Many backup generator sets are idle for a long time, which may lead to battery depletion, fuel deterioration, parts rust and startup failure. KingPower provides professional storage and maintenance guidelines:
- Before storage, run the unit at full load for about 30 minutes to dry internal moisture.
- Disconnect the battery negative electrode and charge the battery regularly to maintain stable voltage.
- Fill the fuel tank completely and add fuel stabilizer; drain water and sediment regularly.
- Clean the exterior, cover with dustproof cloth and store in a dry, ventilated and flat environment.
- Perform a no-load test run for 10–15 minutes every month to check oil pressure, water temperature and output voltage.
With proper maintenance, even long-stored generator sets can maintain good performance and achieve instant startup whenever needed.
