•Do not operate the unit with any of its safety guards, shields, or screens
removed.
•Do not remove or paint over any DANGER!, WARNING!, CAUTION!, or
instructional materials attached to the compressor. Lack of information re-
garding hazardous conditions can cause property damage or personal injury.
•Periodically check all pressure relief valves for proper operation.
•Do not change the pressure setting of the pressure relief valve, restrict the
function of the pressure relief valve, or replace the pressure relief valve with
a plug.
•Do not install a shutoff valve in the compressor discharge line without first
installing a pressure relief valve of proper size and design between the shutoff
valve and the compressor.
•Do not use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or lead-tin soldered joints in any part of
the compressed air system.
•Alterations must not be made to this compressor without Quincy Compressor’s

from the compressor and installation site prior to starting the compressor.
•Do not operate the compressor in excess of the ASME pressure vessel rating
for the receiver or the service rating of the compressor, whichever is lower.
•Make a general overall inspection of the unit daily and correct any unsafe
situations. All fasteners must be kept tight.
•Reckless behaviour of any kind involving compressed air is dangerous and
can cause very serious injury to the participants.
•Provisions should be made to have the instruction manual readily available
to the operator and maintenance personnel. If for any reason any part of the
manual becomes illegible or the manual is lost, have it replaced immediately.
The instruction manual should be read periodically to refresh one’s memory. It
may prevent a serious or fatal accident.

Air used for breathing or food processing must meet OSHA 29 CFR

cause severe injury or death.

precautions and procedures outlined in this manual may result in serious
personal injury, damage to property, and may void your warranty. Quincy
