A maintenance schedule for your generator
Maintenance intervals depend on the manufacturer's requirements, running hours, time since the last service and operating conditions. A standby generator still needs attention when it runs infrequently: batteries deteriorate, fluids age and leaks or corrosion can develop between outages.
Mechanical and electrical condition checks
Checks cover relevant engine fluids, filters, belts, hoses, leaks, cooling components, starting batteries, battery charging and visible electrical connections. Controller alarms and operating history help identify additional work. Inspection and testing are carried out with the appropriate isolation and safety controls.
Operational checks and maintenance records
Starting the engine is only part of a maintenance check. Where included in the agreed work, checks also cover output voltage and frequency, operating indications and automatic-start functions. Service records should identify work completed, faults found and any recommended follow-up.
Plan work around your operating hours
Tell us which equipment relies on the generator and when it can be taken out of service. We agree the work, access requirements and any required power interruptions before the visit. Repairs and replacement components outside the maintenance agreement are quoted separately.
Generator maintenance contracts
A maintenance agreement sets out the equipment covered, service intervals, inspection tasks and reporting requirements. It should also specify how call-outs, consumables, replacement parts and load testing are handled. Contact EMPS to discuss an agreement for your generator and operating requirements.
