Rental generators often run lightly loaded, such as powering a single office trailer. Light loading can cause wet stacking in diesels; size units to the load and follow the maker’s guidance on load testing.
Service at every return
Check oil, coolant, and fuel when each unit comes back, and log hours so service stays on schedule across a busy rental season.
