Proper storage procedures maintain the reliability and performance of your diesel generator set during inactive periods. These guidelines help prevent common storage-related issues while preserving equipment readiness.
Environmental Conditions for Diesel Generator Set
Store the diesel generator set in a clean, dry location protected from extreme temperatures. The storage area should have adequate ventilation and be free from dust accumulation. Elevated platforms prevent moisture damage to the diesel generator set in flood-prone areas.
Fuel System Preparation
Stabilize fuel before storing the diesel generator set for extended periods. Either completely drain the fuel system or fill tanks with treated fuel to prevent condensation. Run the diesel generator set briefly after adding stabilizer to circulate treated fuel through the system.
Battery Maintenance for Diesel Generator Set
Disconnect and remove batteries from the diesel generator set during prolonged storage. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and maintain proper charge levels. Periodic charging preserves battery health for the diesel generator set's eventual return to service.
Protective Measures for Diesel Generator Set
Cover the diesel generator set with breathable materials to prevent dust accumulation while allowing air circulation. Insert desiccant packs in control panels and air intakes to absorb moisture. Seal exhaust and air intake openings to prevent pest intrusion.
Periodic Maintenance for Diesel Generator Set
Exercise the diesel generator set monthly by running it at partial load for recommended durations. This maintains lubrication throughout the system and verifies operational readiness. Rotate the diesel generator set's engine manually if extended non-use is unavoidable.
Following these storage precautions preserves your diesel generator set's condition and ensures quick return to operational status. Proper storage practices significantly reduce maintenance requirements when returning equipment to active service.
