SECTION 3 INSTALLATION
Receiving Delivery
Immediately upon receipt of compressor equipment and prior to completely
uncrating, the following steps should be taken:
Step 1) Inspect compressor equipment for damage that may have occurred
during shipment. If any damage is found, de mand an inspection
from the carrier. Ask the carrier how to file a claim for shipping
damages. (Refer to SECTION 3, Freight Damage for complete
details.) Shipping damage is not covered by Quincy Com-
pressor warranty.
Step 2)
Insure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving
the compressor equipment.
Improper lifting can result in component or system damage, or
personal injury. Follow good shop practices and safety procedures
when moving the unit.
Step 3) Read the compressor nameplate to verify the model and size or-
dered.
Step 4) Read the motor nameplate to verify that the volt, phase and hertz
ratings are the same as the electrical power supply connecting to
the motor. NOTE: Do not use a triple voltage (115/208-230)
single-phase motor or (208-230/460) 3-phase motor for 208
volts or lower. Use a 200 volt or 208 volt motor only.
Step 5) Read the pressure relief valve nameplate to be sure it does not
exceed the working pressure shown on the compressor or any other
component in the system.
Step 6) Read and understand the safety precautions contained
within this manual. The successful and efficient operation of
compressor equipment depends largely upon the amount of care
taken to install and maintain the equipment. Quincy Compressor
strongly recommends that any or all person(s) in charge of install-
ing, maintaining, or servic ing one of our compressors read and
understand the entire contents of this manual in order to perform
such duties safely and efficiently.
Freight Damage
It is extremely important that you examine every carton and crate as soon as
you receive it. If there is any obvious damage to the shipping container, have
the delivering carrier sign the freight bill, noting the apparent damage, and
request a damage report.
If concealed damage is discovered at a later date, the carrier must
be notified within 15 days of initial receipt of freight. Concealed ship-
ping damage is not covered by Quincy Compressor Warranty. Contact
the carrier as soon as possible, giving them an opportunity to inspect the ship-
