Maintaining Your Generator

Well-maintained generators can last a long time. Diesel generators require the least amount of service and are the easiest to maintain. There are no spark plug to change, no carburetor to clean or ignition cables to ware out.

Generators no matter what type require regular oil changes. This is easy to do this yourself and should be done about every 100 hours. The cost of oil is cheap in comparison to the extended life you give your generator by changing the oil often. Remember generators often end up running non stop at high speeds for hours or days. Your car does not even get that much use. Even if you do not use a generator for 3 months, change the oil anyway. Oil does go bad and break down over time.

Check air filters and fuel filters and replace as required.

There are plenty of generator service companies that can come and do the above for you as well as any repairs if needed however just make sure the dealer you purchase from carries spare parts and actually has them in stock.
