Generators maintenance tips
Generators are easy to neglect because they may sit idle until a storm, jobsite outage, or rental-style need. Exercise the unit, keep fuel fresh, and log oil changes by hours so emergency use does not erase the service history. Portable units need cord, outlet, ground, wheel, and frame checks before every use. Trailer-mounted diesel generators also need tire, lug, light, brake, coupler, and safety-chain inspections before towing. Dust, long runtime, heat, and light-load wet stacking can change service needs, so treat this table as a planning aid and confirm the exact schedule in the manual.
