With
virtually every organisation reliant either wholly or in part on computer
systems, loss of data can prove catastrophic, the result being loss
of revenue, or in the case of hospitals, nursing homes and similar
establishments, could even mean loss of life.
Maintenance is the key to ensuring your system performs when needed
to keep the critical elements functioning when the power fails. Most
people just don’t have the time, equipment or experience to do
the job properly and at best they hopefully give the set a run now
and again. Consequently when an emergency does arise, for any one
of a number of faults liable to occur when the equipment is only intermittently
used, the set just won’t start.
Yet it is a simple job, if it is in the right hands.
FDL Generators have over 30 years experience, expertise and have
engineers throughout the country capable of maintaining installations
of any size in any location in the UK.

- The
set will be visited by our engineer every 3,4 or 6 months dependant
on your specific requirements.
- The
set will be thoroughly tested electronically and mechanically
prior to start up and we recommend that it be run for not less
than one hour on load per visit. The set will be allowed to run
off load for a short cooling period, then shut down. Water, oil
and battery levels will be topped up on completion of testing.
- Fuel
and air filters to be changed per manufacturers recommended intervals.
- We
recommend that lead acid batteries be changed every three years.
(See separate Policy Statement).
- Shell
recommend that antifreeze should be changed every two years.
- We
offer a 24 hour, 365 day emergency service, with a 4 hour response
time. A ‘Last call’ card is affixed to each machine,
giving the date when it was last serviced, our emergency telephone
number, and on the back, the Area Engineer and Back-up Engineers
name and mobile telephone numbers.
- It
has been normal policy until recently to change lubricating oil
and oil filters every 250 hours or every 24 months, whichever
is the sooner. However, tests over several years have proved that
oil in standby generating sets is often fit for further use. In
co-operation with Shell UK it is now company policy in agreement
with most of our customers, that we carry oil analysis tests,
once a year, and only if the results show it should be changed,
we will do so making us more environmentally aware and preventing
unnecessary waste.
