Initial Start-up
Each Compressor Unit built is extensively tested at
the factory before shipment. The Unit is shipped with
the original oil in it as used for testing purposes.
Check the Oil level and for any Oil leaks on a daily
basis. This must be done when the Unit is off. Top up
the Oil level on a monthly basis.
Use only Champion lubricant. As well, do not mix
Champion lubricant with any other lubricant.
Subsequent Oil Changes
Drain the existing oil from the Unit. (Please be
advised that the Unit cannot be drained fully of oil, as
some oil may remain in various components ie
Cooler, Tubing, etc.)
Fill the Oil Reservoir to the center of the Sight Glass,
as shown below. Do not under or overfill.
Use only Champion lubricant, available in both 1 US
gallon (3.8 litre) jugs or 5 US gallon (18.9 litre) pails.
Any remaining oil may be used for ‘top-ups’.
The ‘
MK-D1015-CH
’ Maintenance Kit includes:
(2) Oil Filter (’DSC-603-CH’)
(1) Air/Oil Separator Filter (’DSC-302-CH’)
(2) Air Filters (’DSC-001931-CH’)
(1) In Line Filter (‘DSC-612)
(1) Oil Sample Kit (‘308KBA6003’)
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without
first checking whether there is oil in the Oil
Reservoir. Add oil as required. Serious
damage may result from use, however
limited, without oil.
Use of improper oil may negatively affect
Compressor performance or shorten Unit life.
Resulting problems are not covered by the
Champion Air Compressor Warranty.
Condensation (water) may form in the Oil
Reservoir with the oil. If this occurs, as the
water will tend to settle on the bottom of the
Reservoir, drain the water from the Reservoir
until you notice oil draining. Top up the
Reservoir with new oil using only the
Champion lubricant.
