A GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE
How do you do the generator maintenance?
Service Know-How:
Service the generator
twice yearly. Even if
you're not using the
generator, it needs to
be serviced.
Create a generator
maintenance record
book: Keep this
updated with the dates
of service and any
issues found and fixed.
Start by checking the
overall condition of
the generator: Look
for corroded
elements, loose
wires, stuck buttons,
etc.
2. Fix anything loose,
stuck, or fraying: Seek
professional advice if
you're not sure what
to do. It is best to be
safe!
Check the distilled
water in the battery;
top up if needed. Also
check the battery's
voltage.
Clean the spark plugs. For
the dollar fifty price tag of a
spark plug, it is generally
best to just replace the
spark plugs annually
6. Check the bolts.
Note that bolts on
the generator will
tend to loosen after
reasonable usage
7. Check the fuel.
Gasoline that is simply
sitting in the generator
loses its effectiveness
after half a year when not
used.

Check that the following

items are properly
calibrated annually or
biannually, depending on
usage patterns. It is best
if a certified generator
technician makes these
Injectors checks
Always clean the
generator post-use.
This means removing
grease, mud, organic
matter, fuel, etc
2. If there are any signs of
corrosion present, treat with
an inhibitor product.
Store the generator
properly. A generator
should not be subjected to
moisture or water. Keep it
in a dry space and covered
against dust, mud, grime,
etc.
