Designed for fleet owners - easy to maintain and always ready to weld
Prior Big Blue 452 owners now have a choice between the Big Blue 500 X or the Big Blue 400 X
New Industrial-grade, sealed marine ignition switch with starter Interlock prevents the starter from engaging while the engine is running. Protects ring gear and starter from abuse.
Designed tor fleet owners that demand the ultimate in reliability and performance.
Three-phase rotating field generator efficiently produces smooth DC weld output using 20-30% less fuel than a rotating armature-type DC generator.
Enclosed robust case design protects internal components from impact and allows air flow to cool and prolong the life of the engine. Also reduces sound levels.
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 allows oil to be drained without getting under the engine and reduces the
chance of oil spillage.
Hot Start™
Used on some Stick (SMAW) machines to make it easier to start difficult-to-start electrodes. Used for arc starting only.
Arc Drive
A patent pending active DIG control in the Stick process that enhances E6010 pipe welding without compromising E7018 performance.
FeaturesIndustrial-grade, sealed marine ignition switch with starter interlock prevents the starter from engaging while the engine is running. Protects ring gear and starter from abuse.
Engine gauges are now standard on all models. Oil pressue and coolant temperature gauges provide visual engine vitals.
Hot Start™ provides positive Stick electrode starts to make it easy to start all types of electrodes, and works great for bead tie-ins.
Arc-Drive makes the welding easy. Automatically enhances Stick welding, especially on pipe, by focusing the arc and preventing the electrode from going out.
5500-watt peak generator power that is independent of weld settings which means no interaction between tools and the welding arc.
Automatic engine shutdown protects engine if low oil pressure or high coolant temperature occurs.
