Why Champion R10D system does not alternate (Duplex units only)?
- J
  Jennifer LewisSep 23, 2025
  If your Champion Air Compressor system does not alternate (duplex units only), it could be due to a tripped starter, loose wiring in the alternator, a defective alternator, or a defective motor. Reset the starter; if it trips repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an electrician. Check and tighten all wiring connections. Replace the alternator or motor, if needed.

How to reduce excessive oil consumption in Champion Air Compressor?
- J
  John DavisAug 25, 2025
  To address excessive oil consumption in your Champion Air Compressor, consider these points: * A dirty air filter can cause this issue, so clean or replace it. * Using the wrong oil viscosity can also lead to high oil consumption; refill with the proper viscosity oil. * Check for oil leaks and tighten bolts, replacing gaskets as needed. * Worn piston rings or a scored cylinder can also be culprits, requiring you to replace the rings or the cylinder, respectively.

Why does tank pressure build up slowly in my Champion Air Compressor?
- K
  Keith MartinAug 26, 2025
  Slow tank pressure build-up in your Champion Air Compressor can be attributed to a few reasons. Air leaks could be present, so tighten the fittings. The air filter might be dirty, requiring cleaning or replacement. Alternatively, the compressor valves could be defective, suggesting the installation of a new valve plate assembly.

  To resolve excessive oil consumption in your Champion Air Compressor, start by checking the air filter and clean or replace it if it's dirty. Ensure you're using the proper viscosity oil; if not, refill with the correct type. Inspect for any oil leaks, tightening bolts and replacing gaskets as needed. If the problem persists, worn piston rings or a scored cylinder might be the cause, necessitating their replacement.

Why Champion R10D runs hot?
- M
  Mark SuttonAug 27, 2025
  If your Champion Air Compressor is running hot, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the flywheel rotation is correct (counter-clockwise when viewed from the drive side). Defective compressor valves can also lead to overheating, requiring installation of a new valve plate assembly. A dirty air filter restricts airflow, so clean or replace it. Lastly, a dirty cylinder or intercooler can impede heat dissipation, so clean the cylinder fins and/or intercooler.
