Eastwood QST-80 Instructions Manual page 6

• Check Oil Level – The Scroll Compressor is shipped with the correct
amount of Scroll Compressor Oil, however the oil level should be verified
as it is extremely critical to the function of the Scroll.
If the oil level is found to be low, check all lines, fittings, oil
reservoir and heat exchanger for any signs of leakage from
shipping damage before continuing.
- View the Sight Gauge on the side of the Oil Reservoir to make sure
that it reads FULL (at or above the "M" line but not above the
"H" line (FIG 5).
- If the oil level is below the "M" line, oil must be added.
- If needed, remove the Fill Plug form the Oil Reservoir with a 22mm
wrench (not included) and add #31718 Eastwood Scroll Compressor Oil
to the fill port of the Oil Reservoir using a suitable funnel (FIG 6).
- Check the condition of the seal then replace Oil Fill Plug and tighten
securely.
• Check Air Filter – Clean, filtered intake air is vital to the life of the Scroll
as it is machined to extremely close tolerances.
- Check that the Cover on the Air Filter is latched correctly and hasn't
vibrated loose in shipment. The two molded in arrows on the base and
lid should be aligned (FIG 7).
AIR LINE CONNECTION
The Eastwood Elite QST-80/120 Scroll Compressor is
designed to be used with a minimum external 60 Gallon
Air Tank and a 3/4" Flexible Air Line with 3/4" NPT input
and output threads.
To utilize the maximum performance from the Compressor, it is strongly recom-
mended to use 3/4" or larger air lines and fittings throughout your system.
The use of 3/8" or smaller lines and fittings will greatly hamper performance.
In order to protect valuable air tools and equipment and prevent contamina-
tion, it is strongly advisable to use a suitable, high efficiency Air Regulator
(not included) and Moisture/Oil Separator (not included) in a well-planned
air line layout.
