Campfire Blog #7 | How to Keep Your Generator Happy

Keeping your generator running smoothly is essential for ensuring you have power when you need it most. Here are some tips to help you maintain your generator and avoid any unexpected issues.

Keep it Clean and Covered

Make sure to keep your generator clean and free of debris. Regularly check for any dirt or dust buildup that could affect its performance. Additionally, always cover your generator when it's not in use to protect it from the elements.

Avoid Overloading

It's important not to overload your generator. Be mindful of the wattage rating and only run appliances and electronics that are necessary. Overloading can damage your generator and the devices connected to it.

Use Good Fuel

Using good quality fuel is crucial for the proper functioning of your generator. Avoid using old fuel as it can gum up and clog the fuel lines. Good fuel helps protect the components of the generator from damage.

Regular Maintenance

Check the oil and spark plugs of your generator after every 100 hours of use. This routine maintenance can help prevent any major issues and keep your generator running smoothly.

Keep Spare Parts Handy

Always have extra oil and air filters on hand in case they need to be replaced. Having these spare parts readily available can save you time and ensure your generator continues to operate efficiently.
