DESCRIPTION
& APPLICA TION
Air Master Series single stage compressors are aircooled and splash lubricated. It is the installers
responsibility to meet the appropriate codes and
regulations for this type of installation.
INSTALLATION
Air Master Series air compressors should be operated in a secure upright position and located in an
area that is clean, dry, well lighted, and adequately
ventilated. The compressor belt guard must not be
located closer than 18 inches to a wall, or 24 inches to
an other compressor. Additional safety can be achieved
by locating the pulley drive system, with the guard,
next to the wall. Do not allow hot air from additional
equipment to blow towards the compressor.
It is recommended that the compressor be operated in temperatures under 104°F and over 32°F. In
cold climates, the compressor should be in stalled in
a heated building.
DANGER !
Air used for breathing or food processing must meet
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 or FDA 21 CFR 178.3570
regula tions. Failure to do so may cause severe injury
or death.
The owner, lessor or operator of any compressor
unit sold by Quincy Compressor is hereby warned that
failure to ob serve the safety precautions and procedures outlined in this manual may result in serious
1312100602, September 2012 2 3501 Wisman Lane, Quincy IL - 62305-3116
DANGER !
Under no circumstances should a compressor be
used in an area where toxic, volatile, or corrosive
agents are used or stored near the compressor.
Noise
Federal and local laws govern acceptable noise levels;
should a question about noise levels arise, check with
local ocials for specications.

CAUTION !
Unusual noise or vibration indi cates a problem. Do
not operate the compressor un til the source has
been identi ed and corrected by a qualied technician.
WARNING !
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on
just be cause it is not operating. It could restart at
any time. Fol low all safety precautions outlined in
MAINTENANCE.
Electrical Information
The installation, electric motor, wiring, and all electrical controls must be in accordance with Na tional
Electric Code, National Electric Safety Code, Canadian Electric Code, state and local codes. Failure
to abide by the na tional, state and local codes may
result in physical harm and/or property damage. All
electrical connections must be performed by a qualied electrician. Note: This unit must be grounded.
CAUTION !
Verify all wires are secure
and fasteners are torqued
before connecting power to
the unit.
Connect 230 Volt Power Here
Overload Relay Protection
(if so equipped)
An overload relay will stop the unit if the motor
becomes overheated. (Causes for overheating of the
motor can be found in TROUBLESHOOTING.) Once
the overload relay has been tripped, the motor must
cool and the red overload button on the motor must
be reset be fore the unit will start.
CAUTION !
Overload relays are designed to protect the motor
from damage due to motor overload. If the overload
relay trips persistently, DO NOT CONTINUE T O PUSH
THE RESET BUTTON! Contact your local Quincy
distributor for assistance.
Extension Cords (portable units)
To avoid power loss and overheating of the motor, use
of additional air hose is recommended rather than
an exten sion cord. If an extension cord is to be used,
it must be a 3 wire cord with a 3 prong plug. Refer
to the following chart to determine the wire gauge
required in relation to the cord length:
Cord Length Wire Gauge Size
up to 25 ft. 14-12 ga.
up to 100 ft. 10 ga.
Connect Ground Wire to Ground Screw
Do not operate this compressor more than 10° off
level or move it while it is running.

CAUTION !
Mounting Stationary Units
Some Air Master compressors are equipped with
an electrical supply cord. Do not modify the cord!
If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the correct
outlet installed by a certied electrician.
Air Master compressors not equipped with a power
cord must be wired in accordance with the NEC and
all state and local codes and ordinances (see Fig. 1).
DANGER !
High voltage may cause personal injury or death.
Dis connect and lockout/tagout per OSHA regulation
1910.147 all electrical power supplies before opening
the electrical enclosure or servicing.
1312100602, September 2012 3 3501 Wisman Lane, Quincy IL - 62305-3116
Proper mounting of Air Master compressor units
is crucial to the safe operation and longevity of the
equipment.
WARNING!
The compressor unit must be removed from the
shipping skid prior to installation.
The installation requires a flat and level concrete
floor or pad. All vertical stationary tank units
must be anchored! Quincy recommends that all
vertical tank units be mounted as indicated without
isolators ( See Fig. 2).
State or local codes may mandate that the com-
pressor be bolted to the floor. In this case the unit

Check valves are designed to allow air to ow freely in
one direction only. A properly sized check valve must
be provided. Do not rely on a check valve to isolate a
com pressor from a pressur ized tank or com pressed
air delivery system dur ing maintenance proce dures.
Pressure Regulator
This type of valve allows the operator to control the
air pressure setting of the compressor discharge. A
gauge is provided to indi cate the air pressure.
Fig. 2
Anchoring Vertical Tank Units
must be leveled and bolted making absolutely certain
the feet are not stressed in any manner. Leave the
locknut loose! Uneven feet drawn tightly to the
concrete pad will cause severe vibrations resulting
in cracked welds or fatigue failure. The customer is
responsible for pro viding a suitable foundation &
isolator mounting where necessary.
The compressed air supply line from the tank of
a stationary unit must be equipped with a pressure
and temperature rated exible connection.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Drive Pulleys / Flywheels
Drive pulleys and compressor ywheels must be properly aligned and tensioned to specications. Refer to
Belt Alignment & Adjustment.
WARNING !
Excessive compressor RPM’s could cause a pulley
or ywheel to shatter, possi bly causing bodily harm
or death. Do not operate the compressor above
the rec om mended RPM. (Refer to DESCRIPTION &
APPLICA TION).
Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure relief valves aid in preventing system failures by relieving system pressure when com pressed
air reaches a predetermined pressure level. All air
receivers must be equipped with an adequately sized
pressure relief valve. This type of valve is preset by the
manufacturer and must not be modi ed in any way.
Pressure relief valves are to be placed ahead of
any po tential blockage point which includes, but not
limited to, shutoff valves, heat exchangers, pulsation dampeners, and discharge silencers. Ideally the
pressure relief valve should be threaded directly into
the pressure point it is sensing, not connected with
tubing or pipe, and always pointed away from any
chance bystander.
WARNING !
Pressure relief valves must be pro vided to protect
com pressed air systems in ac cordance with ASME
B19 safety standards. Failure to provide properly
sized pres sure relief valves may cause property
damage, severe per sonal injury or even death.
WARNING!
Do not use plastic pipe (PVC) anywhere in a compressed air system. Serious injury or death could
result.
Guards
Guards must be designed and mounted in compliance with OSHA safety and health standards 29
CFR 1910.219 in OSHA manual 2206, and any state
or local codes. They must provide protection from
moving parts while still al lowing full air flow for
cooling purposes.
WARNING !
Guards must be fastened in place before starting
the com pressor. Always disconnect and lockout
the power supply to the unit before removing the
guard.
Quincy Compressor

Compressor Controls
Start/Stop
Electric motor powered units are equipped with a
pressure switch as standard equipment for start/
stop operation. The pressure switch (when set to the
“auto” position) re acts to the demand for compressed
air and allows the motor to start. When the de mand is
satisfied, the unit stops. Pressure switches pro vided
by Quincy Compressor are preset at the factory and
should only be modified by a qualified technician.
Pressure switches equipped with an OFF/AUTO knob
(refer to Fig.4) should be set to the “OFF” position
Page 6
when connecting or disconnecting the power cord
from the electrical outlet or when changing air tools.
This system provides a loadless start feature. A
release valve on the pressure switch opens when
the unit shuts down and bleeds off pressure in the
discharge line. The check valve holds pressure in
the tank.
WARNING !
Follow ASME code for air receiver tanks and other
pressure containing vessels. Pressure vessels must
not be mod ied, welded on, or re paired. Such actions may cause property dam age, se vere injury,
or even death. Always replace worn, cracked or
damaged tanks.
Air Intake
A clean, cool, dry, air supply is essential to the satisfactory operation of your Air Master compressor.
WARNING !
Never locate the compressor where toxic, volatile
or cor rosive vapors, air tempera tures exceeding
104°F , wa ter, or extremely dirty air could be ingested.
The compressor could be damaged by these atmospheres and result in in jury or death.
When using the compressor for spray painting,
isolate the compressor as far away from the work
area as practical, employing extra air hose rather
than an extension cord.
Warranty will be void if a failure is determined to
be caused by dust, dirt or other contaminants.
Compressed Air Discharge System
All parts of the discharge piping should t so as not to
create any stress between the piping and connections.
WARNING !
Discharge piping can exceed 350°F when compressor is operating. Do not use plastic pipe or lead tin
soldered joints for a discharge line.
Pressure Vessels
Air receiver tanks and other pressure contain ing
vessels must be equipped with a properly sized pressure re lief valve, pressure gauge, and a tank drain.
Manual Tank Drain Valve Operation
The manual tank drain valve on portable compressors and some stationary compressors is located on
the underside of the air tank. Portable compressors
can be tilted in the direction of the drain to allow
removal of tank moisture.
Safe removal of tank moisture from the tank is
dependent upon an internal tank pressure of 20 to
30 PSIG. Higher tank pressures are dangerous and
could cause serious injury!
WARNING!
Do not open a manual tank drain valve on any air
tank containing more than 30 PSIG of air pressure!
WARNING!
Never attempt to relieve an air tank by removing a
pipe plug or any other system component!
Manually Draining An Air Tank:
Tank(s) subjected to freezing temperatures may
contain ice. Store the compressor in a heated area
before attempting to drain moisture from the tank(s).
Step 1) Disconnect and lockout the compressor from
the power source.
Step 2) Reduce the air pressure in the tank to 30
PSIG by pulling the pressure relief valve
ring (see Fig. 3).
WARNING!
Oil and moisture residue must be drained from the
air receiver daily or after each use. Accumulations
of oil residue in the receiver can be ignited by embers of carbon created by the heat of compression,
causing an explosion, damage to property and injury
to personnel.

Step 3) Position yourself so that the moisture and
air to be expelled can not cause you harm.
Page 7
Step 4) Slowly open the drain valve and allow the
moisture and air mixture to drain from the
tank.
Step 5) Once the moisture has been completely
drained, close the drain valve.
Air Tank Inspection
Quincy Compressor recommends that all air tanks
be inspected at scheduled intervals. Refer to Fig. 4
Recommended Air Tank Inspection Intervals for
relative information. Measure tank wall thickness at
several locations, including the lowest point where
condensation can accumulate.
Step 3)
Be sure all guards are in place and securely
mounted. (Refer to SYSTEM COMPONENTS)
Step 4) Check all hoses and ttings for weak or worn
conditions and replace if necessary.
Step 5) Check fuses, circuit breakers, and overload
relays for proper sizes.
Step 6) Open the tank drain valve in the bottom of
the tank.

Step 6) To stop the compressor, turn the OFF/AUTO
knob to the “OFF” position. Carefully unplug
the power cord from the power source or turn
o the power supply.
MAINTENANCE
The following procedures should be performed when
stopping the compressor for maintenance or service:
Step 1) Prior to performing any maintenance or
repair, always turn the OFF/AUTO knob to
the "OFF" position and per OSHA regulation
1910.147, disconnect and lockout/tagout the
main power source. Then, isolate the compressed air supply by closing and locking
out a manual shutoff valve upstream and
downstream from the compressor. Display a
sign in clear view at the main power source
and at the shutoff valve stating that the
compressor is being serviced.
Step 2) Completely relieve the system of air pres-
sure by pulling the ring on a pressure relief
valve. Continue to pull the ring until all air
pressure escapes. (Refer to Fig. 3)
Step 3) Slowly open all manual drain valves within
the area to be serviced.
Step 4) Wait for the unit to cool before starting to
ser vice.
Maintenance Schedule
If the unit is used in an excessively dirty or dusty
envi ronment, check and perform all maintenance
procedures more often.
After First 100 Hours or First Month of Operation
(whichever occurs rst)
• Replace break-in lubricant (Refer to LUBRICATION).
Daily
• Maintain lubricant level to be visible in the
center of the sight glass. Discolored lubricant
or a higher lubricant level reading may indicate
the presence of condensed liquids. (Refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING.)
• Drain the air tank, drop legs and moisture traps
in air distribution system. Tank(s) subjected to
freezing temperatures may contain ice. Store the
compressor in a heated area before attempting to
drain moisture from the tank(s). Never attempt
to drain these components without rst relieving
the system pressure.
• Give compressor overall visual inspection and be
sure safety guards are in place.
• Check for any unusual noise or vibration.
1312100602, September 2012 7 3501 Wisman Lane, Quincy IL - 62305-3116
Weekly
• Pull on the ring of the pressure relief valves
to make sure they are operating correctly. Air
pressure should escape when the ring is pulled
(refer to Fig. 3).
• Check all pressurized components for rust, cracking or leaking. Immediately discontinue use of
the equipment and relieve all system pressure
if any of these problems are discovered. Do not
use the equipment until it has been inspected
and repaired by a qualied mechanic.
• Clean the exterior surfaces of the compressor.
• Check the air lter and replace if necessary.
• Check system for air &/or lubricant leaks.
Monthly
• Check belt tension.
• Check ywheel retaining bolt.
Every 3 Months (or every 300* hrs.)
• Change lubricant. Use a compressor grade non-
detergent lubricant.
Lubrication
Before starting this compressor, check the lubricant
level. It should register 1/2 way to slightly above in
the sightglass. Add lubricant to the crankcase through
the crankcase oil ll / breather port. Do not overll.
Approximate Crankcase Lubricant Capacity
Q12120P & Q12126VP = .86 qts. (.817 lit.)
Q13160V = 1.12 qts. (1.06 lit.)
A non-detergent SAE 40 weight lubricant may be
used in your compressor. Detergent lubricants are
not recommended because they have a tendency to
foam when used in compressors.
Condensation
Rust can form inside the crankcase and on internal
com ponents as a result of condensation. A compressor
must operate long enough during each run cycle to
reach full operating temperature in order to reduce
the risk of condensation.
CAUTION!
Lubricant that appears milky on the dipstick may
have mixed with condensate. Failure to replace
contaminated lubricant will result in damage to the
compressor and may void warranty.
Condensation can also form in the air tank of your
com pressor. When this happens, a mixture of air and
mois ture will be expelled through the service valve
and into what ever is connected to the valve (e.g. air
hoses, metal air lines, pneumatic tools, spray guns).
Quincy Compressor
Page 9
An in-line filter or dryer, available from your local
Quincy distributor, may be re quired to eliminate
the moisture.
Condensation in the air tank can be kept to a
mini mum by draining the tank on a daily basis.
This also reduces the risk of rust developing and
weak ening the tank.
Belt Alignment & Adjustment
Drive belts tend to stretch with normal use and
require adjustment periodically (check monthly). In
order to adjust the drive belt the belt guard must
be removed. Prior to re moving the belt guard, follow
the procedures outlined under MAINTENANCE.
Properly adjusted, a 3 pound pressure applied to
the belt between the motor pulley and the compressor
ywheel will deect the belt about 1/4”(6mm.). Refer
to Fig. 7. To ad just the belt tension, loosen the 4 motor
mounting screws and slide the motor in the proper
direction. Retighten the motor mounting screws.
Fig. 6 Typical Belt Alignment
Fig. 7 Typical Belt Adjustment
Check the belt alignment by placing a straightedge
against the face of the ywheel, touching its rim at
two places (refer to Fig. 6). Adjust the flywheel or
motor pul ley so that the belt runs parallel to the
straightedge. Use a wheel puller to move the motor
pulley on the shaft.
