Safety Precautions Please follow these safety guidelines for your safety and to extend the lifespan of the equipment: Hot Oil Hazard: Always use safety gear when handling hot oil. We include heatresistant gloves, a protective apron, and safety glasses in your kit. Additionally, always close the BOSS Cover before turning On the pump and whenever the pump is On. Fire Risk: Never leave the equipment unattended during use. Burn Risk: Ensure oil temperature is safe (100°F to 250°F) before draining oil from fryer. Battery Safety: Use only the provided charger. Do not expose the battery to water or extreme heat. Electrical Safety: Ensure the battery is charged and correctly installed before operation. 3. Equipment Components Battery-Powered Pump: Used for both filtering and transferring oil. On/Off Switch: Powers the pump on and off. Rechargeable Battery (2): Powers the pump for filtering and oil transfer. 2 batteries are included in your Kit, so you have a spare battery. Battery Charger: Use to charge the batteries. BOSS Tank: Holds oil when drained from the fryer vat. Basket Filter: Provides initial filtration of larger impurities when draining oil from fryer vat into BOSS tank. Basket Filter Cover: Covers the basket filter and latches to the BOSS Tank. Filter Housing and Canister Filter: Filter Housing contains the stainless-steel canister filter to remove small impurities from the oil. Connector Fitting: Allows the Pump to bypass the Filter Housing and pump directly through the Oil Return Hose and Wand, by connecting the Pump Discharge Hose directly to the Oil Return Hose. Filter Housing Drain Line and Valve: To drain the Filter Housing into BOSS Tank BOSS Cover: Covers the Pump, Filter Housing and associated hose connections. Pump Discharge Hose: One end always connects directly to the Pump. The other end connects to the inlet of the Filter Housing, or it is positioned through the Back Hole and attached to the Oil Return Hose using the Connector Fitting. Oil Return Hose and Wand: Attaches to the Pump or the Filter Housing to direct oil into fryer vat or into recycling dumpsters. 4. Battery Setup and Charging Charging the Battery: o Use the provided charger to fully charge the battery (typically 4-6 hours). The indicator light will signal when the battery is fully charged. Battery Installation: o Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Insert the battery into the slot on the pump unit and secure it in place. Battery Life: o A fully charged battery supports several filtering cycles and oil transfers, depending on oil load and operation time. Low Battery Warning: o If the pump slows or stops during operation, recharge the battery. 5. Preparation Before Filtering Oil (Step #6) or Transferring Used Oil (Step #7) A. Turn Off the Fryer: Switch off the fryer and allow the oil to cool to a safe temperature (100°F to 250°F). B. Set Up the Equipment: a. Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. b. Connect the fryer's oil drainpipe to the fryer's drain valve. c. Position the BOSS near the fryer. C. Safety Precautions: Wear safety gear (heat-resistant gloves, protective apron, safety glasses). D. Inspect Filters are clean: Ensure the Basket Filter and Canister Filter are clean. They can be washed by hand with warm soapy water, and they are dishwasher safe. 6. Operating Instructions for Cleaning Fryer Vat and Filtering Oil Note: Steps A thru H are for Cleaning the Fryer Vat prior to Filtering the Oil A. Drain the Oil from Fryer Vat: a. Ensure the fryer's oil drainpipe is connected to the fryer's drain valve. b. Open BOSS Basket Filter Cover. c. Ensure the Basket Filter is securely in its position in the BOSS Tank. d. Position the BOSS so the fryer's oil drain pipe is positioned to drain into the BOSS Basket Filter. e. Slowly open the fryer's drain valve and allow oil to flow into the Basket Filter unit via the fryer drain pipe. f. You may need to reposition the BOSS Tank to prevent splashing. Note: Picture showing oil draining from fryer into basket filter. g. The Basket Filter will collect the larger particles. If it has been a long time since the fryer has been cleaned, then a substantial amount of residual fried particles may build up within the Basket Filter and cause the oil level to rise within the Basket Filter. If the oil level is rising within the Basket Filter: NOTE: Before the oil reaches the top of the basket filter, close the fryer vat drain valve to stop the flow. Empty the material collected by the Basket Filter into the garbage as needed, reinstall the Filter Basket into the BOSS Tank, and continue to drain the fryer vat. Repeat this step as needed until all oil is drained into the BOSS tank. NOTE: If the fryer vat drain plugs, you will need a tool like a clean out rod to dislodge the debris from the fryer vat drain line and resume draining oil from the fryer vat. B. Remove debris from bottom of fryer If it has been a long time since the fryer vat was cleaned, then a substantial amount of residual fried particles may be on the bottom of the fryer vat. Remove this with a crumb scoop (if unavailable, you might use a large, slotted spoon or tongs) and dispose in garbage. C. Scrub Fryer Vat Scrub the inner surfaces of the fryer vat with a non-abrasive pad or brush to remove residual fried materials sticking to the inner surfaces of the fryer vat. D. Attach Wand Hose to Pump Discharge Hose (to bypass Filter Housing) a. Disconnect the Pump Discharge Hose from the Filter Housing inlet. b. Slide the Pump Discharge Hose out through the Back Hole. Use the Connector Fitting to connect the Pump Discharge Hose directly to the Wand Hose. Note: Pictures showing completion of Step 6. D. E. Place Wand in Fryer Vat. We want the Wand discharge to flow into the fryer vat. F. Activate the Pump: a. Close BOSS Cover. b. Turn on the pump using the On/Off switch. The pump will draw oil from the BOSS tank and pump it out through the Wand, discharging oil. G. Flush Fryer Vat Use pumped oil to wash the inner sides of the fryer vat and flush the remaining debris from fryer vat. H. Monitor Basket Filter NOTE: Observe if debris is building up within the basket filter and causing the oil level to rise within the basket filter. If the oil level is rising within the Basket Filter: Before the oil reaches the top of the basket filter, turn OFF the BOSS Pump and close the fryer vat drain to stop the flow. Empty the material collected by the Basket Filter into the garbage, reinstall the Filter Basket, and re-open the fryer vat drain. Ensure the Wand discharge will flow into the fryer vat. Turn on the BOSS pump. Repeat this step as needed until all debris is flushed from the fryer vat. I. Proceed to Filtration Mode a. Once you have flushed all of the debris from the fryer vat, it is time to move on to the Filtration Mode. b. Turn OFF the BOSS Pump. c. Undo Step D: i. Open BOSS Cover. ii. Disconnect the Wand Hose from the Pump Discharge Hose. iii. Connect the Wand Hose to Filter Housing discharge. iv. Remove Connector Fitting and place in its storage location. v. Connect Pump Discharge Hose to inlet of the Filter Housing. NOTE: Picture showing steps iv.and v. completed and connecting step iii. vi. Close BOSS Cover. vii. Ensure the Filter Housing Drain is closed. viii. Ensure the Wand is placed in the fryer vat. ix. Ensure the fryer vat drain is open. d. Turn ON the BOSS Pump and flush the fryer vat for several seconds with the clean filtered oil. J. Fill Fryer Vat with Filtered Oil: a. Close the fryer vat drain valve and fill the vat with clean filtered oil discharged by the BOSS Wand. Continue until BOSS tank is empty and oil stops flowing from the BOSS Wand. Note: Picture showing step J NOTE: If you observe oil in the BOSS tank and slowing flow from the Wand, this probably indicates the Canister Filter is plugged and needs to be cleaned: Installing a Clean Canister Filter: i. Turn OFF the BOSS pump. ii. Open drain valve underneath the Filter Housing to empty oil from the Filter Housing. Close drain valve. iii. Open BOSS Cover. iv. Open lid of Filter Housing and remove Canister Filter. v. Install clean Canister Filter and close lid of the Filter Housing. Ensure drain valve under Filter Housing is closed. vi. Close BOSS Cover. vii. Ensure BOSS Wand will discharge into Fryer Vat. viii. Turn ON the BOSS Pump. Flow should resume from the Wand. 7. Transferring Used Oil to Dumpster A. Turn Off the Fryer and Cool Oil: Ensure the fryer is OFF, and the oil is at a safe temperature (100°F - 250°F). B. Attach Wand Hose Directly to Pump (bypass Filter Housing) see pictures Step 6. D. a. Open BOSS Cover. b. Slide the Pump Discharge Hose out through the Back Hole. Use the Connector Fitting to connect the Pump Discharge Hose directly to the Wand Hose. c. Close BOSS Cover. C. Prepare for Oil Transfer: Place the Wand into the designated oil recycling container or dumpster. D. Empty Filter Housing Open drain at bottom of Filter Housing to drain oil from Filter Housing into BOSS Tank. E. Activate the Pump: Turn ON the pump using the On/Off switch. The pump will now draw the used oil from the BOSS Tank and pump it into the dumpster. F. Monitor the Transfer: Keep an eye on the oil flow to ensure that all oil is transferred efficiently without spills. Adjust hose positioning if necessary. G. Complete Transfer: Once all oil has been transferred, switch OFF the pump. 8.
