ZENA Backpak Welder
Specifications / Features

 

Key Backpak Welder Features -- At-A-Glance

Six quart heavy duty, semi-transparent, roto-molded plastic fuel tank with shut off valve, vent check valve, our unique multi-position tank venting system (including drip / overflow reservoir )

 

  Race Tuned Exhaust System maximizes fuel economy, increases engine power and efficiency at welding speed, provides smooth performance, and reduces smoke and other engine emissions

Fully adjustable (for high altitude use) Tillotson carburetor equipped with a ZENA electronic engine speed control -- engine speeds up for welding & idles when not welding

    Powerful, easy to start, U.S. Motor Power Two-Stroke Single Cylinder Engine with internal alternator and high performance ignition system -- fully shock mounted with three levels of vibration isolated

20' welding cables equipped with the famous built-into-the electrode holder ZENA fingertip remote welding power control system

    ZENA 150A, 100% duty cycle, high frequency DC welding power generator is direct coupled to drive engine for vibration free, 100% efficient, energy transfer

Fully functional backpack frame with high quality belt and shoulder strap suspension system

    Backpack frame is equipped with an aluminum upright support bail to make it easier to put on or take off your Backpak welder AND to protect the Backpak welder components


Welder is supported during operation by vibration isolating Polyurethane "feet"

 

Welding cables and controls are easily stored
and supported during travel and storage by
circling engine support frame
(fixing straps are included with welder)

 
Almost all Backpak welder components are aircraft aluminum and stainless steel fasteners used wherever possible
