Generac Part 7102 9-26kW Air Cooled Oil Heater Kit
The Generac Model 7102 is not a generator unit; it is a vital, specialized accessory known as the Oil Heater Kit (or Oil Warmer Kit). This kit is essential for ensuring reliable automatic starting and proper engine lubrication for Generac standby generators installed in regions that experience consistently low temperatures. This is a thermostatically controlled heating element engineered for a wide range of Generac air-cooled standby generators. Its function is to directly counteract the thickening effect of cold weather on engine oil.
