SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION  
2.1 INTRODUCTION  
Your Boss compressor is a gas/diesel driven Rotary Screw Compressor unit that provides superior  
performance and reliability along with a minimal amount of required maintenance.  
2.2 ROTARY COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS  
COMPRESSOR DESCRIPTION  
The compressor assembly is a positive displacement, oil flood lubricated, screw type unit employing one  
stage of compression to achieve the desired pressure. Components include a housing (stator), two screws  
(rotors), gears, bearings and bearing supports.  
In operation, two helical grooved rotors mesh to compress air. Inlet air entering the casing is compressed  
as the male lobes roll down the female grooves, pushing trapped atmospheric air along and compressing it  
in one stage of compression. This process delivers smooth-flowing air at full pressure to the receiver.  
To illustrate the compression sequence, consider the action of the male lobe as similar to a ball. As a helix  
rotates, the ball (male lobe) meshes with the groove to start a compression cycle with trapped atmospheric  
air. As the ball moves down the groove, air is compressed. Atmospheric air fills in behind the ball preparing  
the groove for another compression cycle as rotation continues and the male lobe again meshes with the  
groove.  
During the compression cycle, oil is injected into the compressor for the purpose of lubrication, cooling  
and sealing. Compressed air laden with oil leaves the compressor unit through a discharge port, which is  
designed to give optimum performance within the desired discharge pressure range.  
AIR FILTER  
The Rotary Screw Compressor unit and engine are protected by a high efficiency, two-stage air filtering  
system. This is a dry filter that requires maintenance when the air filter restriction gauge says it is time.  
OIL COOLING  
The compressor is an “oil flooded” compressor. The oil lubricates, seals and cools the internals of the  
compressors as it is injected into the compressor. The oil goes through the compressor with the air where  
it picks up the heat generated by the compression process then seals the spaces between moving parts and  
lubricates bearings. The hot oil must be cooled. It is separated from the air, passed through the oil cooler  
(mounted next to the engine radiator), through a thermostatic valve (that helps to rapidly warm cold oil at  
start-up), then through a full flow oil filter and then back into the compressor. See instructions 4.10 and  
4.13 for oil filter element and air/oil separating element servicing.

AIR/OILSEPARATOR  
At the compressor discharge the compressed air and the hot oil flow into a steel ASME coded pressure  
vessel (rated at 175 psig-250psig) that acts as a reservoir for the air and separates out the oil. From the  
bottom of this oil sump the oil leaves the vessel on its way to the oil cooler. The air and the slight oil mist  
still entrained in the air flow through the separator element, which removes the last of the oil from the air.  
The air passes on out to its final use and the separated oil goes through the scavenge line to the compressor  
to re-enter the system.  
As the compressor air leaves the receiver it goes through a minimum pressure valve that is set to maintain  
at least 80 psig (55kpa) in the receiver when the compressor is running. The purpose of this pressure is to  
ensure that there is pressure to force the oil out of the bottom of the receiver, through the oil cooling system,  
so that sufficient oil is injected into the compressor.  
CONTROL SYSTEM  
The Boss compressor system is simple to operate. Starting procedure is explained in section 3 and on the  
instrument panel door of the compressor. Each machine has an On/Off switch and a safety bypass switch  
that bypasses the safety shutdowns. Once the machine is “on line” and in the run position, control is  
automatic. The control system senses the need for air and adjusts the speed of the engine and compressor  
as well as the opening of the compressor inlet valve to supply the amount of air needed. If the air demand  
is zero, the engine and compressor “idle” and the inlet valve is shut to control the air entering the compressor.  
If the demand is maximum, the opposite happens, full speed and wide-open inlet valve. Intermediate air  
demands give intermediate speeds and valve openings for maximum operating efficiency. Service and  
adjustments are in section 4.14.  
2.3 ENGINE COMPONENTS  
ENGINE DESCRIPTION  
The engine in each Boss compressor system is selected to have reserve horsepower and speed necessary to  
drive the compressor and all accessories when operating up to a discharge pressure 100 psig (686kpa) to  
220 psig (1509kpa).  
RADIATOR  
The radiator is selected to handle the heat load of the engine. Mounted next to the compressor oil cooler.  
Cooling air is moved through these two coolers with a specially selected engine fan. The system is designed  
to handle extreme heat conditions.  
FUEL SYSTEM  
All units are supplied with fuel tank capacity adequate for a day’s normal operation, fuel filtering system  
and optional low fuel shutdown. See section 4.3 for fuel servicing.  
MUFFLER  
Engine noise is reduced by a durable, low restriction engine muffler.

CAUTION  
MECHANICALOVER-TIGHTENINGMAYDISTORT THE THREADS OR DAMAGE  
THE FILTER ELEMENT SEAL.  
4.3 ENGINE COOLING SPECIFICATIONS  
Diesel engines require a balanced coolant mixture of water and ethylene glycol base antifreeze. This  
protects the engine cooling system from corrosions as well as freezing damage. The Boss 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. It will help prevent corrosion  
and pitting of cylinder liners. See engine manufactures operator/instruction manual for the proper engine  
coolant for the brand engine in your Boss compressor.  
MIXTURES:  
Antifreeze concentration level should not exceed recommended levels. Doing so can cause cooling system  
failure.  
·
·
·
Use a high quality, low silicate antifreeze  
A mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water is required for temperatures above –37 º C (-34 ºF).  
Amixture of 60% antifreeze and 40% water us required for environments below –37 ºC (-34 ºF). This  
provides protection to –54 ºC (-65 ºF).  
·
Never exceed a 60% antifreeze and 40% water mix.  
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM  
All engines have a pressurized cooling system that contains a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol.  
Daily maintenance of the system includes a check of the coolant level, proper belt adjustment of fan and  
water pump drives, soundness of fan and cleanliness of the radiator and oil cooler to permit airflow. Further  
cooling system maintenance is defined in the engine maintenance manual.  
16

COOLANT LEVEL  
Before each start-up, when radiator is cold, the coolant should be checked. When needed, refill with a 50/  
50 solution of water and ethylene glycol, DO NOT use 100% antifreeze for “topping off”.  
WARNING  
CHECK THE COOLANT LEVELONLYWHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPEDAND THE  
TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 160ºF (70ºC) FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE  
PERSONALINJURY FROM HEATED COOLANT SPRAY.  
4.4 FAN  
Check the fan for cracks, loose rivets, and bent or loose blades. Make sure it is securely mounted. Tighten  
the cap screws if loose. Replace damaged fans.  
WARNING  
NEVER USE THE FAN TO ROTATE THE ENGINE. THE BLADE(S) CAN BE  
DAMAGED CAUSINGAFAN FAILURE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN PERSONALINJURY  
OR PROPERTYDAMAGE.  
4.5 RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP  
If coolant continually spills from radiator through the overflow then the radiator cap should be tested and/  
or replaced with a cap of the same pressure rating, generally 13 PSI. Be sure cap is turned to the proper  
secure position.  
4.6 RADIATOR  
Any sign of leakage from the radiator may justify a pressure test to assure its soundness. Radiator leaks  
should only be repaired by qualified service people. Dirt that clogs the cooling fins of the radiator should  
be removed. The use of an air stream of 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.  
4.7 COMPRESSOR OIL  
The life and proper operation of the compressor is dependent on adequate and clean compressor oil.  
DEXRON® - IIIAutomatic Transmission Fluid is supplied with the new machine and should be used for  
proper level maintenance and for oil changes. We recommend that you use DEXRON® - IIIAutomatic  
Transmission Fluid.  
WARNING  
DO NOT REMOVE CAPS OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHEN COMPRESSOR IS  
RUNNING OR PRESSURIZED. BEFORE DOING SO, STOP COMPRESSOR AND  
RELIEVEALLINTERNALPRESSURE.

The advantage in using DEXRON® - III in the compressor is that it is good lubricant suitable to its application  
and it is readily available. There are other oils that may be used that have longer life. They are better able  
to stand the extreme operating conditions. Whether or not to use these oils is a decision that depends upon  
the operating conditions. Very frequent oil changes are necessary in extremely hot, dirty operating conditions  
and if the compressor is operating in a remote, difficult-to-reach service location then perhaps it would be  
better to use the DEXRON® - III because of availability and cost. If, however service is convenient and  
attentive so that the oil can be used for as long as it will provide good protection; then higher quality oils  
may be used that will extend the life of the compressor.  
WARNING  
BOSS DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OF OILS. WHEN  
CHANGING TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OIL, CLEAN COOLER, AIR/OIL RECEIVER  
AND LINES THOROUGHLY.  
ADDING COMPRESSOR OIL  
1.  
2.  
Level the compressor to assure oil level indicator will be accurate.  
Remove any dirt around fill cap, which is located on or near the air/oil receiver and then remove  
the fill cap itself.  
3.  
4.  
Inspect the fill cap for damage and cleanliness. Replace if necessary.  
Proper oil can then be added until the oil level reaches halfway in the sight-level tube or the  
“bullseye”.  
5.  
6.  
Replace full cap securely-never put cap on without tightening immediately.  
Do not over fill the sump tank. This will cause oil to spray out of the blowdown valve and/or  
service valve.

Close all drains and replace oil with fresh oil to proper level. Replace fill cap and run the unit  
briefly to see if more oil needs to be added and to ensure there or no leaks.  
COMPRESSOR OILFILTER  
The oil filter in the compressor lubrication system is of the full flow spin-on canister type. Initially the  
filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours, then every 500 hours or sooner if indicated. Adirty filter  
can restrict oil flow, causing high oil temperature condition, which will result in a unit shutdown.

AIR FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING  
The air filter element is cleaned by using compressed air. The maximum amount of times that an element  
should be cleaned is (2) times; however the element should be used no longer than a period of one(1) year  
without changing.  
Prior to cleaning an element, check the element for damage. Damaged elements must be replaced.  
When cleaning the element with compressed air, never let the air pressure exceed 30 PSIG (200 kpa).  
Reverse flush the element by, directing the compressed air up and down the pleats in the filter media from  
the “clean side” of the element. Continue reverse flushing until all dust is removed. Should any oil or  
greasy dirt remain on the filter surface, the element should then be replaced.  
ELEMENT INSPECTION:

4.9 COMPRESSOR OIL THERMOSTATIC VALVE  
The oil thermostatic valve acts as a thermostatically controlled by-pass valve and allows varying amounts  
of oil, depending upon the temperature, to by-pass cooler during the warm up period. When circulated oil  
reaches a temperature of 140 º F, the valve closes the by-pass completely and all the oil is circulated though  
the cooler. The oil cooler by-pass is restricted enough to cause some warm oil to flow through the cooler  
during the warm-up period, maintaining a higher average compressor oil temperature. This reduces  
condensation in the oil system and also reduces the possibility of a slug of cold oil from the cooler, causing  
a momentary high restriction and a temporary reduction in the oil pressure, hence oil flow.  
CLEANINGOILTHERMOSTAT  
1.  
If it becomes necessary to take the thermostat apart and clean it, disassemble at the bolted flange  
and remove the element.  
2.  
If coated or dirty, clean as necessary. The element and rubber seal ring should be cleaned only with  
hot water.  
3.  
4.  
Inspect the element for bent or dented parts.  
Replace any damage part during cleaning and assembling the pipe openings should be closed with  
tape or plugs until pipe connections made.  
4.10 COMPRESSOR AIR/OIL SEPARATOR  
WARNING  
DO NOT REMOVE CAPS, PLUGS OR OTHER COMPONENTSWHEN COMPRESSOR  
IS RUNNING OR PRESSURIZED. PERSONAL INJURY WILL RESULT. BEFORE  
DOING SO, STOPCOMPRESSOR AND RELIEVE ALLINTERNALPRESSURE.  
The separator element is located in the top of the air-oil receiver/separator tank. Here the oil mist contained  
in the air is removed prior to the final discharge of air. Air should be taken only from the outlet service  
valves on the center of the top end of the separator-never directly from the receiver/separator fittings on the  
side of the tank. When the oil vapor in the discharge air becomes excessive, the separator element may  
need replacing. This should not be necessary more than once a year under normal operating conditions.  
SEPARATOR ELEMENT REPLACEMENT  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The element may be replaced by removing the head from the top of separator and pulling the  
element out. Only a factory element should be used as a replacement.  
The separator element flange must have a gasket on each side to seal the head on one side and the  
vessel on the other. The staple in each gasket must be left in the gasket, it acts as a static ground.  
Re-torque the head bolts uniformly to a specification of 220ft-1b.(dry) or 170ft-lb. (wet) when  
replacing the separator head.  
4.11 BELTS & BELT ADJUSTMENT

4.12 CONTROLS-OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS  
The compressor system is designed to match air supply and engine performance with the demand. The  
components of the control system are, the blowdown valve, start-run solenoid, compressor inlet valve,  
pressure regulator and an engine air cylinder.  
The start-run valve that is open in the start run position. This allows air to by-pass the pressure regulator  
and go directly to the compressor inlet valve, closing it and to the engine air cylinder, holding the throttle  
at idle. When switched to the run position, shutting off the by-pass air. Control air now has to go through  
the pressure regulator.  
The pressure regulator is referred to as a positive type and its operation is proportional to system pressure.  
As pressure increases it opens, allowing air to pressurize the inlet valve and air cylinder. When there is an  
air demand, the pressure decreases and the regulator starts to close, relieving the pressure in the inlet valve  
and air cylinder. An orifice in the regulator bleeds the air out of control line between regulator, engine air  
cylinder and inlet valve supplies a signal proportional to the system pressure the inlet valve will modulate.  
With no air demand the pressure rises, the signal air from the regulator closes the inlet valve. When an air  
demand is present or the pressure falls, the air signal is removed allowing the inlet valve to open to match  
air demand.  
The blowdown valve has two functions in the system. First it prevents excessive pressure in the start and  
unload modes by bleeding off the small amount of air being drawn in during idle. Secondly it relieves or  
blows down the system on shutdown. This valve is not adjustable.  
ADJUSTMENT  
When performing control adjustments care must be taken in regard to safety as the compressor must be  
running. Be aware of moving parts, as well as, hot items, such as fans, belts and exhaust components.  
IDLE OR UNLOAD SPEED ADJUSTMENT (For 100 PSI System)  
With the compressor warmed up and all service valves closed, move start-run switch to run position. Air  
pressure will build to 120 psig. If air pressure is less than 120 psig, adjust regulator up by turning the  
adjusting screw clockwise. If air pressure is greater than 120 psig, adjust regulator down by turning the  
adjusting screw counter-clockwise. Check engine speed with a photo tachometer.  
If idle speed is not as listed in specifications, adjustment will be required.  
Note: If your unit is rated at a higher pressure add 20psi to the working pressure for unload pressure; ex:  
150 PSI working = 170 unload.  
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES  
On the injection pump throttle arm, there are two adjusting screws. The air cylinder connected to the  
throttle arm, this air cylinder moves throttle to increase and decrease engine speed with air demand. When  
adjusting idle speed, the air cylinder should be fully extended moving throttle arm towards front of engine.  
To adjust idle speed, loosen locknut on adjusting screw towards rear of engine. Turning adjustment screw  
clockwise will increase speed. If proper speed cannot be obtained with the adjustment screws, it may  
require loosing the locknut on air cylinder shaft and adjusting clevis. By turning clevis onto shaft speed  
will increase, by turning clevis out, speed will decrease. After proper speed is set, tighten all locknuts.  
22

PRESSURE REGULATORADJUSTMENT  
After setting idle speed and compressor is in run position, the pressure regulator adjustment can be checked  
and adjusted if required.  
The air cylinder receives an air signal from the pressure regulator. This air cylinder controls engine speed  
with air demand. To adjust pressure regulator, with compressor in the run position, open service valve  
slightly to allow air to bleed out. By watching air pressure gauge note when air cylinder starts to retract,  
this should be approximately 105 psig. If cylinder does not start to retract until at a lower pressure, the  
regulator is set to low. The regulator has a locknut and adjustment screw. Loosen the locknut and turn  
adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure. Turning screw counter clockwise decreases pressure.  
After adjustment is complete, tighten locknut.  
Note: If you unit is rated a higher pressure add 5 PSI to the working pressure; ex: 150 PSI working = 155  
retract pressure.  
RATED SPEEDADJUSTMENT  
With the compressor in a run position open service valve slowly until pressure gauge is reading 100 PSI  
(working pressure). Check that air cylinder is fully retracted, moving throttle arm to full speed and check  
the engine speed. Adjust the speed to within the specifications in the front of this manual. To adjust there  
are two adjusting screws on throttle arm, the adjusting screw towards rear of engine is the high-speed  
adjustment. Loosen locknut on adjustment screw by turning screw counter clockwise, speed increases,  
after setting speed to specifications, tighten locknut, close service valve and allow compressor to unload  
and return to idle.  
4.13 INSTRUMENTS  
The standard control panel has gauges for air pressure, oil pressure, coolant temperature, ammeter and  
hourmeter. Also included is an ignition switch, start/run valve and safety bypass switch. The safety bypass  
switch cuts out the low oil pressure switch to permit starting. The low oil pressure switch is normally opens  
and closes upon activation. Safety shutdowns are also provided for high compressor oil temperature and  
high engine coolant temperature. These switches are normally closed and upon activation. If the compressor  
will not start or shuts down while in operation without an obvious malfunction, each switch can be checked  
individually by connecting a jumper wire across the terminal posts one switch at a time. The defective  
switch must be replaced.  
NOTE: the existing wiring harness must be connected to the safety switches while making the above  
check.  
4.14 BATTERY  
Batteries supplied with Boss compressors are selected to have ample cold cranking amperes for quick  
starts in inclement weather. Keep them fully charged and if replacement is necessary the replacement must  
be of equal capacity.  
WARNING  
BATTERY GAS CAN EXPLODE CAUSINGACID BURN TO SKIN AND BLINDNESS.  
DO NOT OVERCHARGE OR JUMPTHE BATTERY INCORRECTLY.

4.15 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
A good maintenance program is the key to long machine life. Follow a regular schedule of inspection and  
servicing, based on operating hours. Keep an accurate logbook for maintenance, servicing and operating  
hours. Use the factory recommended Periodic Maintenance schedule (based on favorable operating  
conditions) to serve as a guide to get long and efficient machine life. Regular service periods are  
recommended for normal service and operating conditions. For engine maintenance, refer to the engine  
manual where a detailed description of service instructions is given. For continuous duty, extreme  
temperature, etc., service more frequently. Neglecting routine maintenance can result in machine failure  
or permanent damage.  
WARNING  
DO NOT REMOVE CAPS, PLUGS OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHEN COMPRESSOR  
IS RUNNINGOR PRESSURIZED. SEVERE PERSONALINJURYMAYRESULT. STOP  
COMPRESSOR AND RELIEVEALLINTERNALPRESSURE BEFORE DOING SO.  
4.16 DAILY OPERATION  
Prior to starting the machine, it is necessary to check the oil level in the sump. Should the level be low, add  
the necessary amount. If the addition of oil become too frequent, a simple problem may have developed  
which is causing this excessive loss. See the troubleshooting section under Excessive Oil Consumption for  
a probable cause and remedy. Also check the linkage prior to starting.  
NOTE: the radiator and engine cooling system should be drained and flushed every two years. Replace the  
coolant with a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water. Do not use a leak sealing type of antifreeze.  
Should a 100% water solution be used, a rust inhibitor must be added.  
After a routine start has been made, observe the instrument panel gauges. After the machine has warmed  
up, it its recommended that general check on the overall machine and instrument panel be made to assure  
the compressor is running properly. Also check the air filter maintenance indicator (if supplied). Should  
the indicators show red, clean or replace the elements immediately. (See engine manual.)

SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING  
5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the unit will not crank when a “START” is attempted, DO NOT jump-start without first considering the  
following:  
If there is obvious battery damage such as a cracked or broken case, replace battery  
Check for loose battery cables. Tighten if necessary  
Check terminals for corrosion, clean if necessary  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Connect the first jumper cable from positive “+” (red) terminal of the discharged battery to the  
positive “+” (red) terminal on the booster battery. NEVER connect “+” (red) to “-” (black). DO  
NOT PERMIT vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and  
counteract the benefits of this procedure.  
Connect one end of second jumper cable to the ground negative “-” (black) terminal of the booster  
battery. Connect the other end of this jumper cable to a solid, stationary metallic point on the  
compressor with the discharged battery but at a pointAWAYfrom the battery (at least 18 inches or  
more) if possible. DO NOT connect directly to the negative post of the discharged battery.  
Disconnect positive battery terminal whenever using a high rate charge. Start the compressor in  
accordance with normal procedure. When the engine is operating smoothly disconnect the jumper  
cable end at the engine block before disconnecting the jumper cables from the other position.  
Your Boss compressor has safety switches that protect the engine and compressor from permanent damage.  
The safety switches are as follows:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Engine Oil Pressure: This is a normally open switch that closes with 15 PSI of engine oil pressure.  
Engine Coolant Temperature: This is a normally closed that opens a 220° F.  
Compressor Oil Temperature: This is a normally closed switch that opens at 245°F.  
All above switches are in series with the power feed to the engine fuel solenoid. If any of the switches open,  
power to the solenoid is lost and the engine shuts down.  
WARNING  
OPERATINGWITHOUTSAFETY SWITCHES COULD CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL  
INJURY OR DEATH AND CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE. IT WILL  
VOID EXISTING WARRANTIES. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS  
ARE FUNCTIONAL.

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.

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 carrier’s 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 carrier’s 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.
