Starting The Compressor; Stopping The Compressor; Emergency - Quincy QSI-90 Instruction Manual

Starting the Compressor

♦
Secure all enclosure panels on
compressor.
♦
Open the service valve to the plant air
distribution system.
♦
Select the mode of operation and start
the compressor.
♦
Watch for excessive vibration, unusual
noises or air/fluid leaks. If anything
unusual develops, stop the compressor
immediately and correct the condition.

Stopping the Compressor

Normal Operation
Close the service valve to the plant air
distribution system. Allow the pressure
to build within the reservoir and the
compressor to fully unload. Press the stop
button.
NOTICE!
Always close the service valve when
the compressor is not being used to
prevent the system's air pressure from
leaking back into the compressor if the
check valve leaks or fails.
Section IV - Operating Procedures
♦
Control settings have been adjusted at
the factory; however, they should be
checked during start-up and readjusted,
if necessary. Some applications may
require a slightly different setting than
those provided by the factory. Refer to
Section VI - Servicing. Never increase
air pressure settings beyond factory
specifications.
♦
Observe compressor operation closely
for the first hour of operation and
frequently for the next seven hours.
Stop and correct any noted problems.

the power at the main disconnect switch or
