Never Dark would like to help all our loyal customers with some simple procedures for maintaining and testing your Never Dark Generator System.
The two most important things you, as a generator owner, need to do are to ensure your generator is properly maintained and listen for its weekly test cycle. The weekly test does not transfer electricity to your home; it simply runs the engine. Manual testing, however, will initiate the transfer of electricity. It’s beneficial for the generator to transfer and run under load at least once a year.
Manual testing should be performed annually or ahead of a forecasted storm. Make sure your Never Dark Generator is ready to go. If, for some reason, it doesn’t start or fails to transfer, we would prefer you call us before the storm so we can service your generator while it’s still sunny and 60 degrees—not when the storm has arrived, your power is out, and your generator hasn’t started.
Please open the document below and follow the directions based on the system you have, whether it’s for essential circuits or a whole-house setup. Feel free to print it for future reference.
The oil in your Never Dark Generator should be checked every 24 hours of continuous runtime during an extended outage, regardless of when it was last serviced.
Follow the directions closely—DO NOT SHUT OFF OR RESTART THE GENERATOR WHILE UNDER LOAD.
