Keep the generator compartment free from dust, oil spills, and rodents.
Wipe control panels & ensure ventilation is not blocked.

9. Monitor control panel:
Make sure there are no warning lights or abnormal readings (e.g., voltage, frequency, oil pressure).
Test safety shutdown features (like low oil pressure or high temp shutdown).
