Diesel Generator Prestart Checklist

by Abby Paulissen, from the Community

Downloads: 0

Use this diesel generator prestart checklist to verify that the unit is safe and ready to run. Capture manufacturer and asset details, inspect fluids, belts, air filters, batteries, guards, and exhaust, then start the generator to check gauges, abnormal noise or vibration, leaks, emergency stop, and cooling performance. Record electrical test results, document defects and recommendations, and complete operator and supervisor sign offs with digital signatures. Ideal for routine maintenance, shift handovers, and compliance record keeping across power generation and field operations.
