Efficiency and safety are the primary concerns when selecting components
for compressed air systems. Products of inferior qual ity can not only hinder
performance of the unit, but could cause sys tem 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
Drive pulleys must be properly aligned and drive belt tension set to specifica-
tions (refer to SECTION 5, •Pulley / Sheave Alignment & Belt Tension).
Improper pulley alignment and belt tension can cause motor overloading,
excessive vibration, and premature belt and/or bearing failure.
Excessive compressor RPM's (speed) could cause a pulley to shat-
ter. In an instant, the pulley could separate into fragments capable
of penetrating the belt guard and causing bodily harm or death. Do
not operate the compressor above the recommended RPM (refer to
SECTION 2, •Specifications).
