SECTION 4
START UP & OPERATION
•Pre-starting Checklist
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not
operating. It could restart at any time. Follow all safety precau-
tions outlined in SECTION 5,
•Stopping For Maintenance.
Failure to perform the pre-starting checklist may result in me-
chanical failure, property damage , serious injury or even death.
Steps 1 through 12 should be performed prior to connecting the unit
to a power source.
If any condition of the checklist is not satisfied, make the
necessary adjustments or corrections before starting the compressor.
Step 1)
Remove all installation tools from the compressor; check for instal-
lation debris.
Step 2)
Quincy Climate Control compressor units are normally
shipped with lubricant in the crankcase.
Once the compres-
sor is in a level position, pull the dipstick from the crankcase and
wipe clean. Re-insert completely to mea sure lubricant level. Pull
the dipstick again and read the lubricant level. It should register
between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If needed,
add lubricant per specs -
Do Not Overfill!
