Proper storage procedures are essential when the KMS series generator set needs to be kept inactive for extended periods. Following these precautions will help maintain its performance and prevent damage caused by prolonged disuse.
1. Preparation Before Storage
Thoroughly clean the exterior and internal components of the KMS series generator set to remove dust, oil residues, and other contaminants.
Change all fluids (engine oil, coolant, and fuel) to prevent degradation and corrosion during storage.
Run the generator briefly after fluid replacement to circulate fresh oil throughout the system.
2. Fuel System Protection
Either drain the fuel tank completely or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel breakdown and varnish buildup.
If keeping fuel in the system, run the KMS series generator set for a few minutes to ensure treated fuel reaches the injectors.
3. Battery Maintenance
Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place with periodic recharging.
Clean terminals and apply anti-corrosion grease to prevent oxidation.
4. Moisture & Rust Prevention
Store the KMS series generator set in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Use moisture-absorbing desiccants or dehumidifiers in the storage area.
Apply a light coat of rust inhibitor on exposed metal surfaces.
5. Periodic Maintenance During Storage
Every 2-3 months, briefly start the KMS series generator set to lubricate internal components and recharge the battery.
Inspect for signs of rodent damage, leaks, or corrosion.
By following these storage practices, the KMS series generator set will remain in optimal condition and be ready for immediate use when needed. Always consult the manufacturer's manual for specific storage recommendations.
