The subordinate clause in this sentence is, "If you run out of quarters". This subordinate clause is an adverb clause. An adverb clause consists of a group of words, having its own subject and verb, which functions as an adverb. It modifies an adjective, a verb and also an adverb. Adverb clause is usually introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as if, such as, because and although.
