How to restart your generator after the lockdown inactivity?

Do the 16-point check-up to ensure optimal performance

Your Atlas Copco Generator is made to work long and hard. And even when it has to stay inactive for a while – like in the recent lockdown period – it can’t wait to get going again. But before you turn the key to Start, do the 16-point check-up to ensure optimal performance.

Measure condition of coolant with refractometer tool and PH Meter
Top up with coolant if needed
Adjust and test brake system
Visual check of wheels and tire pressure RE-check
Test emergency stop
Test condition of fuel injectors
Replace engine oil and fuel filters
Visual check of air filters and clogging indicator – replace filters if needed
Dust Clean or Jet Wash radiator/intercooler
Drain/clean fuel tank water & sediments
Visual check of the electrical cables and harness for damages or loose tips
Check condition of hoses and clamps for leakages or possible ageing
Check battery electrolyte level and voltage
Inspect and grease/clean battery terminals if needed
Check alternator main power cable condition and connection points
Measure alternator insulation

Now, you’re ready for a smooth restart! Once you’ve checked everything, perform a load test in 4 steps, each step adding 25% of load (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Need additional support? Please contact your nearest Atlas Copco Service Center. We’re ready to support you … on-site and remotely.
