Servicing

What a generator service in Ormonde and Aeroton includes

A service on this belt fits the gap the shift roster allows, often in a dusty yard, so filters, fins and air intake take longer; yard tanks are sampled and a venue set is run under load before its first event.

  • Engine oil and filter, with the fuel, air and water-separator filters
  • Coolant level and condition, radiator, hoses and belts
  • Starting battery load-tested, charger output and terminals checked
  • Fuel system checked for leaks, water and contamination, tank to injectors
  • Alternator, AVR, output connections and earthing checked
  • Controller settings, alarms and hour meter recorded
  • Test run under load: voltage, frequency and temperatures
  • Changeover (ATS) operation confirmed where fitted

You get a written record of what was done and found. The full list is in our service checklist; generator servicing explains the work and a maintenance plan keeps it on schedule.

Intervals

How often a set here needs a service

The engine manual gives two intervals, hours and months, and the first reached wins: daytime load-shedding slots decide it for the works, the calendar for the venues.
How often a set here needs a service
The setHow it runs hereWhen it falls due
Factory or warehouse set in AerotonHow it runs hereEvery daytime slot, near full loadWhen it falls dueBy hours: a month of back-to-back slots uses the interval
Landlord set at a mini-unit parkHow it runs hereEach outage, well under its ratingWhen it falls dueYearly at least, run under load so it does not wet-stack
Works set in Booysens, Selby or OphirtonHow it runs hereEvery working-hours slot, in dustWhen it falls dueBy hours, with filters and fins cleared between
Venue set at Nasrec or Gold Reef CityHow it runs hereEvent days and the weekly testWhen it falls dueBy the calendar, before the busy season

The service intervals guide works the next date out from the hour meter; wet stacking covers light running.

Two examples. A prime power set that runs every day reaches its running-hours interval first. A standby set that only runs on test barely gains hours, so the time interval is reached first. Intervals come from the engine manual, by hours and at least once a year.

Prevention

What a service on this belt catches before the outage does

Most repairs on this belt were visible at the last service: fins packed with grinding dust, water under the diesel in a yard tank, a charger drifting high enough to cook the battery, an AVR sagging each time the welder strikes, each a line on the report.

Once a set has stopped, the Ormonde and Aeroton generator repairs page covers the faults we fix at factories, works and venues. Next door, Industria and Crown Mines and the Johannesburg CBD run on the same plans; see Johannesburg for the whole city.

  • Fins and filters cleared of grinding dust
  • Yard-tank water drained each visit
  • Changeover cycled on live mains

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Our Aeroton warehouse runs two shifts. When does the service happen?

Between them, or at the weekend: the engine work needs the set stopped, not the plant; only the transfer test moves the floor, so that is booked for the shift change.

Our panel shop’s set hardly runs, yet the battery is flat at every slot. Can a plan fix that?

Yes. A plan meters the charger and battery between services and runs the set under load monthly; a charger drifting low sulphates a battery in a season. See battery not charging.

Our venue set only runs on event days. How often does it need a service?

Yearly at least, with a test run before each busy spell. A set that stands between events loses charge and collects condensation; only a loaded run proves it.

We rent a unit and the landlord owns the set. Can we book the service ourselves?

Yes, with the landlord’s agreement. We quote whoever books, service the landlord set and any tenant sets on one date, and send the report to both.
