Manufacturers provide specific information for the use and care of their products. Their instructions come from wide experience under varying conditions and should be closely followed. Before performing any other checks, maintenance personnel should always look for signs of physical damage. Routine maintenance instructions include scheduled inspections of prime movers, generators and exciters, and switchgear. When a service or repair is needed, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific information.
