1.6 Accessories
The following optional accessories are offered for the
6VSG generator sets.
1.6.1 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for
improved cold starting in locations where the ambient
temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). The carburetor
heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing.
The heater requires a continuous source of AC power.

information.
