QP Series Quincy Compressor

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.
Proper mounting of QP series compressor units is
crucial to the safe operation and longevity of the
equipment. The installation requires a at and level
concrete oor or pad (for mobile units see Mount-
ing 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. 3-8, Isolator Installation
for Unanchored or Anchored Receivers. Quincy
recommends that all vertical tank units be mounted
as indicated without isolators.
State or local codes may mandate that the compres-
sor be bolted to the oor. 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 ex 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.
Drive Pulleys / Sheaves
Various pulley and sheave combinations are available to obtain the de sired air
pressure and delivery rate of your compressor. Consideration must be given
