How to decrease high weld output on my Hobart Champion 145?
- BBrittany HarperSep 12, 2025
If your Hobart Welding System is producing high weld output, check the amperage control setting.
How to decrease high weld output on my Hobart Champion 145?
If your Hobart Welding System is producing high weld output, check the amperage control setting.
What to do if my Hobart Champion 145 has low output at generator power ac receptacles?
If your Hobart Welding System has low output at the generator power AC receptacles, check the amperage control setting and set it to Max for generator power. If the issue persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the engine speed, and adjust if necessary.
