Quincy Compressor 108

Record oil level on bayonet gauge

Is the oil level between the high and low marks?

Is the oil discolored or contaminated?

Drain and replace oil if contaminated

Drain drop legs and traps in air distribution system

Perform overall visual inspection of the compressor

Disconnect & lockout the compressor from the power source (electric models) or disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug (gas engine models).

Is the compressor stored in a heated area if subjected to freezing temperatures?

Enter the current air pressure in the tank (PSIG)

Is the air pressure in the tank 30 PSIG or less?

Open the drain valve to allow the moisture and air mixture to drain from the tank.

Close the drain valve once the moisture has been completely drained.

Measure the span length of the drive (in inches)

Calculate the required deflection (in inches)

Lay a straightedge across the top outer surface of the drive belt from pulley to sheave

Apply pressure with a belt tension gauge and record the deflection force reading

Is the deflection force reading within the minimum and maximum values?

Adjust the belt(s) if the deflection force reading is not within the specified range

Calculate the initial tension for new belts

Ensure the following are in place before starting the compressor

Replace break-in lubricant after 100 hours of operation or 1 month

Enter the crankcase oil capacity for your model

Enter the viscosity of the lubricant to use

Is the lubricant's pour point at least 15°F lower than the minimum expected ambient temperature?

Drain liquid from the air receiver and moisture trap

Turn on cooling water for water-cooled units

Jog the starter button and check compressor rotation

Describe any issues with compressor rotation

Prepare continuous run units for starting by adjusting the pilot valve

Start compressor per factory instructions
