Proper storage of standby generator is crucial for maintaining their reliability and extending their service life. Whether they are idle seasonally or stored for the long term, these precautions ensure that the equipment remains operational in emergencies.
1、Environment Selection
Store the standby generator in a dry, temperature-controlled space to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion.
Avoid areas with direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations, which may degrade rubber seals and wiring insulation.
2、Pre-Storage Preparation
Fuel System: Drain the fuel tank or add a stabilizer to prevent varnish deposits. Run the standby generator for 5 minutes to circulate treated fuel through the system.
Battery Care: Disconnect and recharge the battery monthly, or use a maintainer to avoid sulfation.
Protective Measures: Cover the standby generator with a breathable fabric to deter dust accumulation while allowing airflow.
3、Periodic Maintenance
Rotate the engine manually every 3 months to prevent bearing rust.
Inspect rodent deterrents near the standby generator, as pests may nest in wiring compartments.
4、Reactivation Protocol of standby generator
Before reuse, verify all fluid levels, reconnect the battery, and perform a test run without loads to detect abnormalities.
By adhering to these guidelines, your standby generator will remain in optimal condition during idle periods.
