Quincy Compressor 370

Drain liquid from the air receiver and moisture trap

Turn on cooling water (watercooled units)

Jog the starter button and check compressor rotation

Start compressor per factory instructions

Measure Span Length and Determine Deflection

Measure the span length of the drive (in inches)

Calculate the required deflection (in inches) by multiplying the span length by 0.016

Measure and Adjust Belt Tension

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

Apply pressure with a belt tension gauge at the center of the span 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

For new belts, tension to the maximum value plus 33%

Manually operate the pressure relief valves to ensure they are working

Clean the cooling surfaces of the intercooler

Clean the cooling surfaces of the compressor

Check the compressor for air leaks

Check the compressed air distribution system for leaks

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

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

Ensure the following are in place before starting the compressor

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

Is the lubricant level between the high and low marks on the dipstick after operation?

Was the oil level checked frequently during the 100 hour break-in period?
