The Importance of Generator Maintenance After Extended Use

When power outages occur, your generator becomes an essential lifeline, keeping your home or business running smoothly. However, if your generator runs continuously for more than 48 hours, it’s crucial to perform proper maintenance once power is restored. Without it, the prolonged use can lead to decreased performance and potential damage over time.

I had a hydraulic problem on my skid steer and called all my local dealers in the lake Ozark area. They were all weeks out and really acted like they didn’t want to take the job. We called Luby Equipment out of Springfield and they pulled it in the next day to diagnose, and got the ball rolling. Travis at the desk answered all our phone calls and let us know the progress. If my Case machine needs work from here on out, I’ll be taking it to Luby. Customer service was tip top

Response from the owner:Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We’re glad we could get you taken care of on such short notice. We know downtime is money lost, so keeping customers updated and getting machines back to work matters. We’ll make sure Travis and the Springfield team see this.

Why Generator Maintenance Is Necessary

After 48 hours of continuous operation, your generator’s oil begins to burn down, and its spark plugs weaken. These issues can compromise the reliability and efficiency of your unit, leaving you vulnerable during the next outage. Regular maintenance ensures your generator remains dependable when you need it most.

Luby Power Level 2 Service

To keep your generator in optimal condition, we recommend our Level 2 Service after 48+ hours of continuous runtime. This comprehensive service includes:

• Oil Change: Replacing burned-down oil to ensure smooth operation.
• Spark Plug Replacement: Installing new plugs for reliable ignition.
• Fluid Top-Off: Refilling essential fluids to maintain performance.
• Full Unit Inspection: A thorough check to identify and address any potential issues.

Proper winterization minimizes these risks and ensures your equipment is ready to perform even in the harshest environments.
