Moving the Unit to the Installation Site

When a forklift is used to move the unit to its installation site, use forklift slots provided in the side or end of the main frame. Use of chains and slings should be limited to the main frame. Do not attempt to lift the unit by attachment to any components.

!CAUTION

Improper lifting may result in component or system damage or personal injury. Follow good shop practices and safety procedures when moving the compressor.

Receiving

Upon receipt of the compressor, immediately inspect for any visible signs of damage which may have occurred in shipment. If damage is found at the time of delivery, have the delivering carrier make a notation on the freight bill and request a damage report. If the shipment is accepted and it is later found that the compressor unit was damaged, this is classified as concealed damage. If concealed damage is found, report it within 15 days of delivery to the delivering carrier, who must prepare a damage report. Itemized supporting papers are essential to filing a claim.

Read the compressor nameplate to be sure the compressor is the model and size ordered and that optionally ordered items are included.

Check the pressure relief valves to be sure they are adequate for the pressure at which you intend to operate.

Location

Locate the compressor on a level surface, indoors, in a clean, well lit and well ventilated area, free from excessive dust, dripping liquids, hydrocarbons, and toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. Allow sufficient space (four feet of clearance on all sides and top of the compressor) for safe and proper daily inspections and maintenance. The entire length of the base must be supported. Shim where necessary, but do not use wood. Quincy recommends installing closed cell foam between the base and the floor. The machine must be protected against freezing and excessive ambient temperatures. Sheltering from freezing temperatures is mandatory. Ambient temperature should not exceed 110°F (failure to heed this may result in a high air temperature shutdown). For air-cooled units, careful consideration of room size and shape must be done so that hot exhaust air from the fan does not recirculate within the room, causing the operating temperatures to rise. All models are intended for indoor installation.
