When using a generator

When using a generator

  • Before purchasing a generator, measure installed power and determine exactly your needs.
  • Check the fuel level before starting your generator.
  • Check the oil level and air filter. Never try to operate your generator without oil or a low oil level.
  • Never operate your generator inside your home/office or any indoor environment. The gas coming out of the generator exhaust is harmful and dangerous for human health.
  • For portable generators, do not plug your generator directly into your home sockets. Be sure to use a pole reverser switch.
  • Keep your generator away from inflammable and flammable materials and devices such as stoves, ovens, and heaters.
  • Do not approach the generator with any flammable material in your hand.
  • Do not touch hot parts such as the engine and exhaust while the generator is running.
  • Strictly follow the periodic maintenance instructions specified in user and installation manuals.
  • Run your portable generator for 10-15 minutes in certain periods even if there is no power outage. Provide an annual periodic maintenance agreement with authorized services for your diesel generators.
  • Make sure to have a fire extinguisher close to your generator.
  • Check the energy transmission cables regularly, if there are worn cables, replace them.
  • In case of a problem with your generator, always consult an authorized service.
