Maintenance
Providing regular maintenance for your standby generator power system ensure you enjoy many years reliable service.
While Generator Power Systems’ trained technicians take the work out of maintaining your system. However, if you feel a need to do it yourself, Generator Power Systems suggests basic routine maintenance twice a year–or, anytime you run the system for an extended period of time.
Start by checking the engine. It’s the hardest working component of yours system. It is, therefore, where trouble is most likely to happen.
- OIL: Check the oil level and change the oil as necessary. Typically, you should change it after 200 hours of use.
- SPARK: Check the spark plugs and change as necessary.
- COOLANT: Check the coolant on liquid-cooled generators and change as necessary.
Check the enclosure and space. Perform a visual inspection. Look for damage, debris, or anything that might block airflow.
Inspect the connections and wiring visually. If you see anything that doesn’t look right, call us and we’ll arrange for a technician to come check it for you. While you may feel comfortable changing oil in the engine, do not attempt to service electrical circuits on your own.
By performing regular maintenance on your system, you can rest assured your system will start when you need it most. Of course, you can trust Generator Power Systems to perform twice-annual service for you.
