Quick Specs Welding Amp Range 40 – 260 A Rated Output 260 A at 25 V, 100% duty cycle Generator Power 11,000 W peak, 9,500 W continuous DC welder and AC generator in one powerful package. Combining a 260-amp DC welder with an 11,000-watt generator, the Champion Elite 260 is ideal for farm, general construction, and emergency power applications. Designed with 15 percent more weld power for DC stick welding with quick and easy arc starts, the Champion Elite 260 also performs general scratch-start DC TIG. Unit is capable of producing power while welding so you can run other jobsite tools, such as lights or grinders, simultaneously. Engine is warrantied separately by the engine manufacturer. Applications Maintenance/repair Farm/ranch Fabrication Structural steel work Use as a stand-alone generator 260-amp welder and 11,000-watt generator. You get a welder and generator for about what you would pay for just a generator! Just over three feet long and weighs less than competitive units. Kohler engine Has a 12-gallon fuel tank and low oil pressure shutdown. Dependable engine conserves fuel and provides long operation before refueling.

Kohler with 3-year mfg. warranty Twin-cylinder, four-cycle, overhead valve, industrial, air-cooled, gasoline *Rated output decreases approximately 3.5 percent per 1,000 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 260 were taken at high temperatures, only after the machine reached operating temperature. Even in hot weather the Champion Elite 260 has the vigor to let you finish the job. Certified by Canadian Standards Association to both the Canadian and U.S. Standards. 1. Coarse range control...

Performance Data Fuel Consumption Data The Champion® Elite 260 offers a modern, fuel-efficient engine from Kohler. With the OHV design, automatic idle and 12-gallon fuel tank, you can expect to put in long hours before having to stop and refuel. For example: • Welding at 150 amps, 40 percent duty cycle, uses about 3/4 gallons of fuel every hour. • While not welding, the engine drops to idle speed using about 1/3 gallons of fuel every hour. • On a typical job using 1/8-inch 7018 electrodes (125 amps, 20 percent duty cycle) you can expect over 20 hours of operation. • Under a continuous load of...
