and your generator DIDN’T start.
Now your 40,000 Birds or 2,000 Pigs
Top 5 reasons why your generator may overheat and fail this summer...
Low Coolant level - engine will not cool properly if coolant is below the core.
Dirty radiator fins - must be free of dirt, dust, feathers, paper, or debris.
Sufficient air intake - motorized shutters are strongly recommended.
Improper coolant mix - 50/50 antifreeze and water will ensure max cooling from coolant,
Faulty exhaust shutters - must open freely with no flow obstructions.
Here are the 5 things we’ll do to help you prevent this disaster...
• We’ll perform our “Generator Readiness Evaluation ” worth $175 for FREE.
• We’ll detect your potential problems quickly with our trained technician team.
• We’ll dispatch our technician with a service van stocked with the most popular service parts
