In this article we are going to share what PSS does when inspecting and preforming preventative maintenance, which hopefully provides something in here for you that's note worthy.
Debris: With debris coming in multiple forms one thing PSS does before starting up a generator is check for things such as leave or dirt that may be in or in surrounding areas of the breathing passage of the generator. This can be ventilation of the enclosure, or the air filters.
Batteries: Before starting your source for backup power it's important to check your battery for a good connection, corrosion, and if you can, apply a load-test to them. Cable connections from the generator to the building is another important source to check, as well as making sure you have good grounds.
Visual: As taking a walk around from the radiator the control panel PSS keeps a lookout for oil drips, loose fittings, and hose condition. When inspecting belts and tight connections it's important to disconnect power from the generator before engaging in any action within the generator.
Fluids: Correct amount of fluids from your engine to radiator is important to check to avoid overheating faults. When PSS is checking these things we will take PAG into consideration to help the longevity of our clients equipment.
With many more details to take into consideration, listed above are just a few basic principals PSS does before starting any piece of equipment, whether it is for a load-bank test, or a final installation for a client.
