Champion™
All-in-One 11,000-Watt AC Generator and AC/DC Welder 243759
August 2009
Combining a 11,000-watt generator with a 225-amp
AC or 210-amp
DC welder, the Champion Elite is
ideal for farm, general construction, and emergency
power applica tions. This unit is designed for Stick
welding with quick and easy arc starts. It also performs
general scratch-start DC TIG. The unit is capable of
producing power while welding so your partner doesn’t
have to wait to start on the next task. The Champion
Elite offers a “no-nonsense” warranty. The engine is
warranted separately by the engine manufacturer.
Rated output decreases approximately 3.5% per 1000 ft (305 m) above sea level. The rated output of any engine-driven
welder/generator decreases as temperatures rise. The ratings for the
Champion Elite were taken at high temperatures, only after the machine reached operating temperature. Even in hot weather the Champion Elite has the vigor to let you finish the job.
FEATURES BENEFITS
You get a generator and
welder for about what you would pay for just a generator!
Smooth arc starts with minimal “sticking”. Extraordinary motor starting characteristics. Strong
continuous rating to run compressors, pumps, lights, hand tools and other equipment.
Provides stamina and long dependable service. Enclosed design, large battery, rugged electrical
connections and wiring, and circuit-breaker protection.
Just under 4 ft long and weighs less than competitive units.
Modern engines from Kohler or Subaru, with 12-gallon fuel tank and low oil pressure shutdown as
standard features. Dependable engines conserve fuel and provide long operation before refueling.
Help maintain scheduled routine oil servicing (every 100 hours) and other preventative maintenance.
Easy to set up and start welding.
Primarily designed for the Stick process, the Champion Elite also provides a smooth arc for scratch
start DC TIG welding.
