Verified Supplier Network

A Perkins set that is serviced on schedule is cheaper to run over its life than one serviced only when it breaks, because worn filters and old oil are what shorten engine life.

Perkins Specific Notes

Follow the interval in the engine manual for your exact model, and keep the service records so the next buyer can see the history.
A very large installed base in Nigeria, so workshops and mechanics know the engines well
A set that uses a Perkins engine is not automatically a Perkins-quality set: the alternator, canopy and control panel matter just as much

Routine Checks Between Services

Engine oil and coolant level, checked with the set stopped and cool
Fuel level and visible fuel leaks
Battery condition and terminal cleanliness
Air filter indicator and the radiator fins for blockage
Control panel alarms, and a short run to confirm the set starts

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a Perkins generator be serviced?

Follow the interval in the manual for your exact engine and set, which is set by running hours or time, whichever comes first. Standby sets that rarely run still need servicing on time.

Can I service the generator myself?

Routine checks such as oil and coolant level can be done by the owner. Planned services and anything involving the fuel system or electrics are better done by a competent technician.

What should I keep after each service?

Keep the written report with the date and running hours, and the part numbers that were fitted. A clean service history raises the resale value of the set.
