As electricity becomes increasingly important to our lives, diesel generators, as independent power generation equipment, provide emergency power in case of power outages. Therefore, many places have diesel generator sets available. How should they be properly maintained when not in use?

In fact, the majority of the time the unit is in standby mode, and there are relatively few opportunities to put it into use. Many users often fall into a misconception after purchasing a diesel generator set. The unit is only inspected and maintained when in use, and idle when not in use. Once emergency electricity is needed, the diesel generator set will be unable to start due to improper maintenance. How to prevent the generator set from being damaged when not in use or used less frequently?

1. Firstly, it is necessary to check the battery pack. As the backup power supply is not frequently used, the key to whether the generator can start normally depends on the maintenance and upkeep of the battery. If there is a problem with the battery pack, a common situation is that there is voltage but no current. At this time, you can hear the sound of the electromagnetic valve in the starting motor closing, but it cannot move the connecting shaft.

2. Check if the intake port of the diesel generator set is sealed to prevent dust from entering and damaging the air filter.

3. Sufficient antifreeze should be added to the radiator to prevent the unit from freezing or rusting due to cold weather.

4. The fuel in the fuel filter of the diesel generator and the fuel in the engine oil passage should be drained to prevent moisture in the fuel from causing rust and biting of the fuel injection components. In addition, all used engine oil inside the diesel generator set should also be drained to prevent the oil from becoming thicker and failing to lubricate the set.

5. If the diesel generator set is not started for a long time, the manufacturer of Saiwei Energy recommends turning the crankshaft 1-2 times a month, and after each turning, the piston should be at the top dead center of compression.

Maintaining a diesel generator set well is also extending its service life. Regular maintenance is a guarantee that the diesel generator set can be started normally during emergency power supply.
