1. MULTI-FINNED CYLINDERS
   Lower operating temperatures deliver dependable performance and a longer service life.
2. INTEGRAL CYLINDER/HEAD
   The gasketless cylinder head design avoids a common maintenance issue, blown head gaskets.
3. BALANCED PISTONS
   Aluminum alloy first-stage piston is weight-matched to the cast iron second-stage piston, ensuring proper balance.
4. PISTON RINGS
   Three compression rings and one wiper control ring maximize compression, while keeping lube in the case.
5. LIGHTWEIGHT CONNECTING RODS
   High-density, die-cast aluminum alloy rods minimize reciprocating weight. A built-in crankpin bearing and piston-pin needle bearing distribute the bearing load. The needle bearings provide longer bearing life than bushings commonly used by other manufacturers.
6. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
   Located in interstage and discharge.
7. INTERCOOLERS
   Finned tubing provides the greatest cooling effect between stages for maximum compressor efficiency.
8. OPTIMIZED COOLING FAN/FLYWHEEL
   The flywheel doubles as a fan cooling the compressor pump extending its service life.
9. RELIABLE, HIGH-FLOW VALVES
   Single-unit, disc-type valves provide low lift and long life. Valves are easily serviced by removing the manifolds only.
10. OVERSIZED MAIN BEARINGS
    Tapered roller-type main bearings deliver the longest possible life.
11. BALANCED CRANKSHAFT
    The rugged ductile iron crank is designed for minimum bearing loads. Counterweights minimize vibration.
12. LARGE CAPACITY CRANKCASE
    Rugged cast iron oil reservoir has convenient sight gauge glass, corner oil fill boss and large oil drain.

Advantage Series Componnents

Magnetic Starter provides thermal overload protection. Comes standard with all Advantage Series air compressors.
Air cooled aftercooler removes up to 65% of the moisture from discharged compressed air.
Automatic tank drain removes water from air tank. No need to drain the air tank each night.
Vibration isolators separate the air compressor from the floor. Reduces noise and protects the compressor from any out-of-level floor situation.
Low oil level monitor shuts down the air compressor when oil levels are low. Prevents the unit from restarting if oil levels are low.
4-micron air filter system stops dirt particles from entering the air compressor.
Champion's superior cylinder head design eliminates the headgasket; therefore, the possibility of a blown headgasket.
Champion exploits the domed piston using large diameter, low lift valves. The valves reduce clearance volume for the best compressed air delivery.
