Generac 6560 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Generac 6560 cold weather kit work on my 15kW Protector diesel generator?
Yes. The 6560 cold weather kit is made for Generac 15kW and 20kW Protector series diesel generators. It is a diesel-specific kit, so it isn't the right part for an air-cooled gas or LP standby unit.
2) What comes in the Generac 6560 cold weather kit?
Two heating components: a block heater with all the mounting hardware needed, and a battery warmer with the thermostat built into the battery wrap. Installation hardware is included, so you aren't sourcing brackets or fasteners separately.
3) What power supply does the Generac 6560 battery warmer need?
The battery warmer runs on 120 volts, 75 watts, 0.63 amps. That is a standard 120V circuit draw, and the thermostat in the battery wrap cycles it, so it only pulls when temperatures drop below the set point rather than running continuously.
4) At what temperature do I actually need a cold weather kit on a Generac Protector diesel?
Generac recommends these kits anywhere temperatures regularly fall below 32F (0C). If your site sees sustained freezing weather, a diesel standby unit that has to start on demand is the case this is built for.
5) Do I have to change the oil when I install a Generac cold weather kit?
Yes, and it isn't optional. Installing the 6560 kit requires switching the engine oil to 5W-30 synthetic for cold start capability. Budget that oil change into the same service visit, because the kit alone won't get you the start performance without it.
6) Does the Generac 6560 kit heat the engine block or just the battery?
Both. A block heater keeps the coolant and engine warm for easier cranking, and a separate thermostatically controlled battery wrap keeps the starting battery at temperature. Cold kills both cranking amps and diesel start quality, so a kit that only addressed one would leave half the problem.
