Taking Care of Inverter Portable Generators

Taking care of your inverter portable generators is very important. Because this piece of machine is very useful, making sure that it is kept in a good working condition is essential. Generators produce electricity for homes and for work areas where there is no source of electricity, they also provide electricity for campers and mobile home owners. This piece of equipment will also help you in times of calamities and in urgent situations thus it is important that it is well taken care of.

Care before use

Before you use your inverter generator you must make sure that it is located in a safe spot. Because generators end to vibrate, putting it on an un-even surface may cause it to fall or tip over. A place where there is a level surface away from water or any liquid substance that may spill over the generator which will certainly damage the machine.

Make sure that you have sufficient fuel and there are no damaged wires. Keep the machine away from open flame as it might catch fire. You also need to make sure that you wipe the whole machine after refuelling with dry cloth to absorb any spilled fuel. Open wires can also spark and ignite or even electrocute someone, so it is a must that all wires are checked and connections should be secured.

Care during use

During operation, always make sure that your generator doesn’t run out of fuel. Even though they may have an auto shut down function, keeping it well fuelled will prolong its lifespan and keep a steady flow of electricity. It is also important that you keep the load within the load threshold of the machine. Overloading the generator will force it to produce more than its capacity which will certainly damage not only the machine itself but your devices and tools as well.

Care after use

Always store your generator in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight and rain. Make sure that before you store it that you wipe it with clean cloth and turn its switch off. Also make sure that its fuel cap is tightly secured and cable wires are detached. So that’s about it. Thank you and have fun.
