PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Reasonable care in preventive maintenance will insure

high reliability and a long life for the engine generator set
and the Automatic Transfer Switch.

*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
When performing any type of maintenance on this
equipment make sure the selector switch on the engine
generator is in the off position. If you are working in the
Automatic Transfer Switch, confirm with a reliable meter
that all power has been disconnected.

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

Clean and inspect the switch once a year. De-energize

all power sources, both line and engine generator set,
then brush and vacuum away any excessive dust and
dirty accumulation. With the contactor de-energized you
can remove the contactor covers and check the contacts.
Make sure the contacts are clean and not burned or
pitted.

ENGINE GENERATOR SET

Service the engine in accordance with the engine

manufacturers manual provided with your new equipment.
Routinely remove debris and dirt from around and inside
generator enclosure. Insure that the air intakes are free
from leaves and other debris at all times.

Clean and inspect battery terminals at least twice a year.

Check the battery water level at least twice a year also.

Other than keeping the generator clean and free of

debris there is no other routine or preventive mainte-
nance required, as long as the generator is run once or
twice every other week to keep it dry and in good working
order.
