The Power of Blue®.

Reliable Blue Star engine drives are the standard for portable welder/generators.

Large 5-gallon fuel capacity (DX models) leads its class. Longer run time for welder or generator usage. See page 2 for fuel consumption data.

Standard Auto Idle (DX models) idles engine while not in use. Reduces fuel consumption and noise.

Compact and portable, its small footprint uses little truck space. Optional running gear also makes the Blue Star one-man portable.

Reliable air-cooled OHV engines ensure consistent engine performance.
