Maintenance
Schedules
A regular preventive maintenance schedule will ensure peak
performance, minimize breakdowns and maximize generator life. The
schedule listed below is a guide for operating under standard conditions.
Specifi c operating conditions may require reduced or increased
maintenance intervals. Also, if there is a different or more specifi c
schedule for your generator than the schedule provided below, it will be
included as a supplement to the manual package.
Every day
Visually check generator bearing housings for any sign of oil seepage.
Check the operating temperatures of the generator stator windings.
Check the control panel voltmeter for proper stability and voltage output.
Monitor the power factor and generator loading during operation.
With generators that have sleeve oil bearings, check the operating
temperatures and sight glass levels (if applicable).
Every week
Visually inspect the bearing exterior for dirt, and clean if necessary.
Inspect any generator air fi lters for build up of contaminants, and clean or
replace as required
Every 2000 Hours or 6 months of operation
Remove generator outlet box cover. Visually inspect the stator output
leads and insulation for cracking or damage. Check all exposed electrical
connections for tightness. Check transformers, fuses, capacitors, and
lightning arrestors for loose mounting or physical damage. Check all lead
wires and electrical connections for proper clearance and spacing.
Clean the inside of the outlet box, air screens, bearing housings, and air
baffl es with compressed air and electrical solvent if needed.
