Generac Part 6174 Extreme Cold Weather Kit For 1.5L; 25kW & 30kW
The Generac 6174 is a Cold Weather Kit designed for 1.0L and 1.2L liquid-cooled standby generators (typically 13kW to 20kW models). This kit ensures winter reliability by including two thermostatically controlled heating elements: a battery warmer to maintain battery cranking power, and an oil heater (oil pan warmer or block heater) to prevent oil thickening. The kit mandates the use of 5W-30 synthetic oil for guaranteed starting in freezing temperatures.
