can result in personal
injury or property damage.
IV. Engine Serpentine Belt
Visually inspect the engine serpentine belt. Replace belt if cracked or frayed. Check engine manual
for proper belt tension.
II. 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. Engine Fan
Check the engine fan for cracks, loose bolts, and bent or damaged blades. Replace damaged fans
immediately. Do not run system if any of the conditions exist. Make sure the hex head bolts
mounting the fan to the water pump pulley are properly torqued to 29 ft-lbs.
8.12 Engine Cooling System Maintenance (continued)
Maintenance
8.14 Standby Pressure Adjustment (For 100 PSI system)A. Close all service valves.
B. Start the machine.
C. Allow the engine to warm up.
D. The air pressure will build to 120 PSIG.
E. If the air pressure is less than 120 PSIG.
1. Adjust the discharge pressure regulator up by loosening the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
F. If the air pressure is greater than 120 PSIG.
1. Adjust the discharge pressure regulator up by loosening the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise.
G. After the air pressure is set, tighten the locknut.
-
36 309663
MaintenanceIf your unit is rated at a higher pressure, add 20 PSI to the
working pressure for unload pressure: 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
I. Rotate the unloader valve to UNLOAD.
II. Turn the ignition switch to the START position. If engine fails to start, DO NOT attempt to
restart until cranking motor stops rotating and the separator tank has blown down.
III. When engine starts, release the ignition switch. Maintain the unloader valve in the UNLOAD
position until the engine is warm and operating smoothly, then rotate the valve to LOAD.
IV. Allow system to run until engine coolant temperature reaches 190F.
V. Open the air service valve until the discharge pressure gauge reads the desired working pressure.
Verify that air is not bleeding out of the bottom of the discharge pressure regulator. If air is bleed-
ing out, the standby pressure is set too high. Follow the steps in section 8.14 for reducing the
standby pressure.
VI. Loosen the adjustment locknut on the adjustment screw towards the front of the engine.
VII. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the speed.
VIII. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to decrease the speed.
IX. If the proper speed cannot be obtained with the adjustment screw, it may require loosening the
locknut on the air cylinder shaft and adjusting the clevis.
X. By turning the clevis onto the shaft, the engine speed will increase.
XI. By turning the clevis out, the engine speed will decrease.
XII. After proper speed is set, tighten all locknuts.
XIII. Close service valve and allow compressor to unload and the engine to return to idle.

BOSS these items do not conform or are found to be defective in material of workmanship, BOSS will at its
option either, (a) furnish a Service Representative to correct defective workmanship, or (b) upon return of
the item F.O.B. BOSS original shipping point, repair or replace the item or issue credit for the replacement
item ordered by Buyer, (Defective material must be returned within thirty (30) days of return shipping
instructions from BOSS. Failure to do so within specified time will result in forfeiture of claim), or (c) refund
the full purchase price for the item without interest. Factory installed units will also include warranty on
installation for a period of one (1) year. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, misuse
or negligence. If the compressor unit is disassembled the warranty is void. BOSSs sole responsibility and
Buyers exclusive remedy hereunder is limited to such repair, replacement, or repayment of the purchase
price. Parts not of BOSS manufacture are warranted only to the extent that they are warranted by the
original manufacture. BOSS shall have no responsibility for any cost or expense incurred by Buyer from
inability of BOSS to repair under said warranty when such inability is beyond the control of BOSS or
caused solely by Buyer.
There are no other warranties, express, statutory or implied, including those
of merchantability and of fitness of purpose; nor any affirmation of fact or
representation which extends beyond the description of the face hereof.
This warranty shall be void and BOSS shall have no responsibility to repair, replace, or repay the purchase
price of defective or damaged parts or components resulting directly or indirectly from the use of repair or
replacement parts not of BOSS manufacture or approved by BOSS or from Buyers failure to store, install,
maintain, and operate the compressor according to the recommendations contained in the Operating and
Parts Manual and good engineering practice. The total responsibility of BOSS for claims, losses, liabilities
or damages, whether in contract or tort, arising out of or related to its products shall not exceed the
purchase price. In no event shall BOSS be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential
damages of any charter, including, but not limited to, loss of use of productive facilities or equipment, loss of
profits, property damage, expenses incurred in reliance on the performance of BOSS, or lost production,
whether suffered by Buyer or any third party.

As claims, policies and procedures are governed by the terms of the BOSS Industries, Inc. (BOSS)
warranty, it is necessary to outline some of the more important provisions.
The BOSS warranty applies only to new and unused products, which, after shipment from the factory,
have not been altered, changed, repaired or mistreated in any manner whatsoever. Normal maintenance
items such as lubricants and filters are not warrantable items.
Parts not of BOSS manufacture are warranted only to the extent they are warranted by the original
manufacturer.
Damage resulting from abuse, neglect, misapplication or overloading of a machine, accessory or part is
not covered under warranty.
Deterioration or wear occasioned by chemical and/or abrasive action or excessive heat shall not
constitute defects.
Parts replacement and/or correction of defective workmanship will normally be handled by BOSS
Industries, Inc. or their authorized distributor.
Failure to file a detailed warranty claim/service report for each occurrence of material defect of
defective workmanship will cause warranty claim to be rejected.
Defective material must be returned within 30 days of receipt of shipping instructions. Failure to do so
within specified time will result in forfeiture of claim.
The distributor is responsible for the initial investigation and write up of the warranty claim.
Distributor shall be allowed no more than 30 days from date of repair to file a warranty claim/service
report.
Warranty for failure of BOSS replacement parts covers the net cost of the part only, not labor and
mileage.
The BOSS warranty does not cover diagnostic calls and travel. That is time spent traveling to the
machine to analyze the problem and returning with the proper tools and parts to correct the problem.
Boss will deduct from allowable credits for excess freight caused by sender failing to follow return
shipping instructions.
Distributors or end-user automatically deducting the value of a warranty claim from outstanding balances
due and payable to BOSS prior to receiving written notification of BOSS approval of the warranty
claim may be subject to forfeiture of the entire claim.

10.6 Warranty Claims Provisions
10.7 Damage in Transit
Do not return damaged merchandise to BOSS INDUSTRIES, please follow claim procedure.
1. Loss in transit:
The merchandise in our kit or provided in our factory installations has been thoroughly inspected or
carefully installed and tested before leaving our plant. However, regardless of the care taken at the
factory, there is a possibility that damage may occur in shipment. For this reason, it is recommended
that the unit be carefully inspected for evidence of possible damage or malfunction during the first few
hours of operation. Responsibility for the safe delivery of the kit or factory installed unit was assumed
by the carrier at the time of shipment. Therefore, claims for loss or damage to the contents of the kit or
factory installed unit should be made upon the carrier.
2. Concealed loss or damage:
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage, which does not become apparent until the kit is
unpacked or the factory-installed unit is run by the end-user. The contents of the kit or factory installed
unit may be damaged due to rough handling while in route to its destination, even thought the kit or
factory installed unit shows no external damage. When the damage is discovered upon unpacking,
make a written request for inspection by the carrier agent within fifteen days of delivery date. Then file
a claim with the carrier since such damage is the carriers responsibility.
By following these instructions carefully, we guarantee our full support of your claims, to protect you
against loss from concealed damage.
3. Visible Loss or Damage
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the Freight Bill or Express Receipt, and
signed by the carriers agent. Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss, or damage
may result in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. The carrier will supply the form required to
file such a claim.
