OPERATION (CONT’D) Units furnished with head unloaders are equipped with a needle valve, pilot valve and head unloaders to provide continuous run capabilities. The pilot valve acts as an automatic air switch allowing air to flow from the receiver to the head unloader mechanism, thus actuating it. To operate unit in continuous run, open needle valve located next to pilot valve.
GUIDE TO MAINTENANCE 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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE (Cont'd.) CENTRIFUGAL UNLOADER AND UNLOADER PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE: The centrifugal unloader is operated by two governor weights. It is totally enclosed and lubricated from the crankcase of the compressor. When compressor starts, the governor weights automatically open compressing the main spring, allowing the unloader pressure release valve to close. When the compressor stops, the main spring returns the governor weights to normal position opening the unloader pressure release valve and unloading the compressor.

COMPRESSOR PILOT VALVE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Proceed with the following instructions while compressor is running: Loosen locknut (4) and back off several turns. Do not turn differential pressure adjustment nut (3). Check reading on the tank pressure gauge. Set the compressor maximum pressure by turning threaded cap (1) clockwise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease pressure.
“Emulsification of oil (white milky substance) indicates unsafe accumulation of moisture and may be evidence compressor is oversized for application. Failure to promptly consult your local distributor, or Champion Customer Service, can be grounds to deny warranty.” NOTES: 1. Normal break-in period of Champion air compressors is 25 hours.
