Fluid Life
Quinsyn GL or GLF fluid can be used for one (1) year or
8,000 hours depending upon application and
recommendations from the fluid analysis. Draining of
the fluid should be done while the fluid is hot to carry
away more impurities. It is strongly suggested that a
reputable fluid analysis program be followed to establish
fluid change intervals.
A free fluid analysis service is provided with the use of
Quinsyn GL or Quinsyn GLF fluid. This analysis
provides important information regarding the
performance of the fluid and assists in detecting any
special problems which might arise. Fluid samples
should be taken at the time of fluid filter changes or at
1,000 hour intervals. Fluid sample bottles, labels and
instructions are provided with the compressor package at
the time of shipment. Additional sample bottles may be
purchased through your distributor.
Hot fluid under pressure could cause death or
serious injury. Do not remove the fluid fill plug
and attempt to add fluid to the fluid reservoir
while the compressor is in operation or when the
system is under pressure. Be sure that the
compressor’s red mushroom stop button is
pushed in and that the main power disconnect
switch is in the off position and locked out to
assure that the compressor will not start
automatically or by accident. Close unit shut-off
valve to eliminate buffing air venting.
Fluid Filter
The fluid filter is a spin on, full flow unit. Replacement
of the filter requires spinning off the complete cartridge
and replacing it with a new one. USE GENUINE
QUINCY REPLACEMENT FILTERS ONLY.
The initial filter change should occur after the first 500
hours of operation. During normal service, the filter
cartridge should be replaced under the following
conditions, whichever occurs first:
• As indicated by the fluid filter maintenance indicator
when the fluid is up to it’s operating temperature.
• Every 1,000 hours.
• Every fluid change.
Air Filter
A heavy-duty air filter is standard on all QSD
™
compressors. This air filter uses a dry type element. Air
passes through the filter element with an efficiency of
99.9% (as tested by SAE J726 test code specifications).
To change the element, unscrew the strap bolts and
remove and replace the old element. Tighten the bolts
snugly after making certain the element is seated
correctly on its mounting base.
NOTE
Intake filtration equipment supplied from the
factory may not be adequate for extremely dirty
applications or some forms of dust or vapors. It
is the customer’s responsibility to provide
adequate filtration for those conditions.
Warranty will be void if a failure is determined
to be caused by inadequate filtration.
