What to Do After Receiving Your New Generator Set?


Correct Procedures After Receiving a Generator Set – GENLITEC Guide

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for choosing GENLITEC’s generator set! To ensure stable and efficient operation of your generator, we have prepared this detailed guide to help you with installation, commissioning, and initial use after receiving the equipment.


1. Check Packaging and Appearance

Upon receiving the generator set, carefully inspect the packaging for any damage during transportation. If you notice any visible damage or missing items, please contact our customer service team immediately. Also, verify that all accessories listed in the packing list are included, such as the battery, tools, and user manual.


2. Check the Installation Environment

Ventilation & Cooling: Ensure that the installation site has good ventilation to prevent overheating or moisture-related issues.

Level Ground: The generator set should be placed on a firm, level surface to avoid excessive vibrations or damage.

Waterproofing & Dust Protection: If installed outdoors, take necessary measures to protect the unit from water and dust to extend its lifespan.


3. Check Fuel, Oil, and Coolant Levels

Engine Oil: Check that the oil level is within the recommended range and use the appropriate type of oil. Regular oil changes are essential for the long-term reliability of the generator set.

Fuel: Ensure the fuel type meets the generator’s requirements and fill the tank to the specified level. Inspect the fuel system for any leaks.

Coolant: Ensure the cooling system has sufficient coolant and use the proper antifreeze mixture to prevent overheating.


4. Check the Battery

• Verify that the battery voltage is within the normal range and that the battery terminals are securely connected without corrosion. Charge or replace the battery if necessary.


5. Inspect the Electrical System

Wiring Check: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free from looseness.

Voltage Adjustment: Use a multimeter to check the generator’s output voltage and adjust the voltage regulator if needed.


6. Check the Control Panel

Inspect the control panel to confirm that all switches, buttons, and indicators are functioning correctly. Ensure the start and stop buttons respond properly, and check that fault indicators display correctly.


7. Start the Generator Set

Once all inspections are complete, you can proceed with the initial startup:

No-load Startup: Ensure all fuel, oil, and battery systems are normal before starting the generator without any load. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations.

Load Testing: If no abnormalities occur in the no-load test, gradually add load to ensure the generator can operate stably under different load conditions.


8. Load Testing & Adjustment

• Conduct load testing to verify that the generator can deliver the required power output while monitoring key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature. Adjust voltage and frequency as needed.

• Ensure that the cooling system is functioning correctly and that both oil and water temperatures remain within the normal range.


9. Record and Document Information

• Record all commissioning data (e.g., temperature, power output, voltage) for future maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Keep the technical manual, user guide, and warranty documents for future reference.


10. Regular Maintenance & Servicing

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in the user manual, including oil changes, filter replacements, and fuel system inspections. Proper maintenance will extend the generator’s service life.


Final Reminder:

To ensure the best performance and long-term reliability of your generator set, please follow our operating instructions and maintenance plan.
