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
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.
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.

units be mounted as indicated without isolators.
State or local codes may mandate that the
compressor 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
