Having a well-maintained standby generator system is the best way to keep your business going even after a blackout. For hospitals and other health-care facilities, backup generators can be life saving. For businesses like data centres, power blackout can be costly. Other critical facilities at risk include government offices, police departments, fire stations, airports, and water/sewage treatment plants.
Therefore, it is important to always make sure your generator is well maintained. Here are steps on how to maintain your generator.
• Always ensure that they have a routine general inspection
• Check the coolant level during shutdown periods at the specified interval
• Generators are subject to contamination and corrosion within a period of one year, and therefore regular generator set exercise is highly recommended to use up stored fuel before it degrades.
• The battery must be kept fully charged and well maintained to avoid dwindling by regular testing and inspection to know the current status of the battery and avoid any start-up hitches of the generator.
• Always keep your generator clean to make your engine run smoothly and last longer.
