Generac Part 5629 Cold Weather Kit for 1.6L Engine
The Generac 5629 Cold Weather Kit is an essential preventative accessory for standby generators located in regions where temperatures frequently drop below 32°F (0°C), with some sources suggesting it's especially recommended for temperatures that fall below 10°F.The kit's core purpose is to maintain the optimum temperature of the battery and engine oil (through a required oil change) to ensure the generator's engine can crank and start promptly during an automatic weekly test or, more critically, during a power outage.
