Just keep in mid the frequency part. That is what will fry the electronics in that welder, why I suggest an inverter genny because they maintain 60 hertz even during excessive inrush load. Like I said, they aren't cheap but no point in toasting the welder either.
The issue with any conventional genny is, when the welder requires the amperage and the engine drive drops in RPM, the hertz also drops as the the genny armature slows before the engine governor can recover.. That don't happen with an inverter genny as the Hertz is electronically stabilized inside the generator. I have a Champion myself. Good unit but not cheap.
