Champion R-Series Engine Driven Factory-Installed Options and Adders

Champion R-Series engine driven factory-installed options and adders

These are the options Champion builds onto an engine driven R-Series package at the factory. They are order line items, not parts you add later, so they have to be specified when the compressor is ordered. Prices come straight from pages 29, 30 and 31 of the Champion reciprocating price list effective August 15, 2026.

The compressors themselves are on the Champion R-Series engine driven piston air compressor listing, which carries all 22 configurations: gas 13 and 14 HP, gas 22.1 and 22.5 HP, diesel 9.1 and 9.3 HP, and diesel 23.9 HP.

Already standard, so don't pay twice

Every engine driven package ships with an electric key start switch, the R-Series pump with head unloaders for constant load/no load running, an intake filter and silencer, an enclosed belt guard, and vibration isolators. Tank mounted units add an ASME coded receiver and a pilot valve with toggle, so the unit starts loadless without bleeding the tank down first. Base mount and low profile tank models are the exception on the ASME receiver.

On the 22 HP gas and 23.9 HP diesel machines the 9 gallon EPA certified fuel tank is standard, and on the 23.9 HP diesel the exhaust rain cap is standard too, which is why that model does not appear under the rain cap option below.

Reading the Fits Model column

Most of these options are offered on only part of the range, and the tank coatings are priced by tank size, so the second dropdown narrows each option to the machines Champion actually prices it for. A few worth knowing before you configure:

• Remote Start/Choke is not offered at all on the 13 HP Honda GX390 machines, where the book prints N/A across the row. It is $610 on the 14 HP Kohler CH440, and $610 again as the 6 foot version on the 22 HP gas and 23.9 HP diesel units.
• Lifting Eye is base mount only. The horizontal tank versions of the same models print N/A.
• Exhaust Rain Cap is Kohler CH680 only. The Honda GX690 prints N/A and the Yanmar 3TNM74F has it as standard.
• Air Cooled Aftercooler exists only on the big machines, the 22.1 and 22.5 HP gas and the 23.9 HP diesel. The 13, 14, 9.1 and 9.3 HP packages have no aftercooler option in the book.
• Premium Extended Warranty Kit is $1,050 on the 13/14 HP gas and 9.1/9.3 HP diesel machines and $2,090 on the 22 HP gas and 23.9 HP diesel.

California Code receivers

This is an availability question, not a price. The book prints Yes on the 30 gallon tank models, No on the 60 and 80 gallon models in the 13/14 HP gas and 9.1/9.3 HP diesel ranges, Std on the 22 HP gas and 23.9 HP diesel tank models, and N/A on every base mount. If you are shipping into California, tell us the model and we will confirm before the order goes in.

Ship loose accessories, available by quote

Two part numbers are printed in this section as ship loose items with no list price, so they cannot be sold here. Ask us and we will quote them:

• TEN003329, remote choke and start kit with key switch. The book marks it for the 14 HP Kohler CH440 engine only.
• P12845A, canvas cover for the 30 gallon engine driven models.

Both ship separately rather than installed on the package.

Weights and freight

Champion publishes no shipping weight for any of these options, so every variant here carries a zero weight rather than a made up one. Most install on the compressor and change nothing about the freight. Worth knowing on the machines themselves: Champion prepays freight on engine driven compressors when the order is over 400 pounds, and electric start engines ship without a battery, so budget for one locally.

Buying from Warthog

We are an authorized Champion distributor and these go on the factory order with the machine. If you are specifying a truck mounted or job site unit and are not sure whether you want the remote start, the lined tank or the aftercooler, call us. The lined tank in particular is worth thinking about once rather than regretting later, because it is not something anyone retrofits.
