Champion 10,000
All-in-One 10,000-Watt AC Generator and DC Welder 211801
June 2008
Combining a 10,000-watt generator with a 230-amp
constant-current DC welder, the Champion 10,000
is ideal for farm, general construction, and emergency
power applications. This unit is designed for Stick
welding with quick and easy arc starts. It also performs
general scratch start DC TIG. The Champion 10,000
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 10,000 were taken at high temperatures, only after the machine reached operating temperature. Even in hot weather the Champion 10,000 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 over 3 ft long and weighs 10 – 20% less than competitive units.
Modern engines from Robin or Kohler, with 10-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 10,000 also provides a smooth arc for scratch start
DC TIG welding.

CONTROL PANEL
MOUNTING SPECIFICATIONS
1. Engine Control Switch allows for engine speed
selection. In Run/Idle position, engine runs at idle
speed at no load, and weld/power speed under load.
2. Engine Choke Control. Use control to change engine
air/fuel mix.
3. Engine Hour Meter. Combined with the Fastex “no
tools” oil change feature, routine service is easily
monitored and performed.
4. Amperage Control. Easy to set up for welding, and the
amperage control does not have to be turned up to
maximum to gain full auxiliary output.
5. Amperage Selection Chart. Explains weld settings for
typical electrode diameter sizes and types.
6. 120/240 Volt Receptacle. This versatile, 50-amp
circuit-breaker-protected receptacle can supply up to
10,000 watts of 230-volt power or, up to 10,000 watts of
120-volt power through two separate 120-volt circuits.
(Note: Protective covers not shown.)
7. 120 Volt Receptacle. Protected by two 20-amp
circuit breakers.

PERFORMANCE DATA
Fuel Consumption Data
The Champion 10,000 offers modern, fuel
efficient engines from Robin or Kohler. With
the OHV design, automatic idle and 10 gallon
fuel tank, you can expect to put in long hours
before having to stop and refuel. For example:
• Welding at 125 amps, 100% duty cycle,
uses about 1 gal of fuel every hour.
• While not welding, the engine drops to idle
speed using about 1/2 gal of fuel every hour.
• On a typical job using 1/8-in 7018 electrodes
(125 amps, 20% duty cycle) you can expect
over 16 hours of operation.
• Under a continuous load of 4,000 watts
of auxiliary power, the Champion 10,000
would run for about 9 hours.
