Installing the X2
Prior to Installation
1) Measure the distance from the truck bed to the highest point of the drivers side.
This will be the minimum clearance required for the boom column.
TIP: Use a 4 foot level to increase accuracy of measurement.
2) If the required clearance is greater than 40” the boom column has to be raised to
the correct height.
NOTICE: If the required clearance is above 55” the X2 can not be installed on
that vehicle.
Raising the Boom Column
1) Secure both the boom and boom
column with a lifting straps attached to
an overhead lifting device.
2) Locate and mark the new holes. To
get the adjustment distance; subtract
40” from the required clearance.
Measure upward from the bolts holding
the column in place. Select the holes
just past the measurement to give you
extra clearance.
Example: If the measured clearance
height is 49.75” after subtracting 40”
you end up with 9.75”. You would
select the holes at the 12” mark not
the 9” mark.
3) Remove the 4 bolts holding the boom
column in place.
4) Remove the hose guiding clamp above
the loop.
5) Slowly raise the boom up to the
corresponding holes.
NOTICE: the boom column with
the boom attached has an awkward
center of gravity and care must be
taken to prevent it from binding.
6) Align the holes and bolt the column
back into place.
7) Place the air hose back into the clamp
and tighten.

13
Installing the X2 Continued...
Perform Initial Start Up
1) Remove all packaging and other debris from the compressor, both inside and out.
2) Remove the lower panel on the exhaust side of the compressor and attach the
battery cable to the battery.
3) Check the oil level of the engine.
4) Confirm the oil level of the compressor.
5) Confirm all the mechanicals are in working order.
6) Replace any panels that may have been removed during inspection and set up.
7) Open the air valve and relieve any pressure. Close the valve only after all pressure
has been relived.
8) Fill the fuel tank, start the engine, allow 3-5 minutes to warm up and then open the
valve to confirm air flow.
9) Shut the system down.

14
Installing the X2 Continued
Lifting the X2
1) Using a forklift approach the X2 from the non-column side end. Insert forks into the
lifting pockets being careful not to damage the air hose of valve.
WARNING! The X2 is top heavy and has a center of gravity near the vertical
column. Use lifting pockets to assure safe loading and unloading of the X2.
WARNING! The complex center of gravity makes hoisting the X2 difficult and
dangerous, serious injury or death may occur. ONLY people trained in making
such complex lifts, with the proper equipment may attempt hoisting the unit.
2) Place the unit onto the bed of the truck, in between the wheel wells and against the
cab end of the bed. If a flatbed is being used, the unit should be loaded from the
rear, moved to the front of the bed and centered between sides of the deck.
NOTICE: The folded assembled length of the unit is 126” (10 ft 6 in) and
must NEVER be place sideways on a flatbed for transport.

15
Installing the X2 Continued
Securing the X2
1) Using four (4) ratchet straps rated for a minimum of 500 pounds each, attach one
end of each strap to the load hooks typically found in each corner of the bed.
CAUTION! The X2 will tip forward or on its side if not properly secured, leading
to possible injury or equipment damage. Four (4) separate straps are
REQUIRED to prevent tipping. Passing a single strap through both loops
to lash to the opposite corner DOES NOT properly restrain the unit and allows it
to slide on the straps and tip.
2) The straps at the cab end of the bed are to be strung to the tie down loops at the
top of the column.
4) After all straps are strung, begin tightening starting with the rear passenger corner.
Followed by the rear drivers, front passengers, and the front drivers. Lastly go back
through and confirm all are tight.
Permanent Mounting Options
The X2 is supplied with foot pads that allow for either bolting or welding the unit to the
truck bed. For installation using either of these methods consult your vehicles owners
manual or contact a professional aftermarket installer of hitches or truck bodies.
3) The straps at the rear corners of the bed are to go to the square tubes at the top of
the compressor.

16
Operating the X2
Start up
NOTICE: Keep compressor as level as possible during operation. NEVER
operate the compressor on grades greater than 25% (15⁰)
NOTICE: The compressor may experience high temperature shutdowns
when operated in temperatures above 100⁰ F.
NOTICE: The compressor and engine are not designed to work in an altitude
above 4000ft. Operating at altitudes above this point will result in loss of power,
fuel inefficiencies, lower air flow and pressures, and may even damage the
compressor or engine.
Contact Boss Industries Service Center at [phone] or email at
service@bossair,com for recommendations if the compressor is to run at
high altitudes.
1) Park the truck on a level surface, engage the emergency break, and climb into /
onto the truck bed.
2) Confirm system pressure has been fully relieved by opening the air valve and any
valve down stream.
WARNING! NEVER perform any maintenance on the compressor unit
without first releasing any / all stored pressure. Failure to comply can lead to
equipment damage, severe injury, or even death.
3) Check fuel level, engine oil, compressor oil level, inspect both air cleaners, all air
hoses, and fittings for damage.
4) Attach the air hose and blowout tool to the boom end.
5) Remove the pin holding the boom to the column.
6) Pull and hold the manual release backwards, and swing
the boom over the cab until its straight out and release
the latch making sure it engages the peg fully.
CAUTION! If the vehicle is not parked on a level
surface the boom may freely swing once the latch is
released. To prevent injury or equipment damage
make sure that the area around the truck is clear of
obstructions and people.
CAUTION! NEVER hang from boom, pull hard, or
jerk on the air hose. These actions can cause
damage to the equipment and possibly lead to injury.

Operating the X2 Continued...
Start up continued
7) Make sure the area around the compressor is free of debris, flammables and other
items that may block the air flow.
NOTICE: It is best practice to not haul gasoline or other flammables in the
truck bed with the compressor.
WARNING! NEVER store fuel cans, propane tanks, or other flammables
next to the compressor. The compressor and the engine exhaust will get hot
enough to be an ignition source.
NOTICE: NEVER keep the propane tanks for the heat lance on the exhaust
side (passenger side) of the compressor. Secure all propane lines away from
the compressor. NEVER operate the compressor if you smell a propane leak.
8) Make sure the air valve is closed (handle perpendicular to line)
NOTICE: The engines throttle is controlled by system pressure. Leaving
the air valve open to atmosphere during startup will force the engine to run at
higher than recommended speeds before it has properly warmed up.
9) Start the engine by activating the key switch, using the choke as needed. Release
the switch as soon as the engine starts.
NOTICE: Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10 seconds
at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 second cool-down period
between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the
starter motor.
NOTICE: Upon start up a metallic ticking may occur. This is caused by the
hydraulic lifter leak down during storage. Run the engine for 5 minutes. The
noise will normally cease in the first minute. If noise continues, run the engine at
mid throttle for 20 minutes. If noise persists, take the engine to your local Kohler
Service Outlet.
10) If choke was used, gradually return the choke control to the "off" position as the
engine warms up.
NOTICE: Waiting until the unit is set up before starting the compressor reduces
the chance of contact with hot compressor surfaces.

18
Operating the X2 Continued...
During operation
1) Once the engine has warmed up (3 to 5 minutes), open the air valve (handle paral-
lel to the line) and begin work.
2) As work progresses, the truck can be slowly moved (10 MPH or less) as required.
CAUTION! NEVER exceed 10 MPH with the boom extended. To prevent
injury or equipment damage, ALWAYS latch and pin the boom backwards when
heighten speeds are required.
NOTICE: Excessive bumps and potholes should be approached cautious-
ly when the boom is extended.
NOTICE: It is best practice to shut down the compressor anytime speeds
exceeds 10 MPH.
Shutting Down
WARNING! The compressor will be extremely hot from operation. Use care
when shutting it down and working around it to avoid severe burns. Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) such as heat proof gloves are recommended.
1) With the vehicle parked and emergency break engaged, close the air valve on the
compressor.
2) Allow the compressor to run an additional 3 to 5 minutes to cool down, before turn-
ing key to off.
3) Climb up into the vehicle and pull the latch back to release the boom from the for-
ward position and rotate the boom until it latches in the back position.
4) Once in the back position, lift the boom onto the rest and pin it into place.
5) Remove air hose from boom if desired.
6) Open the air valve and all down stream valves to release system pressure. Once
the system has been fully blead, close all valves.
