STANDBY GENERATORS / ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Introduction

Hey guys, Jeff here with a project tip for owners of standby generators. It's essential not to forget that these generators typically run a maintenance cycle once a week. They are usually set to run for about 15 to 20 minutes during these cycles. To keep your generator running smoothly, it's crucial to perform periodic maintenance checks. One of the key checks you should do is to ensure the oil levels are adequate. Let's dive into the details of how to perform a quick oil check on the 24 KW Guardian generator.

To perform an oil check on the 24 KW Guardian generator, simply lift the top cover, which is conveniently marked in orange for easy identification. The oil dipstick is easily accessible on the top of the generator. Ensure that the oil level is up to the full mark and that the oil is clean. Regular maintenance checks like these can help keep your generator in optimal condition and ready to kick in when needed.
