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 precautions
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 and check for
installation debris.
Step 2)
Unless otherwise specified, Quincy QT & PLT Series compressors
are normally shipped with break-in lubricant in the crankcase.
Check the lubricant level in the crankcase.
(Refer to

for quantity and types of lubricant to be
used.)

Check motor pulley and compressor sheaves for alignment and
tightness on shaft. (Refer to
