Let’s see what are the necessary preparations to get a generator ready for hurricane season.

First we need to perform a Preventive Maintenance
Check the generator's filters and fuel injectors.
Check the fuel and fuel tank for water or microbial growth such as bacteria or fungi.
Make sure the battery is charged.
Do some general cleanup such as vacuuming out any debris inside the generator as well as cleaning the exterior of the unit.
Perform a test on load to make sure everything is running as it should, because the last thing you want is to find out there is a problem in the middle of a storm.

The amount of maintenance necessary would of course be dependent on the number of hours the generator has already been run.

The first line of defense to ensure your lubrication system is not compromised is the oil filter.

The FG Wilson part #10000-64852 has been designed to capture 98.7 percent of the smallest particles in the engine oil.

This means your engine oil lasts longer and keeps the critical mechanical parts from prematurely wearing down.

The longer your engine oil lasts the more you save in service costs like labor and downtime.

Not having a bypass valve can lead to major engine failure when an oil filter becomes clogged.

The FG Wilson oil filter part number 10000-64852 comes perfectly designed to seal and does not allow any air in or out of the system.

In this tutorial we'll be looking at where to find the remote start also known as auto start.

The first thing you need to know is:

The two wires on the back of the control panel, labeled wires 24 and 5, are always the two remote start connection wires.
Next, you will need to refer to your generator, included wiring schematic and locate where it says remote start or auto start in order to find the relevant connections for wires 24 and 5.

Additionally we can also see that wire 5 must plug into terminal 6 which is linked with terminal 7.

Once these connections are made all you need to do is ensure that your control panel is set to auto and you are good to go.
