Safety Instructions

SAFETY RULES

Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, effi- ciently and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a procedure, work method or operating technique is used that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

nDespite the safe design of this generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglect- ing its maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only respon- sible and capable persons to install, operate or maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator.

nParts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during operation. Exercise care near running generators.

GENERAL HAZARDS

•For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Service Dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator also must comply with all such codes, standards and regulations.

•Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and related) equipment must always comply with applicable codes, stan- dards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed, operat- ed and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc- tions and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.

•The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be provided. This should be considered prior to installing the generator. The unit should be positioned to direct exhaust gasses safely away from any building where people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. Any exhaust stacks that ship loose with the unit must be installed properly per the manufacturer's instruction, and in strict compli- ance with applicable codes and standards.

•Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.

•Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical in any room or building housing the generator to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to ensure correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.

•Keep the area around the generator clean and uncluttered. Remove any materials that could become hazardous.

•When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.

•Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only factory- approved parts.

•Before performing any maintenance on the generator, discon- nect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

•Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dan- gerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

•All stationary emergency generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dan- gerous voltages to the transfer switch as well as the generator. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., on the generator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

•Do not handle any kind of electrical device while stand- ing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

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.
