Here is a detailed Electrical Generator Maintenance Checklist as per ISO standards —
mainly based on ISO 8528 (for generator sets), ISO 9001 (quality management), and ISO 14001
(environmental management), along with good industry practices.
✅ Daily Maintenance Checklist
(Before each use or daily if running continuously)
| Sr. | Checkpoint | Description | |-----|------------|-------------| | 1 | Visual Inspection | Check for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose wires or connections | | 2 | Oil Level | Check and top up engine oil | |
3 | Coolant Level | Inspect coolant in radiator or reservoir | | 4 | Fuel Level | Ensure sufficient
diesel/petrol/gas | | 5 | Battery Voltage | Confirm proper voltage and connection tightness | | 6 |
Warning Lights | Check for any alerts on control panel | | 7 | Cleanliness | Ensure generator and
surroundings are clean and dry | | 8 | Exhaust System | Check for leaks or blockages |
