Guide to Maintenance

For Service contact an authorized Champion distributor. To obtain reliable and satisfactory service, this
unit requires a consistent preventive maintenance schedule. Maintenance schedule pages are included
in the back of this manual to aid in keeping the proper records.
Before performing any maintenance function, be sure all air pressure in unit is relieved. Failure to
do this may result in injury or equipment damage.
Never add fuel to the fuel tank of a hot engine. Spilled fuel may ignite and cause injury or
equipment damage.
Do not exceed 15 PSIG nozzle pressure when cleaning element parts with compressed air. Do not
direct compressed air against human skin. Serious injury could result. Never wash elements in fuel
oil, gasoline or flammable solvent.
Never operate unit without belt guard in place. Removal will expose rotating parts which can cause
injury or equipment damage.
Valves must be reinstalled in original position. Valve gaskets should be replaced each time valves
are serviced.
ENGINE: For service, refer to separate engine manual.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: The pressure relief valve is an automatic pop valve. Each valve is properly
adjusted for the maximum pressure permitted by tank specifications and working pressure of the unit
on which it is installed. If it should pop, it will be necessary to drain all the air out of the tank in order to
reseat properly. Do not adjust.
TANK DRAIN VALVE: Drain valve is located at bottom of tank. Open drain valve daily to drain
condensation. Do not open drain valve if tank pressure exceeds 25 PSIG.
