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). Satisfactory 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 be mounted

fas tened 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 compo nents 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 & com pressor sheaves
must be properly aligned and drive belt tension set to specifica tions (refer to
SECTION 5, Pulley / Sheave Alignment & Belt Tension). Improper pulley/
sheave alignment and belt ten sion can cause motor overloading, excessive
vibration, and prema ture belt and/or bearing failure.
