Important Maintenance for Standby Generators

By regularly servicing your generator, you may be able to extend the life of your generator and prevent breakdowns. Some basic maintenance tips include:

• Run your generator on a regular basis. By turning it on for five minutes or so once a month, you’ll be able to check the battery, make sure that things sound smooth and that power is flowing, and make sure that all moving parts are working. 
• Check the fuel levels prior to running. This is an easy thing to do that can help to ensure everything stays in working condition. While checking fuel, also check coolant and oil levels, too.
• Assess for leaks. If there are wet patches on the ground near or directly under the generator, this is not a good sign. There may also be internal leaks that are harder to diagnose. 
• Do a visual inspection of all wiring and accessories, looking for areas of damage. Keep an eye out for split wires, rust, built-up debris, and other physical damage, such as dents. 
• Change the air filter. Depending on how much you’re running your generator, you’ll probably only need to do this once or twice a year. While you’re at it, you can also change the oil and fuel filter, too.
• Schedule maintenance with a technician for the rest. In addition to the above, you should strongly consider hiring a professional technician who can check the electrical system, the exhaust system, the drive belts, and much more. Unless you’re trained in generator maintenance yourself, it’s best to work with a certified professional who is.
