What Are the Maintenance Requirements for Rented Generators?
If you've rented a generator recently or plan to in the near future, it's important to understand your responsibilities when it comes to maintenance. Performing basic upkeep goes a long way towards preventing issues, saving you headaches and money down the road.
This month, be sure to check the oil level daily before starting. Refill if low using the manufacturer's recommended oil type. Inspect fuel lines and filters for blockages, leaks or cracks and replace if damaged. Change oil if due based on operating hours - check logs/manual. Ensure proper ventilation by clearing debris from enclosure vents. Wipe down external housing and clean connections.
Test emergency shut-offs and safety mechanisms to verify proper function. Check that emission controls like catalytic converters are intact with no abnormal sounds/smoke. Listen for unusual mechanical noises like knocking and address promptly. Monitor gauges for overheating.
Staying on top of generator care ensures optimum performance and reliability when you need it most. Ignore maintenance at your own peril!
