•Be sure that all tools, shipping and installation debris have been removed from the compressor and installation site prior to starting the compressor. Do not operate a Quincy Compressor in excess of 250 PSIG unless it WARNING ! has been tested and certified for high pressure application by Quincy Compressor prior to shipment.
Quincy Compressor neither states as fact, nor in any way implies that the above list of safety precautions is an all inclusive list, the observance of which will prevent all damage to property or injury to personnel.
SECTION 2 SYSTEM DYNAMICS SYSTEM DYNAMICS SYSTEM DYNAMICS Description & Applica- tion The Quincy Compressor QR-25 Series consists of heavy duty industrial, belt driven, single or two stage compressors. Single stage compressors are capable of delivering up to 100 PSIG con- tinuously.
Fan blades of the compressor sheave force ambient air across fins of the cylinder head(s), and intercooler fins of two stage compressors, to cool the compressor. QR-25 series compressors are normally set up at the factory with a sheave that turns in a counterclockwise rotation. For special applications, clockwise rotation compressor sheaves are available as optional equipment on some models.
When the demand is satisfied, the unit stops. Control Versions Various control versions are available for the model QR-25 series compres- sors. The control version required is determined by how frequent there is UNLOADER TOWERS a demand for compressed air.
*1, 2, or 4 unloader towers are employed depending upon the model of compressor. **Maximum continuous pressure is indicated on left side, maximum intermittent high pressure on right side. †High pressure basics required for pressures above 250 PSIG & DNV certified applications.

The successful and efficient operation of compressor equipment depends largely upon the amount of care taken to install and maintain the equipment. Quincy Compressor strongly recommends that any or all person(s) in charge of install- ing, maintaining, or servicing one of our compressors read and understand the entire contents of this manual in order to perform such duties safely and efficiently.
Noise is a potential health hazard that must be considered. There are federal and local laws governing acceptable noise levels. Check with local officials for specifications. QR-25 Series Quincy Compressor 52201-105, May 2003 3501 Wismann Lane, Quincy IL - 62305-3116...
Mounting Proper mounting of 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). Satisfac- tory results can usually be obtained by mounting the compressor unit on vibration isolating pads available from your local Quincy Distributor.
29 CFR 1910.219 in OSHA manual 2206 and any state or local codes. Guards must be fastened in place before starting the compressor WARNING ! and never removed before cutting off and locking out the main power supply.
