Daily Maintenance Guide
For remote mine sites and long-term self-generation, this guide covers pre-start checks, running-hour service, ATS/load tests, alarm records, fault reporting and spare-parts preparation so the team knows what to check, when to service and what evidence to keep.
Maintenance logic
Generator sets in remote mines run for long periods, so the site should not rely only on experience. Daily inspections, hour-based maintenance, periodic electrical checks, alarm and operating records, and prepared common spares help engineers identify problems faster and prevent small faults from becoming long outages.
Maintenance triage starts by checking whether the fault affects drainage, crushing, ventilation, communications, or camp power. When critical loads are affected, response priority is higher than routine maintenance items.
Long-term self-generated power cannot be maintained only according to the date. Operating hours, load factors, dust, rainy weather and fuel quality all determine the inspection intervals for filters, oil, belts and cooling systems.
Alarm codes, controller photos, operating hours, fuel consumption, load changes, and repair actions give engineers the facts needed for remote diagnosis. Without records, each fault has to be investigated from the beginning.
At remote mine sites, one unavailable small part can create a long delay. Filters, belts, sensors, batteries, controllers, AVRs and common electrical components should be prepared by equipment model and downtime risk.
Maintenance rhythm
Mine generators run for long hours, so maintenance cannot rely on verbal reminders. Split checks into daily, weekly, monthly, running-hour and post-fault routines, and define who records them, what is recorded and how each result is handled. When managers, electricians and engineers see the same record, diagnosis gets faster.
Appearance, oil, oil and water leakage, controller alarm, battery, fuel level, operating sound and cooling and ventilation.
Terminals, grounds, belt tension, air cleaner, radiator surfaces, fuel tank sedimentation and operating record review.
Load testing, ATS or paralleling logic, protection parameters, standby generator-set startup, cable temperature rise, and critical spare-parts inventory.
Engine oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, coolant, oil-water separator, and the staged maintenance items specified by the manufacturer.
Retain alarm, video, load, oil pressure, water temperature, voltage frequency and processing actions. Do not just reset and continue running.
Article combination
Each article revolves around an on-site action: what to watch, how to record, when to find an engineer, and which small risks cannot be postponed.
Maintenance 01
Many shutdowns give early signs: low oil, leaks, loose belts, weak batteries, blocked radiators or controller alarms before start-up.
Maintenance 02
At long-running mine sites, running hours show real wear better than calendar dates. Filters, oil, fuel, cooling and belts should follow actual operating intensity.
Maintenance 03
A generator that starts is not enough. ATS switching, low-voltage switchboards, grounding, cables, breakers, paralleling controls and load tests all need regular checks and records.
Maintenance 04
Many generator faults are diagnosable; delays often come from missing site information. Send controller photos, alarm codes, running hours, load, fuel, voltage/frequency data and fault videos.
Maintenance 05
Remote repairs cost more than a part. Travel, lodging, tools, waiting time, wrong spares and repeat inspections can turn minor faults into expensive downtime.
