Air Cleaner; Fluid Level; Compressor Rotation; Fan Rotation - Quincy Compressor QMA Series Instruction Manual

Air Cleaner
!wA~JNG!
Never locate the compressor inlet system where it
can ingest toxic, volatile or corrosive vapors, air
temperatures exceeding 110 degrees F, water or
extremely dirty air. Taking in any of the above
could jeopardize the performance of the
equipment or pose a health hazard to aII
personnel exposed to the total compressed air
system.
Clean air is essential for your Quincy QMA
compressor. Always select a source providing the
cleanest air possible. When an outside air source is
used, keep all piping as short and direct as possible.
Use a vibration isolator and support all piping correctly.
Piping size should beat least as large as the inlet valve
opening, increasing several sizes for extremely long
piping runs. The piping must be leak free and
absolutely clean after fabrication.
Fluid Level
The compressor is filled at the factory with the correct
amount of QUINSW fluid. The fluid level is
monitored while in operation by observing the fluid
sight gauge located on the side of the air/fluid reservoir
tank. Fluid level should completely fill the sight
gauge when the compressor is operating. Do not
overfUl as the excess fluid will carry over into the plant
Briefly jog the starter button allowing the motor to turn
2 or 3 revolutions. Observe the drive element for
correct direction. If incorrect rotation is obsened, lmk
out power supply and reverse electrical leads L 1 and L2
on starter.
Fan Rotation (air-cooled only)
At the same time compressor rotation is checked, also
check fm rotation. Fan air flow should be inward, that
is, pulling air from the side opening into the cabinet
and pushing the air up through the cooler.
air distribution system.
Compressor Rotation
!WA_RN~G!
Operating this compressor in reverse rotation
will cause extreme damage to the compressor.
" WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED"
~ompressor rotation must be checked prior to
start-up. Proper rotation is counter clockwise as
viewed from the power input end on QMA
50/50H160 & 75. The correct rotation on the QMA
100/125 & 150 is clockwise as viewed from the power
input end. The power input end of the compressor is
marked with an arrow noting the proper rotation.
FaiIure to operate the compressor with correct
rotation will result in extreme damage to the
compressor and warranty coverage will be voided.
