Hurricane Prep: Generators

Hurrican prep: Generators

Make sure your generator is ready. 

A home standby generator will only work when it’s needed most if it is properly maintained. Be sure to: 

  • Clear debris and any obstructions away from the generator. 
  • Keep at least 3 ft. of clearance around the generator. This also includes moving plants and decorations away from the generator. 
  • Ensure the inside of the enclosure is free of debris (such as leaves, sticks, dirt, etc.).
  • Check your battery for proper charge and clean any corrosion on the terminals. 
  • Check the air filter. If it’s dirty or damaged, replace it. 
  • Check the oil level. If low, then top off and verify the next oil and filter change interval. 
  • Inspect lines and connections for fuel or oil leaks. Fix as necessary. 
  • Check spark plugs. If the gap is out of tolerance, re-gap or replace it. 
  • Check sediment trap. Empty if necessary.
