Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Generators sit idle for months at a time, which can lead to problems that only show up when you need power most. Regular maintenance prevents:

• Battery failure — The number one reason generators don’t start when needed.
• Fuel system issues — Stale fuel and clogged lines prevent reliable starting.
• Oil degradation — Old oil can damage internal components and reduce engine life.
• Connection corrosion — Louisiana’s humidity accelerates corrosion on electrical connections.
• Warranty requirements — Most manufacturer warranties require documented regular maintenance.
