Maintenance
Establish and adhere to a definite schedule for mainte¬
nance and service based on the application and sever¬
ity of the environment. The table below covers the
recommended service intervals for a generator set on
STANDBY service. If the set will be subjected to extreme
operating conditions, the service intervals should be
reduced accordingly. Some of the factors that can affect
the maintenance schedule are the following:

« Extremes in ambient temperature
• Exposure to elements
• Exposure to salt water
• Exposure to windblown dust or sand.
