•The control panel fuse has been removed from the control box.

•The 120VAC supply to the battery charger is switched OFF.

•The negative battery cable has been removed.

CHECK ENGINE OIL

Check engine crankcase oil level (Figure 10.1) according to the Service Schedule and SIB10-10-L24G.

•Remove oil dipstick and wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

•Install oil dipstick, then remove again.

•Oil should be between FULL and ADD marks.

•If oil level is below the dipstick ADD mark, remove oil fill cap-. Add the recommended oil to bring oil level up to the FULL mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK. See “Engine Oil Recommendations” for recommended oils.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

nHot oil may cause burns. Allow engine to cool before draining oil. Avoid prolonged or repeat- ed skin exposure with used oil. Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap.

Refer to the Service Schedule for engine oil and filter change fre- quencies.

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm from running. This means warm up the engine, shut it down and drain immediately as follows:

1.Remove the drain hose from its retaining clip or cut the zip-tie securing the oil drain hose.

2.Loosen and remove OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP. Drain oil com- pletely into suitable container.

3.When all oil has drained, install and tighten OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP and secure drain hose with a new zip-tie, or place the hose in its retaining clip.

4.Turn OIL FILTER (Figure 10.1) counterclockwise and remove. Properly dispose of old filter.

5.Apply light coating of new engine oil to seal of new oil fil- ter. Install FILTER and tighten by hand only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

6.Remove OIL FILL CAP and add recommended oil. Crankcase oil capacity is listed in the "Specifications" section.

nAfter refilling the crankcase with oil, always check oil level on dipstick. NEVER OPERATE ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIPSTICK “ADD” MARK.

7.Start engine and check for oil leaks.

8.Shut OFF engine and wait 10 minutes for the oil to settle down into the oil pan. Recheck oil level on dipstick. DO NOT fill above the dipstick "FULL" mark.

9.Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.

COOLING INTAKE/OUTLET

Air intake and outlet openings in the generator compartment must be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation. This includes such obstructions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.

Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine/gen- erator quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down. (See the installation diagram.)

The exhaust system parts from this product get extremely hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.

INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM

•Inspect engine cooling system. See the Service Schedule.

•Check hoses for damage, deterioration, leaks, etc. Correct any discrepancies found.

•Check hose clamps for tightness.

QT06024ANAX, QT06024AVSX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVAX specifications

The Generac QT06024AVAX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVSX, and QT06024ANAX are powerful and versatile residential generators designed for those who want the peace of mind provided by reliable backup power. These models from Generac's Guardian Series are engineered for performance, efficiency, and ease of use, making them ideal solutions for homeowners looking to ensure uninterrupted power during outages.

One of the standout features of these generators is their robust 60 kW capacity, which allows them to power essential home appliances, HVAC systems, and even larger electricity-demanding devices without a hitch. This capacity makes them suitable for medium to large homes, providing enough energy to keep daily operations running smoothly even during extended outages.

The QT series incorporates Generac's advanced Quiet-Test technology, which reduces noise levels during self-testing. This feature enables the generator to perform regular self-diagnostic tests at a much quieter decibel level, ensuring it does not disrupt the household during these checks. Additionally, the generators are designed with a weather-resistant enclosure, providing durability and protection against various environmental conditions.

The models are equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring a user-friendly digital display that allows for easy monitoring of power usage and system status. They also feature an automatic transfer switch that seamlessly switches from grid power to generator power in case of an outage, ensuring that the transition is almost instantaneous and worry-free for homeowners.

Moreover, the QT series generators utilize a liquid-cooled engine, which provides greater efficiency and performance compared to air-cooled alternatives. This technology not only ensures longer run times but also contributes to a longer lifespan for the generator. The low-oil pressure shutdown feature is another critical safety aspect, protecting the engine from damage by automatically shutting it down when oil levels are too low.

Finally, these models are designed with flexibility in mind. They can be customized with various accessories and options to meet specific homeowner needs. Whether for full home backup or partial power, the Generac QT06024AVAX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVSX, and QT06024ANAX are reliable solutions that give homeowners the confidence to weather any storm without losing power.
