Maintenance

ENGINE COOLANT

Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle. See the Specifications and Service Schedule sections.

•Add recommended coolant mixture as necessary.

•Periodically remove radiator pressure cap (only when engine has cooled down) to make sure the coolant recovery system is functioning properly. Coolant should be at bottom of radia- tor filler neck. If coolant level is low, inspect gasket in radiator pressure cap. Replace cap, if necessary. To have pressure cap tested, contact a Service Facility. Inspect cooling system and coolant recovery system for leaks.

COOLANT CHANGE

Every year, have a service facility drain, flush and refill the cooling system. See the Specifications and Service Schedule for cooling system recommendations.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR ENGINE DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Engine cranking, start up and running are controlled by a solid state Engine Controller circuit board. Battery voltage is delivered to that circuit board via the control panel fuse. This overcurrent protection device will open if the circuit is overloaded.

nIf a circuit breaker opens or a fuse element melts, find the cause of the overload before resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the fuse.

EXERCISE SYSTEM

Starts the Stationary Emergency Generator engine once every seven days and lets it run for 12 minutes.

PERFORM VISUAL INSPECTION

Complete a thorough visual inspection of the entire engine-genera- tor monthly. Look for obvious damage, loose, missing or corroded nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Look for fuel, oil or coolant leaks.

INSPECT EXHAUST SYSTEM

Inspect the exhaust system at least once every year. Check all exhaust system pipes, mufflers, clamps, etc. for condition, tight- ness, leaks, security, damage.

CHECK FAN BELT

•Inspect fan belts every year. Replace any damaged, deterio- rated, worn or otherwise defective belt.

•Check fan belt tension. Thumb pressure, exerted midway between pulleys, should deflect about 3/8 to 5/8 of an inch. Adjust belt tension as required.

•Check fan belt alignment (see Figure 10.2).

Figure 10.2 – Fan Belt

INSPECT ENGINE GOVERNOR

Visually inspect electronic governor.

nDo not attempt to adjust the governor. Only qualified service facilities should adjust the governor. Excessively high operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk of personal injury. Low speeds impose a heavy load on the engine when adequate engine power is not available and may shorten engine life. Correct rated frequency and voltage are supplied only at the proper governed speed. Some connected electrical load devices may be damaged by incorrect frequency and/or voltage. Only quali- fied service technicians should adjust the gov- erned speed.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR FILTER

To replace the engine air filter, remove the air filter cover and replace the air filter making sure it is positioned properly before reattaching the cover (Figure 10.3).

See the Service Schedule for air filter maintenance.

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. With their combination of advanced technology, powerful performance, and user-friendly features, Generac continues to set the standard in home standby power solutions.
