Generator maintenance schedules
Two different maintenance rhythms: portable units tracked by engine hours, and whole-house standby units tracked by calendar schedules (Schedule A/B, weekly exercise).
Standby & home generators
Whole-house backup generators (Generac Guardian, Kohler, Cummins QuietConnect, Briggs Fortress) need weekly exercise, Schedule A every six months, and annual dealer service — not hour-meter tracking alone.
Portable & jobsite generators (engine hours)
Compare oil, filter, and inspection intervals for common portable and trailer-mounted generators. Verify exact requirements in each operator manual.
Track these intervals automatically with EquipHours
Set hour or mile intervals once, let crews log service in the field, and see what is coming due before a missed PM becomes downtime.
