Apex Generator Hire offer the following routine Maintenance and Servicing

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of your generator. Here are some examples of works we undertaken during maintenance and servicing:

Routine Maintenance

• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines: Adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule, which typically includes:
  
  • Oil changes
  • Filter replacements (air, fuel, oil)
  • Battery checks and maintenance
  • Cooling system inspections
• Inspect for wear and tear: Regularly check for signs of damage, corrosion, or excessive wear on components such as belts, hoses, and wiring.

Professional Servicing

• Schedule regular inspections: Have a professional technician inspect the generator periodically to identify and address potential issues.
• Consider a maintenance contract: Some service providers offer maintenance contracts that include regular inspections, repairs, and maintenance.

Fuel Storage and Handling

• Use fresh, high-quality fuel: Avoid using old or contaminated fuel, as it can clog fuel lines and injectors.
• Add fuel stabilizer: When storing the generator for extended periods, add fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from degrading.
• Proper fuel storage: Store fuel in a cool, dry place away from open flames or sparks.

Load Management

• Avoid overloading: Don’t exceed the generator’s rated capacity, as this can lead to overheating and damage.
• Use a load bank: Periodically test the generator under load to ensure it’s operating properly.

Emergency Preparedness

• Practice starting and operating: Regularly practice starting and operating the generator to ensure you are familiar with its operation.
• Have a backup plan: Develop a plan for how you will use the generator in case of a power outage.

Environmental Considerations

• Proper ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the generator to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Noise reduction: If noise is a concern, consider using a noise-reducing enclosure.
