Key points for generator set maintenance in autumn and winter: These 5 checks are crucial.

As autumn and winter approach, temperatures continue to drop and air humidity increases. To ensure your Generator Set maintains stable and efficient operation during the cold season and extends equipment lifespan, Supermaly reminds you to pay attention to the following precautions:

1. Lubricating Oil and Coolant Check: Please replace with lower viscosity winter-specific lubricating oil according to the ambient temperature to ensure smooth cold starts. Also, check the antifreeze freezing point to ensure sufficient antifreeze capacity and prevent the cooling system from freezing and cracking the cylinder block.

2. Battery Maintenance Focus: Low temperatures significantly reduce battery capacity. Please be sure to check the battery electrolyte specific gravity and voltage to maintain sufficient charge. For generator sets that are not frequently used, it is recommended to periodically start charging or use a dedicated charger for float charging to prevent battery depletion and damage.

3. Fuel System Anti-condensation: For diesel generator sets, be sure to select diesel fuel with a pour point lower than the expected lowest ambient temperature in your area to prevent wax buildup in the fuel lines from clogging the filter and fuel lines, affecting normal fuel supply.

4. Regular Trial Runs: Even when the unit is in standby mode, it should be run under no-load at least once a month to lubricate moving parts and remove moisture, ensuring rapid and reliable startup in emergencies.

5. Maintain a Suitable Engine Room Environment: Ensure proper ventilation and insulation of the engine room to prevent low temperatures from affecting startup and to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Perform seasonal maintenance effectively to ensure a reliable power supply. Please contact us anytime if you have any questions or require professional services.
