See PRESSURES paragraph.
4. Observe operation to confirm that pumps build up to
cut-off pressure and shut off. See OPERATIONAL
CHECK paragraph.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
1. Change oil. See LUBRICATION paragraph.
2. Check intake filters. See AIR INTAKE FILTER para-
graph.

L U B R I C A T I O N
Quincy units use splash lubrication on the 1/3 to 3/4
hp (0.25 to 0.56 kW) units and pressurized lubrication
on 1 hp to 7-l/2 hp (0.75 to 5.6 kW) units, Stop both
pumps, remove and wipe off dipsticks; reinsert dipsticks;
remove again and read. If necessary, add oil through dip-
stick port. Use oil in accordance with Table 1. A high
quality, nondetergent automotive oil is satisfactory
(Table 2).
On 1-hp (0.75 kW) units and larger, in addition to
checking oil level, check the oil pressure gage. Gage read-
ing should be in the 10 to 20 lb/in 2 (70 to 140 kPa)
range. Recommended operating pressure is 15 lb/in 2
(100 kPa).
To change oil, stop both units.
Personal injury could result from starting a unit
not containing oil.
Remove the drain plug and dipstick and allow oil to
drain completely. Ordinarily, a crankcase need not be
flushed. If flushing seems necessary, use a nonflammable
solvent (available at most auto parts stores). Replace
plug and refill according to Table 2. DO NOT OVER-
FILL! Overfilling causes excessive oil consumption and
contamination of the compressed air.
Lubricate the motor annually in accordance with
instruction on nameplate.
