The passive dies...

    I was wondering if changing my Generac battery every 2 years was too often? Interstate Batteries recommended changed every 2 years to be safe. I do run the generator every week for 5 minutes to keep everything lubricated and conditioned, battery included. Now, after watching your video, I will be changing my Interstate Battery every 2 years. The one time the generator will not start will be the time it is needed. My luck, a tropical storm or severe cold. "Better to be safe than sorry," as the old saying goes.

    • @duthiepowerservices
      @duthiepowerservices 2 месяца назад

      It is advisable not to run the unit during the fuel tank cleaning or polishing service. During the cleaning process, the diesel fuel is agitated while extracting water and debris, causing any existing contaminants in the tank to become suspended and sucked into the engine's fuel supply. This poses a significant risk of clogging the filters or causing damage to internal fuel system components. It is best to keep the unit in the off position or locked out during any fuel tank maintenance procedures. After completion, it should also be kept offline for an additional 30 minutes. This will allow any residual particulates that may have been missed during cleaning to settle back to the bottom of the tank, minimizing potential risks to the system.

      Thanks for watching! Your question is best answered by a professional who performs an onsite assessment, but here are a few important steps to take: inform AQMD and/or the City of removal, drain all fluids including fuel, oil, and coolant, disconnect and /or remove batteries, disconnect all conductors from generator and ATS (depending on whether the ATS is staying or going), arrange truck transport, installation and permitting in new location. Keep in mind, it can also be difficult to move an older (used Generator) and get it permitted, depending on the location. We hope that's helpful!

    Would exercising weekly on a 15-30 min basis be okay on Propane fueled Generator?

    • @duthiepowerservices
      @duthiepowerservices 3 месяца назад

      It's advisable to run the equipment long enough to reach engine operating temperature (with coolant temperature approaching 180 degrees Fahrenheit. For specifics on your engine, refer to your engine's operation manual). We recommend all customers run their equipment for at least 15 minutes weekly. This will exercise your unit for 13 hours per year just for monthly testing purposes. It's essential to adhere to the guidelines outlined in your operating permit, however. A longer runtime is more beneficial for the longevity of the unit by making sure all the internal components are lubricated with engine oil, it also ensures a fresh charge of fuel in the line to assist in starting, plus it helps you catch issues with your equipment in between power interruptions. For professional assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us at www.duthiepower.com. Thanks for watching!

      I believe the generator he's referring to is a standby generator. Portable generators, should be exercised every month or two., for about 15 to 30 min. under load.
