Features

Heavy-Duty Low-Speed Kubota V2403 Industrial Diesel Engine
The cleanest, greenest diesel power available. Kubota T4F models utilize diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technology to keep the air clean with NO exhaust after-treatment maintenance.
Dynamic DIG™
Unlike conventional DIG that provides a preset amount of short-clearing current, Miller’s proprietary Dynamic DIG works on a time-based algorithm that automatically adjusts the amount of current required to clear a short. What does this mean? A smoother more consistent arc that can be tailored to match application, material, fit-up, and welder technique.   Learn More
Quiet Operation
Improves work site safety and communication.
Digital Meters with SunVision™
Enables welding parameters to be viewed with greater clarity at virtually any angle. Meters can be seen clearly even in direct sunlight.
Electronic Engine Display
Electronic engine display simultaneously displays fuel level, engine hours, coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery volts, and engine RPMs. Also tracks oil change intervals and displays engine diagnostics for quick and easy servicing.
Industrial USB Port
Quickly upload the latest software and download machine log files to retrieve in-depth information such as diagnostics and machine statistics.   Learn More
Auto Remote Sense™ (ARS)
Detects if a remote control is plugged into the 14-pin receptacle and eliminates confusion of a remote/panel switch.
HD Powder Coat
All painted sheet metal is pretreated with a zinc-rich primer to provide extra protection against rust & corrosion (comparable to stainless steel).
Advanced Features for the Professional Welder
  • Adaptive Hot Start™ makes starting stick electrodes easy without creating an inclusion.
  • Infinite arc control available in the Stick and Wire modes for easier fine tuning of tough-to-weld materials and out-of-position applications.
  • Lift-Arc™ TIG provides arc starting that minimizes the risk of electrode/work contamination without the need for high frequency.
Low OCV Stick (VRD)
When activated, reduces the open-circuit voltage to 15 volts when the power source is not in use, increasing operator safety without compromising arc starts.
Other Standard Features
Output contactor control, automatic idle, thermal overload protection, and 120-volt engine block heater.

Not Included

  • Weld leads
