Specifications:
  • Blue Star 145 DX: Weld output range of 40-145 A, generator output of 4500 Watts peak and 4000 Watts continuous, weight of 309 lb (140 kg).
  • Blue Star 185 DX: Weld output range of 55-185 A, generator output of 6000 Watts peak and 5500 Watts continuous, weight of 315 lb (143 kg).
Features:
  • Both models feature a compact design with a large five-gallon fuel capacity for extended run times.
  • Standard auto idle reduces fuel consumption and noise.
  • Equipped with reliable air-cooled OHV engines and a quick-reference parameter chart for easy amperage setting.
  • Includes a 3-year warranty for both the welder/generator and the engine.
Performance Data:
  • Fuel consumption data indicates that the Blue Star 185 DX can run for about 6.5 hours under a continuous load of 3000 watts and about 15 hours when welding at 130 amps with a 30% duty cycle.
Applications and Accessories:
  • Designed for use with various tools and equipment, including hand drills, circular saws, air compressors, and more.
