KEY FEATURES

A great choice for getting the job done! For construction contractors, maintenance crews, farmers or ranchers, the Eagle™ 10,000 Plus does a variety of basic welding jobs. And with AC generator power, it handles a variety of other jobs: lights, grinder, Lincoln Electric welders and plasma cutters (separate air supply needed) or emergency power.

  • Totally enclosed case protects the engine and limits noise
  • Smooth DC welding output

Three-year Lincoln Electric warranty (parts and labor) on welder

  • Processes » Stick, TIG, MIG, Flux-Cored, Gouging

  • Output »

  • Product Number » K2343-4 Eagle 10,000 Plus with Lincoln Electric GV750 gasoline engine

FEATURES

  • Totally Enclosed Case
    • Engine is fully protected.
    • Multiple service access doors.
    • Low noise – 76.4 dBA sound level at 23 ft. (7 m). 100.7 dB sound power (Lwa) at rated output.
  • Versatile DC Welding
    • Smooth DC welding output for a broad range of stick electrode types.
    • MIG, flux-cored and TIG capable (with optional equipment)(1).
  • 10,500 Watts Peak Single-Phase AC Generator Power
    • Surge for motor starting.
    • 9,000 watts continuous power for generator, plasma cutter or inverter welder.
    • Lights, grinder, power tools.
  • Gasoline Engine
    • 2 cylinder, 4 cycle overhead valve air-cooled design.
    • Oil drain extension for easy oil changes.
    • 12 gallon tank for extended run times.
    • Only 1.5 gallons/hour at 210 amps DC, 25V, 100% duty cycle. Visual fuel level gauge on both sides of unit.
  • Rugged Reliability
    • Welding and AC generator outputs rated at 104°F (40°C).

A constant voltage (CV) power source is recommended for wire feeder applications. The across-the-arc Lincoln Electric LN-Series wire feeders may be used with a constant current (CC) power source, such as the Eagle™ 10,000 Plus, for non-critical applications where weld quality and deposition properties are not critical.

PERFORMANCE

Arc Performance

  • Smooth DC welding output for a broad range of stick electrodes sold at a retailer near you, including Lincoln Electric Fleetweld® 37 (AWS E6013), Fleetweld® 47 (AWS E7014), Fleetweld® 180 (AWS E6011), Lincoln 7018AC (AWS E7018 H8) and Excalibur® 7018 MR (AWS E7018 H4R). Also capable of MIG or flux-cored welding or basic TIG welding in constant current mode.
  • Choose DC(+) for a deep penetrating arc or DC(-) for less penetration on thin sheet metal.
  • Rated 225 amps/25 volts/40% duty cycle and 210 amps/25 volts/100% duty cycle for CC. All rated outputs at 104°F (40°C).
  • Simple Output Range Selector can be used to select one of three amperage ranges with generous overlap for Stick/TIG welding.
  • Fine adjustment control allows you to dial in just the right welding output for each application.
  • Add productivity with self-shielded flux-cored wire welding in CC mode. Compatible with Lincoln Electric across-the-arc wire feeders for use with a variety of wire electrodes. For applications where weld quality and deposition properties are not critical.
  • Expand to AC TIG welding with optional Square Waveâ„¢ TIG 200 (powered by AC generator power from the Eagleâ„¢ 10,000 Plus) for aluminum and other alloy welding.
  • Arc gouge with up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) carbon electrode.

AC Generator Performance

  • 10,500 watts surge AC generator power. Most surge power in its class. Use for motor starting.
  • 9,000 watts continuous AC generator power. For high capacity needs such as a back-up generator, powering a Lincoln Electric plasma cutter, inverter welder, or Square Wave TIG 200. Also for lights, a grinder or other power tools.
  • Delivers up to 38 amps from the single 120V/240V full-KVA receptacle. Standard circuit breakers protect the machine as well as your power tools.
  • Delivers up to 40 amps from two 120V duplex receptacles.
  • Get two tools in one when you use the Eagle™ 10,000 Plus as a power generator for emergency standby power, and/or for welding.
  • Optional GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Kit available for additional protection from electrical shock for 120V receptacles.
  • Simultaneous welding and AC generator power – power up to 3,950 watts while welding at 145 amps (AC generator power is reduced when welding simultaneously per table below).
