Environmental Checks
Ensure the area is well-ventilated and free from flammable/explosive materials
Never operate in enclosed spaces (homes/garages) due to carbon monoxide risk.Verify stable foundation installation with proper vibration damping
Fluid Level Verification
Check coolant, diesel and oil levels to specified marks.Use correct oil grade (never mix different viscosity grades).For cold climates (-15°C below), use -10 to -35 grade diesel
Generator set Filter Inspection
Replace "three filters" (air/fuel/oil) if overdue.Clean air filters every 50-100h; replace after 500h.Drain water from fuel filters regularly
Generator set Electrical System
Confirm battery voltage and secure connections.Check output/control cables for damage.Ensure automatic transfer switch is properly set
Special Preparations
For long-idle units (>5 days), manually rotate crankshaft 3-5 turns.New/overhauled engines require 50h no-load break-in.Use auxiliary heaters in low-temperature environments
Generator set Safety Measures
Wear protective gear during operation.Keep fire extinguishers accessible
Never start with connected loads
Always follow manufacturer's instructions and maintain operation records. For units with automatic transfer switches, verify both manual and auto modes function properly.
