What is generator maintenance?
Diesel generator sets whether for purposes of a main or emergency supply, must be regularly maintained to ensure quality and longevity. Every standby generator should go through a preventative maintenance service regimen either every 400 hours or every 6 months (typically works out to be once a year) – depending on how regularly the generator is used.
The benefits of a generator maintenance service are:
- Extends longevity
- Prevent failures down the road e.g. discharged battery
- Helps maintain efficiency
- Provides emergency power for many years
- Prevents diesel from wet stacking
- Checks for signs of wear
- Drain and replace fuel
- Inspect and replace oil filter
