What must be checked before starting any generator?

Before starting any generator, it is essential to check the oil level. This is crucial because oil lubricates the engine components, reduces friction, and helps prevent overheating. If the oil level is too low, it can lead to serious engine damage or failure, as the engine may not operate correctly without proper lubrication.

Ensuring the oil level is adequate helps maintain the generator’s performance and longevity, preventing costly repairs or replacements and ensuring safe operation. The well-being of the engine largely depends on having the right oil quantity to effectively perform its function.

While checking the fuel level, battery voltage, and air filter condition are also important steps in pre-operational checks, they are secondary to ensuring the engine has adequate oil for safe and efficient operation.
