Quincy QSF Series Instruction Manual page 15

This compressor should not be operated in temperatures below 32 °F or
above the limits outlined in the technical data section.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from other compressors or heat generating equipment
may be drawn into the unit. Never restrict the flow of exhaust air from the fluid cooler. The heated
exhaust air must be exhausted to the outside to prevent high ambient conditions in the room. If the
room is not properly ventilated, the compressor operating temperatures will increase and cause the high
temperature probe to shut the unit off.
Clean, fresh air of sufficient quantity is required for proper compressor
operation.
Never locate the compressor system inlet where it can ingest toxic, volatile
or corrosive vapors, air temperatures exceeding 110° F, water or extremely
dirty air. Taking in any of the above would jeopardize the performance of
the equipment or pose a health hazard to all personnel exposed to the total
compressed air system.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing the compressor in a basement or other damp locations. Control
the compressor temperatures and monitor compressor fluid for signs of water contamination. Fluid and
filter changes may need to be increased in high humidity areas. Increased operating temperatures may
be required.
Removal or modification of sound insulation will result in high sound levels
which may be hazardous to personnel.
The Quincy QSF models are essentially vibration free; however, some customers may choose to bolt the
unit to the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or electrical connections as a result of
being bumped. Only use lag bolts to locate the unit. Do not pull the bolts down tight as this may,
under certain circumstances, place the frame in a twist or bind causing eventual breakage of fluid
coolers, piping and reservoirs.
