The objective of this publication is to assist users in establishing a Preventive Maintenance Program for Standby Generator Sets or as an aid in evaluating their present programs.Standby Generator Sets may not be needed very often, but when they are, it is usually under emergency conditions. Maintenance of these standby units is very important. They must always be in excellent operating condition and ready to work under load at any time.Establishing a Preventive Maintenance Program will provide maximum availability of a standby generator set when needed, longer engine and generator life, and a minimum of expensive repairs.The recommended WEEKLY maintenance checks can be performed by an operator. All YEARLY and THREE YEAR maintenance should be performed by an authorized mechanic or your Caterpillar dealer.These guidelines are to be used with the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your engine. The Operation and Maintenance Manual will provide the necessary information on how to perform the checks and routine maintenance. Additional information can be obtained from the Generator and Engine Service Manuals, or contact your Caterpillar dealer for assistance.
This manual is NOT to be used in place of the Operation and Maintenance Manual for Standby Generator Set Engines that are sold strictly for standby applications.However, this manual is a supplement for Industrial and Generator Set Engines that are operated in a standby generator application.
