The generator is the “backup heart” for your business and family, a silent guardian that ensures all activities are uninterrupted when an electrical failure occurs. This is an important investment, and like every other value investment, it needs to be properly cared for in order to always be in the best shape.

So how to keep this “heart” always healthy and ready to work? Let's explore simple and surprisingly effective generator maintenance steps with Huu Toan.

1. Visually Examine:

Make it a habit to go for a tour and “visit” your machine. This only takes a few minutes but can help you spot potential problems early. Let's look for:

• Signs of leakage:Does oil, fuel or coolant leak?

• External damage:Cracks, dimples or frayed, open wiring?

• Loose Parts:Are the bolts, nuts secure?

Early detection of a minor problem can save you the cost of repairing a major damage later.

2. Periodic Startup:

This is one of the most important steps but is often overlooked. Running the machine periodically (approx.20-30 minutes per week or every two weeks) brings many benefits:

• Engine Lubrication:Lubricant is circulated, lubricating moving parts.

• Recharge the battery:Make sure the battery always has enough power to start the machine when it is most needed.

• Old Fuel Restrictions:Helps the fuel in the tank not to precipitate or deform.

Think of this as a gentle exercise that keeps your machine “supple.”

3. Liquid Level Test:

Like any engine, the generator needs enough types of fluids to work correctly. Check regularly:

• Lubricants:Low oil levels can cause serious damage to the engine.

• Cooling Water:Helps the machine not to overheat when operating under heavy loads.

• Fuel:Make sure you always have enough clean fuel, especially before rainy seasons or when there is a high risk of power outages.

4th. Lubricant and Filter Replacement:

Lubricants and filters (oil filter, air filter, fuel filter) are the most important parts. Over time, the oil will get dirty and lose lubrication, the filter will be clogged. Adhere to the oil and filter change schedule as recommended by the manufacturer (usually calculated by the number of hours of operation or by year).

This is the best way to extend engine life and maintain operational performance.

5. Keep Hygiene Clean:

Dirt, leaves, animals or garbage can accumulate on the machine, obstructing air flow and causing overheating. Keep the machine and the surrounding area clean and ventilated. A clean machine not only looks more professional, but also works more efficiently.

6. Battery Test:

A weak or damaged battery is one of the most common reasons why the generator cannot start. Let's:

• Cleaning the terminals:Remove corrosion marks to ensure the best connection.

• Check the charge level:Make sure the battery is always fully charged.

7. Use IoT system: Manage your machine remotely anytime, anywhere.

With Huu Toan IoT solution, you can monitor important machine parameters remotely via your computer or phone, making server management more efficient and more efficient.
