GENERATORS
Due to the prolonged power outages, you may need to check the oil levels of your standby generator. You will need to check its oil level after 8 hours of runtime. Please be advised that the generator will be hot and needs time to cool. Please select the model of generator you own and you will learn how to check your oil levels, and add to it if necessary. For videos on how to check the oil in your generator, click here.
Make sure your Generator’s Control Board is clear of any fault codes that may be displayed on the screen. Below are some recommendations:
*Check oil Levels (see link above)
*Change your battery if it is older than 2 years
*Pay close attention to the generator’s weekly exercise test
*Manually start your generator; this is highly recommended but not mandatory via the run button or the blue manual button
Guide to manually starting your generator
-Open the generator lid
-Select “Manual” on the Control Board
-Allow the generator to run for at least 2 minutes
-Then turn the generator off by selecting “Off”
-Switch generator back to “Auto”
If the manual process of starting your generator was able to be completed, your generator is good to go. If the generator had any issues or a fault code appeared on the control board, please contact us.
