Proactive Care for Uninterrupted Power

A diesel generator set is a significant investment. Protecting that investment requires a consistent and thorough preventive maintenance schedule. Proper Technology & Operation practices not only prevent costly breakdowns but also extend the unit's lifespan and ensure it starts instantly when needed.

Daily/Weekly Checks

• Coolant Level: Check the radiator coolant level and top up if necessary with the correct mixture.
• Engine Oil Level: Ensure the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick.
• Fuel Level: Keep the tank as full as possible to prevent condensation and ensure adequate runtime.
• Visual Inspection: Look for any obvious leaks, loose bolts, or damage.

Monthly Checks

• Battery Check: Inspect terminals for corrosion and ensure the battery is fully charged.
• Fuel Water Separator: Drain any accumulated water from the fuel filter/water separator.
• Air Filter: Check the restriction indicator or visually inspect the filter. Clean or replace if dirty.

Scheduled Maintenance (Every 250-500 Hours or 6 Months)

• Oil and Filter Change: Replace engine oil and the oil filter. This is the most critical routine service.
• Fuel Filter Change: Replace the primary and secondary fuel filters.
• Air Filter Change: Replace the air filter element.
• Coolant Check: Test coolant strength and condition.

Annual/Extended Service

• Coolant Change: Replace the engine coolant as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
• Professional Inspection: Have a certified technician perform a full load test and inspect the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), alternator, and control panel.

Adhering to this checklist will keep your generator, whether it's a silent or open frame model, in peak condition. For complex servicing of brands like Perkins or Chongqing Cummins, always rely on trained professionals.
