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). Satis-
factory results can usually be obtained by mounting horizontal tank units on
vibration isolators available from your local Quincy distributor. All vertical
tank units must be anchored! Quincy recommends that all vertical tank

Units mounted to truck beds should be fastened in such a way so as not to
create any stress to the air receiver tank. Truck beds, characteristically, have
a tendency to flex and could cause damage to the receiver tank if the tank is
fastened directly to the truck bed. It is the User's responsibility to provide an
adequate means of fas tening the unit in these applica tions.
Do not operate this compressor more than 15° off level or move it
while it is operating.
Efficiency and safety are the primary concerns when selecting compo nents
for compressed air systems. Products of inferior quality can not only hinder
performance of the unit, but could cause system failures that result in bodily
harm or even death. Select only top quality components for your system. Call
your local Quincy distributor for quality parts and professional advice.
Drive Pulleys / Sheaves
Various pulley and sheave combinations are available to obtain the de sired air
pressure and delivery rate of your compressor. Consideration must be given
to these combinations to ensure that the motor is not over loaded by operating
above or below the designed speed range.
Whatever combination is employed, the drive pulleys & compressor sheaves
must be properly aligned and drive belt tension set to specifications (refer to
SECTION 5, Pulley / Sheave Alignment & Belt Tension). Improper pul-
ley/sheave alignment and belt tension can cause motor overloading, excessive
vibration, and prema ture belt and/or bearing failure.
