    Why does the tank lose pressure rapidly when Quincy Compressor Air Compressor shuts off?
    • A
      Alyssa TuckerAug 26, 2025
      If the tank on your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor loses pressure rapidly after the compressor shuts off, it could be due to: * A loose connection or leak in the pipe, tank drain valve, tubing, fitting, or hose. Turn the unit off, unplug it, and then tighten or replace the fittings or components. * A faulty check valve, so replace the faulty check valve.

    Why is my Quincy Compressor Air Compressor so noisy?
    • J
      jason85Aug 27, 2025
      Noisy operation in your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor can stem from several sources: * Lack of lubricant in the crankcase, so check for possible damage to bearings and add lubricant. * Loose pulley, flywheel, belt, compressor or motor fasteners, belt-guard, clamps, or accessories, so tighten where necessary. * Carbon deposits on the piston or valves, so remove the cylinder head and inspect for foreign matter on top of the piston and clean. * Worn main bearings, broken piston, worn wrist pins, wrist pin bearings, or loose connecting rod bolt.

    Why does motor hum or run slowly when first turned on in Quincy Compressor Air Compressor?
    • J
      Jennifer SmithAug 30, 2025
      If the motor hums or runs slowly when first turned on for your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor, it could be due to: * Using a light-duty extension cord, so use an additional hose instead of an extra extension cord or use a heavier gauge extension cord. * A loose electrical connection, so repair the electrical connections. * Low voltage, so check with a voltmeter. * The motor being sized incorrectly, so replace with a correctly sized motor. * A defective motor, so replace the motor. * The motor voltage not matching the voltage of the power source, so change the power cord & voltage of motor to match the voltage of the power source.

    What causes excessive vibrations in Quincy Compressor Q13160V?
    • C
      Christopher BennettSep 1, 2025
      Excessive vibrations in your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor may be caused by: * Misaligned or loose pulley & flywheel, so realign or tighten them. * A loose belt, so tighten the belt. * The compressor unit being bolted to an uneven surface or not bolted down at all (stationary models), so shim to level the surface & fasten to the floor if possible.

    What to do if Quincy Compressor Q13160V Air Compressor overheats?
    • M
      Mark DavisSep 4, 2025
      Quincy Compressor Air Compressor overheating can occur due to: * High ambient temperature or inadequate ventilation, so increase ventilation with cooler air. * Dirty cylinder & head cooling fins, so clean all outer surfaces of the compressor. * The unit being undersized for the application, so re-evaluate application requirements and re-size if necessary. * Insufficient lubrication, so inspect for proper lubricant and amount. * A restriction in the head or check valve, so inspect, clean or replace.

    What causes excessive lubricant consumption in Quincy Compressor Q13160V?
    • F
      francismarySep 6, 2025
      Excessive lubricant consumption or excessive lubricant in the hose of your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor can result from: * The crankcase being overfilled with lubricant, so drain the lubricant and refill to the proper level with the proper lubricant. * Lubricant leaks, so tighten bolts on the compressor to the proper torque or replace gaskets. * Wrong lubricant viscosity, so drain the lubricant & refill with the proper lubricant. * The compressor being on an unlevel surface, so level the compressor. * A plugged crankcase breather, so clean or replace the crankcase breather.

    Why does the pressure relief valve continually "pops" on Quincy Compressor Q13160V Air Compressor?
    • B
      Brittany PattonSep 9, 2025
      If the pressure relief valve on your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor continually pops, it could be due to: * A defective pressure switch, so replace the pressure switch. * A faulty pressure switch setting. * A defective pressure relief valve, so replace the pressure relief valve.

    Why is there moisture in the discharge air from my Quincy Compressor Air Compressor?
    • S
      Stephanie TownsendSep 12, 2025
      Moisture in the discharge air of your Quincy Compressor Air Compressor is likely due to: * Condensation in the tank, caused by a high level of atmospheric humidity or the compressor not being run long enough, so drain the tank after every use. Drain the tank more frequently in humid weather and use an air line filter.
