Preventative maintenance requires a variety of aspects to be inspected and monitored.

The exhaust system of the diesel generator should be inspected regularly, including the exhaust pipe, manifold, and muffler. During this inspection, it is essential to ensure that the exhaust pipes have not been excessively heating the surrounding areas. Also ensure that no joints, gaskets, welds, or connections are leaking.

The fuel system’s filters, return lines and fuel supply lines must be checked. Inspection must also be made for any abrasions or cracks in the system. Ensure that the return and supply lines are not rubbing against any components that may result in failure or breakage of the system.

Check the air intake system and replace or clean filters where necessary.

It is also important to inspect the electrical system, making sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. Unstable, corroded, or loose connections will have a negative impact on the generator’s ability to start properly.

Within the engine, the oil pressure, fluid levels, and coolant temperatures must also be inspected. Observe the sound of the engine and if there is any excessive exhaust smoke, misfires, vibration, variations in oil consumption, or loss of power.
