Make sure your generator is ready for the next unexpected power outage. Basic preventative maintence is the first step. Generators should be exercised every two months and let run for approximately 15-20 mins. If a generator becomes hard to start, it may require attention.
These quick and easy steps should be followed every time you pull out the generator whether it is for exercise or to power the house. Check your oil. Checking your oil level and color are vary important. You never wanted to run a generator with low oil levels as the engine could starve for oil. The oil color can give you an idea if it is time to have the oil changed.
