Hobart Champion Elite 260 Welder/Generator (500577)
The Champion 260 has been discontinued. The suggested replacement is the Champion 225 (500562).
Designed to be a job site workhorse, the Hobart Champion Elite 260 DC Welder/11,000 Watt AC Generator - DC Only (500577) combines an 11,000 watt generator with a DC welder for general construction and emergency power applications. The Elite 260 features a rugged, fully enclosed case which provides a protective barrier and lowers noise. All receptacles on the ELITE feature push-button reset circuit breakers. Auxiliary power while welding gives you the capability to run other equipment (lights, grinders) at the same time you are welding. With the quick set current control, it is easy to set up, provides smooth arc starts and maintains optimum arc characteristics. Cables sold separately.
Highlights:
• DC weld output for smooth arc performance and easy starts
• Four 120 volt GFCI (20 amp), one 240V (50 amp) and one 120/240 volt (50 amp) receptacles with push-button reset circuit breakers
• Auxiliary power while welding gives you the capability to run other equipment (lights, grinder) at the same time you are welding
• Heavy-duty construction with 100% duty cycle, fully-enclosed engine design, large battery, rugged electrical connections and wiring
• 12-Gallon fuel tank with low oil pressure shutdown
• Provides 15 percent more power for DC stick welding than 225-amp generator
• Just over 3 ft long and weighs less than competitive units
• "No tools" oil change and standard hour meter to help maintain routine scheduled oil servicing
• Quick set current control for easy set up and start welding.
• Auto-idle for greater fuel savings and reduced noise.
Controls
• Coarse range control - provides easy setup for welding
• Maintenance Display - provides fuel level, engine hours, oil change interval
• Fine adjust control - fine tuning of amperage control
• Engine control switch - engine speed selection
• Engine choke control - allows adjustment of air/fuel mix for easy startup
Comes Complete With:
• Kohler 23 HP gasoline engine, 3600 RPM
• Fuel-efficient, low-maintenance, twin-cylinder, 4-cycle, overhead-valve
• 12 gallon fuel tank for extended run time
• 5/3/1 Industrial Warranty. Five year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers); one year on guns (MIG and plasma torches)
