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).
An in­line 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 removing the belt guard, follow
the procedures outlined under MAINTENANCE.

Check the belt alignment by placing a straight­
edge against the face of the flywheel, touching its
rim at two places (see 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.
Properly adjusted, a 3 pound pressure applied to
the belt between the motor pulley and the compressor
flywheel will deflect the belt about 1/4" (6mm) (see
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.
