CAUTION !
QT/QTS Series
2022208700, September 2018
Never use gasoline, thinners, or other flammable solutions to clean
valves or related parts.
Before starting your compressor, check the lubricant level in the crankcase. The
lubricant level of QT-5, QT-7.5 and QT-10 compressors must be kept at the top of
the sightglass. The lubricant
level of QTS-3, QTS-5, QT-
15 & QT-54 compressors
must register between the
high and low marks on the
dipstick. Replace the break-
in lubricant supplied with
the compressor after 100
hours of operation with
Quin-Cip-D or Quin-Cip
lubricant.
Quin-Cip-D and Quin-Cip lubricants have proven under extensive testing
to min imize friction and wear, limit lubricant carryover, and reduce carbon
and varnish deposits. They will support the performance characteristics and
life designed into all Quincy compressors and are highly rec ommended. Refer
to the charts below to determine the correct amount of lubricant and viscosity
to use for your model and applica tion.
