Maintenance Tips
-
Oil & Filter Changes: Replace engine oil and filters every 100–200 hours or annually to prevent engine wear and ensure smooth operation.
-
App Connect Monitoring: Track performance, receive alerts, and detect issues remotely for proactive maintenance.
-
Coolant System Care: Maintain proper coolant levels and flush periodically to prevent overheating of the liquid-cooled engine.
-
Air Filter & Spark Plugs: Clean or replace regularly to maintain efficient combustion, reliable starts, and fuel economy.
-
Weekly Exercise Cycle: Automatic test runs keep internal components lubricated and generator ready for outages.
-
Load Testing: Run under actual or simulated load to ensure stable voltage, frequency, and full-capacity performance.
-
Fuel System Check (NG/LP): Ensure consistent fuel supply and clean lines for uninterrupted operation.
-
Battery & Electrical Connections: Check battery charge and terminals for reliable automatic startup.
-
Enclosure Maintenance: Keep the corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure clean and ventilated to prevent overheating and extend lifespan.
