1.15, the overload relay setting must be adjusted to compensate. Contact your
Quincy distributor for assistance.
Overload relays are designed to protect the motor from damage
due to motor overload. If the overload relay trips persistently, DO
NOT CONTINUE TO PUSH THE RESET BUTTON! Contact your lo-
cal Quincy distributor for assistance.
Mounting
The compressor unit must be removed from the shipping skid prior
to operation.
Properly mounting Quincy compressor units is crucial
to the safe operation and longevity of the equipment.
The installation requires a flat and level concrete
floor or pad (for mobile units see Mounting Mobile
Units). Satisfactory results can usually be obtained by
mounting horizontal tank units on vibration isolating
pads available from your local Quincy distributor. All
vertical tank units must be anchored! Refer to
Fig. 3-16, Isolator Installation for Unanchored
or Anchored Receivers. Quincy recommends that
all vertical tank units be mounted as indicated with-
out isolators.
State or local codes may mandate that the compres-
sor be bolted to the floor. In this case the unit must
be leveled and bolted making absolutely certain the
feet are not stressed in any manner. Leave the locknut loose! Uneven feet
drawn tightly to the concrete pad will cause severe vibrations resulting in
cracked welds or fatigue failure. The customer is responsible for pro viding a
suitable foundation & isolator mounting where necessary.
Mounting Mobile Units
Gas engine driven compressors mounted to truck beds should be fas tened
in such a way so as not to create any stress to the air receiver tank. Truck
beds, characteristically, have a tendency to flex and could cause damage to
the receiver tank if the tank is fastened directly to the truck bed. It is the
user’s responsibility to provide an adequate means of fas tening the unit in
these applica tions.
Do not operate this compressor more than 15° off level or move it
while it is operating.
System components
Efficiency and safety are the primary concerns when selecting compo nents
for compressed air systems. Products of inferior quality can not only hinder
performance of the unit, but could cause system failures that result in bodily
harm or even death. Select only top quality compo nents for your system. Call
your local Quincy distributor for quality parts and professional advice.
