Issued October 2008 • Index No. ED/8.5
Simplified control panel provides
easy set-up with fewer controls—
less training is required.
Standard GFCI receptacle required
on most job sites to protect
operators from electrical hazards.
CSA, IEC, and NEMA compliant for
welders. Degree of protection
provided by enclosure IP23.
Hot Start
provides positive Stick electrode
starts to make it easy to start all types of
electrodes, and works great for bead tie-ins.
Automatic idle saves fuel and prolongs
engine life along with reducing the
sound level.
Arc-Drive makes welding easy.
Automatically enhances Stick
welding, especially on pipe, by
focusing the arc and preventing
the electrode from going out.

CATERPILLAR industrial engine designed
to operate over 10,000 hours before the
first basic overhaul. Backed by worldwide
CAT support and service.
Silenced—only 65 dB (90 Lwa) at idle.
73.8 dB at 23 ft (98.7 Lwa) maximum
output. Improves work site communications.
Enclosed base and case protects
internal components from corrosive
environments and reduces sound levels.
Welder/generator is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor.
The CATERPILLAR engine is warranted for 2 years by CATERPILLAR.
Quick and easy maintenance with
single-side access to oil level check,
oil fill, oil filter, fuel filter and air cleaner.
Remote toolless oil drain that allows oil to
be drained without getting under the engine
and reduces the chance of oil spillage.
AC TIG weld aluminum with deluxe model.
The most AC weld output on any engine
drive. (High-frequency unit required.)
More welding amperage!
400 amps at 100% Duty Cycle
450 amps at 60% Duty Cycle
500 amps at 40% Duty Cycle
Engine gauges indicate engine oil
pressure, and coolant temperature
(standard on all models).
CC/CV Models: The Vault—ultimate
control board reliability. See page 4.
