Example checks made on your diesel generator during a service:
- Status check on controller, aux equipment and switchgear to ensure system is healthy and without faults.
- Run Hours and service history to determine the level of maintenance required.
- Compliance check of entire installation to ensure your installation safe and doesn’t present any hazards to the operator.
- Fluid levels and condition checks including complimentary Sampling and Analysis to ensure that your fuel, oil and coolant is free from contaminants that could prevent operation.
- Cooling system check. Ensuring your radiator core is clean and without corrosion, coolant levels, pump operation and checking fan belt condition and tension to ensure adequate cooling during operation. Overheating is a common cause of engine failure.
- Starting system including battery test to ensure battery condition and starting capability.
- Battery charger and water heater checks. A common issue causing starting failure is attributed to failed charger or water heater operation.
- Hoses and mechanical linkages are checked for integrity, leaving no point of weakness that may become a point of failure during operation.
- Electrical checks are made to ensure that all switchgear, cables and components are adequately rated and suitable for purpose and that breaker protections are set correctly to prevent the alternator and cables from overloads and fault conditions.
- Running checks are made to ensure that your generator starts when called upon and runs without any issues.
- A clean down of your equipment to remove unwanted debris or contaminants that could cause harm or degrade components in your generator.
We can also provide load bank testing inclusive of your generator service agreement or as an additional service should this be required.
