Professional generator maintenance should include:
Generator InspectionThe technician will inspect the overall condition of the generator and specific components, such as fuel supply lines, shut-off valves, the exhaust system, air filter, engine block heater, carburetor heater, and all wires, cables, and connections. The inspection also includes checking for adequate airflow, testing the transfer switch, and simulating a power outage to ensure that everything is working properly.
Generator CleaningKeeping the components of the system clean reduces wear and tear on the generator. Thorough maintenance includes cleaning battery terminals, fuel filter sediment, generator housing, door hardware, brushes, and slip rings. Engine oil should be drained and replaced, and the oil filter and spark plugs should be changed. The engine oil pressure will be recorded.
Generator TestingSeveral components will be checked and tested, including the battery voltages, battery under a load test, battery charging system, governor spring, and safety shutdowns. The generator voltage will be adjusted, and all results of the testing will be documented.
At A-Lectric Company and Contracting, our professional generator services include all of the above and more!
