Savings on fuel and maintenance

When your machine is out of reach, it’s a hassle to walk back to turn it off — so you
let it run all day. Running a welder/generator when you’re not welding or generating
AC power uses more fuel and adds unnecessary hours to the engine, which leads to an
increased need for oil changes, air filters, fuel filters and even generator brushes.
You’re wasting money on fuel and doing more routine maintenance than you need to.
A Bobcat welder/generator with remote start/stop is quick and easy to turn off when

Less noise WHEN YOU DON’T

The noise of a welder/generator running all day is irritating — and can even keep you NEED POWER,
from hearing sounds that warn you of potential hazards.

The Bobcat Advantage
Air filter Fuel fill Oil filter
Easy maintenance
With its intuitive design, the daily maintenance of our Bobcat welder/generators is fast
and easy. Front panel maintenance displays help you know when your equipment
needs to be serviced. Servicing is simple because of:
• Oil checks that can be performed easily through the top of the machine by the
access door
• Toolless panels that allow for quick access
• Single-side fuel fill and oil drain/filter

Reversed generator flow

Exclusive engine and generator packaging design operates cooler and more efficiently.
The engine is rotated towards the front to create more efficient airflow. More efficient
airflow and exclusive engine location are significant contributors to reduced sound
level and size reduction. Hot air recirculation is eliminated when machine is mounted in
tight spots, and internal parts are kept cool for optimal performance.
