How to Replace the Air Filter on Your Quincy 210 Compressor
Clean intake air is critical for keeping your Quincy 210 two-stage compressor performing at its best. Over time, dust and debris clog the filter, forcing your compressor to work harder and potentially causing premature wear on internal components.
When Should You Replace the Air Filter?
For most Quincy 210 compressors, check the air filter at least every 3 months — more frequently in dusty or high-use environments. Replace it if it looks dirty or clogged, or at least once a year as part of routine maintenance.

2. Remove the Air Filter Cover
Locate the air intake assembly on the pump head. Remove the housing cover or unthread the intake cap to expose the filter element.
