Daily Maintenance Precautions for Workshop Generators

Time：2025-12-20 15:28:27 Edit：HuaQuan Traffic Index：10

A workshop generator is installed inside an industrial workshop and provides backup or regular power for production equipment, lighting, and critical systems.

I. Advantages of Workshop Generators
Workshop generators are highly efficient and stable, with strong power. They can start quickly during a mains power outage, providing continuous power to the workshop, ensuring seamless operation of the production line, and preventing production stoppages and economic losses.

II. Huaquan Power is a professional generator manufacturer for workshops in China
Huaquan Power was established in 2010, with industries involving power generation equipment, new energy storage equipment, high and low voltage complete sets of equipment, power engineering, and more, creating three major brands: "HQ-POWER," "HUAQUAN," and "Huaquan." Currently, the company has developed into a strong global brand in the power industry, with cumulative global sales exceeding 1 million units.
Huaquan Power has a deep understanding of the electricity needs of industrial workshops. Its product line is extensive, allowing it to accurately match various solutions from conventional backup power to continuously operating primary power sources.
Huaquan Power works closely with engine brands to ensure from the source that the power components of workshop generators are strong, durable, and have a low failure rate.
Huaquan Power has a mature production system and strict quality inspection processes, ensuring that every workshop generator leaving the factory meets standards in terms of stability, energy efficiency, and environmental protection.
Huaquan Power has established a comprehensive service network, offering timely pre-sale consultation, installation guidance, and after-sales maintenance, giving you peace of mind.

III. Advantages of Workshop Generators
The core advantages of workshop generators are ensuring continuous production and providing stable power.
Ensuring uninterrupted production: They can seamlessly switch on when the mains power suddenly cuts off, preventing equipment downtime, production line paralysis, and significant losses due to the loss of production data.
Providing stable voltage and frequency: Workshop generators supply clean and stable electricity to equipment sensitive to power quality, such as precision machine tools and automation systems, protecting them from damage caused by mains power fluctuations.
Meeting peak electricity demand: During periods of high electricity use, workshop generators can serve as a supplementary power source, preventing trips or power restrictions caused by insufficient main grid capacity and ensuring full-load production.
Coping with special scenarios: In new factory areas, remote construction sites, or regions not covered by the grid, workshop generators can act as the main or temporary power source, ensuring projects proceed smoothly.

Daily Maintenance Precautions for Workshop Generators
IV. Daily Inspection of Workshop Generators:
Daily inspections are the first line of defense in maintenance work and are recommended to be carried out at least once a week.
1. Check of Liquid Media: This is the most critical part of the inspection.
Engine Oil: Check the oil level of the workshop generator to ensure it is between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick. Also, observe the oil color; if it is noticeably dark or emulsified, it needs to be addressed promptly.
Coolant: Check the coolant level in the workshop generator radiator. If the level is low, add antifreeze coolant of the same brand and model to avoid mixing.
Fuel: Make sure the diesel fuel tank is sufficiently filled to handle potential extended power outages and check for any signs of leakage.
2. Appearance and Environment Check:
Keep the workshop generator body and surrounding area clean, free of oil stains or debris accumulation.
Ensure the cooling vents are unobstructed to prevent high-temperature operation caused by poor heat dissipation.
3. Electrical System Check:
Battery: Check whether the terminals are securely fastened and whether there is any white or green corrosion. Keep the battery surface clean and dry, and measure the voltage to ensure it is in a normal float-charging state.

V. Periodic Maintenance of Workshop Generators:
Strictly following the maintenance manual provided by the equipment manufacturer for periodic maintenance is the key to ensuring the long-term stable operation of workshop generators.
1. Engine Oil and Filter Replacement: This is a crucial maintenance item. The first replacement is usually carried out after the initial 50-100 hours of operation, and then every 250-500 hours of operation or every six months, whichever comes first. Replace the oil filter at the same time.
2. Maintenance of the "Three-Filter" System of Workshop Generators:
- Air Filter: Clean or replace it regularly depending on the dust level in the working environment. A clogged air filter can lead to insufficient air intake for the workshop generator, resulting in reduced power and increased fuel consumption.
- Fuel Filter: Regularly drain the water and impurities from the bottom of the fuel filter, and replace it as per the specified schedule to ensure clean fuel.
- Oil Filter: Replace it synchronously with the engine oil.

VI. Simulation Testing, Recording, and Safety:
To prevent workshop generators from experiencing "shutdown failures" due to long-term inactivity, regular simulated operation is important.
No-load operation: The workshop generator should be started every month and run under no-load conditions for 10-15 minutes.
Testing value: This not only lubricates the internal components of the engine and prevents oxidation, but also burns off carbon deposits, charges the battery, and checks whether the automatic start function of the workshop generator is working properly.
Recording and Safety:
Maintenance records: Establish detailed maintenance logs. Every inspection, maintenance, test, and troubleshooting must be recorded to form a traceable equipment health record.
Safety guidelines: All maintenance operations must be carried out when the workshop generator is completely shut down, cooled, and disconnected from the mains power to ensure personnel safety.

VII. Q&A on Workshop Generators
1. How to choose the power of a workshop generator?
Power: Calculate the total starting and running power of all key equipment in the workshop (especially high-power motors, such as air compressors and machine tools) and leave a margin of 15%-20%.
2. What are the requirements for the installation location of a workshop generator?
It should be installed in a well-ventilated area, away from fire sources, with a level floor, ensuring unobstructed air intake and exhaust, and leaving enough space for maintenance.
3. Why should a workshop generator run unloaded every month?
To lubricate the engine, remove carbon deposits, charge the battery, and verify its startup reliability in emergency situations.
4. What should be done before long-term storage of a workshop generator?
Be sure to either drain or fill the fuel (and add a fuel stabilizer), change the engine oil, disconnect the battery, and apply anti-rust treatment to key parts.

VIII. Application Areas of Workshop Generators
Production Support: As a backup power source during mains power outages, workshop generators ensure the continuous operation of production lines, CNC machines, automated equipment, and other machinery, preventing production interruptions and economic losses.
Primary Power Source: In newly built factory areas not yet covered by the power grid, remote construction sites, or outdoor work sites, workshop generators serve as the main power source to support project progress.
Power Capacity Expansion: During peak electricity demand periods, workshop generators act as supplementary power sources to prevent tripping or power limitations caused by insufficient main grid capacity.

The main application area of workshop generators is to provide stable and reliable power support for various production activities. Daily maintenance should be observed during use to ensure the normal operation of the workshop generator and the smooth continuation of work.
