DESCRIPTION
& APPLICATION
Quincy single stage compressors are air-cooled and
splash lubricated. It is the installers responsibility
to meet the appropriate codes and regulations for
this type of installation.
INSTALLATION
Quincy air compressors should be operated in a se-
cure upright position and located in an area that is
clean, dry, well lighted, and adequately ventilated.
The compressor belt guard must not be located closer
than 18 inches to a wall, or 24 inches to an other com-
pressor. Additional safety can be achieved by locating
the pulley drive system, with the guard, next to the
wall. Do not allow hot air from additional equipment
to blow towards the compressor.
It is recommended that the compressor be oper-
ated in temperatures under 104°F and over 32°F. In
cold climates, the compressor should be in stalled in
a heated building.
DANGER !
Under no circumstances should a compressor be
used in an area where toxic, volatile, or corrosive
agents are used or stored near the compressor.
Noise
Federal and local laws govern acceptable noise levels;
should a question about noise levels arise, check with
local officials for specifications.
