At Generator Boys, we provide expert servicing and maintenance for all makes of generators used for both emergency and primary power supply. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your generator is available and reliable when you need it most. A well-maintained generator reduces the risk of unexpected failures, extends equipment life, and ensures optimal performance.
Planned maintenance involves performing scheduled service, inspections, and testing on your generator set at regular intervals. This proactive approach reduces downtime, prevents damage, and ensures your system stays in perfect working condition.
Calendar Cycle Schedule
Based on the manufacturer’s guidelines, services are scheduled on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis depending on the application.
Operating Inspections
Performed while the generator is running. For critical operations, we monitor performance continuously. For non-critical operations, we conduct basic operational checks during service intervals.
Layup Procedures
When generators are taken out of active use, we follow mothballing protocols to preserve and protect your equipment.
We customise maintenance schedules based on generator type and application, ensuring your servicing is tailored and effective.
As part of our generator servicing programme, we carry out comprehensive visual inspections and diagnostic checks, including:
Located on the air filter housing, this indicator shows when air intake is restricted beyond acceptable levels. A red signal means the filter must be replaced.
This component separates water from fuel. If water is detected, it can be drained manually — often an early warning of contaminated fuel.
Used on fuel tank dipsticks, this paste identifies water contamination in fuel. Pink = clean, Red = contaminated.
Oil floating on coolant (or a milky appearance) signals oil leakage into the cooling system — usually from a cylinder head gasket failure or engine block defect.
Milky oil on the dipstick indicates coolant has leaked into the oil system, often due to gasket or engine damage.
Generator Boys offers flexible and affordable service contracts for all generator makes and models. Whether you’re running a single backup unit or managing an industrial fleet, we ensure your systems are always ready for use.
