Lubrication
QT and PLT Series basic compressors and units are normally shipped
from the factory
with break-in lubricant in the crankcase . Before
starting your compressor, check the lubricant level in the crankcase. The
lubricant level of QT-5, PLT-5, QT-7.5, PLT-7.5, QT-10 & PLT-15 compressors
must reach the bottom edge of the lubricant fill opening. The lubricant level of
QT-15, QT-25 & QT-54 compressors must register between the high and low
marks on the dipstick.
Replace the break-in lubricant after 100 hours of
operation with Quin- Cip lubricant!
Quin- Cip lubricant has proven under extensive testing to minimize friction
and wear, limit lubricant carryover, and reduce carbon and varnish deposits. It
will support the performance characteristics and life designed into all Quincy
compressors and is highly recommended. Refer to the charts below to deter-
mine the correct amount of lubricant and viscosity to use for your model and
application.
