Good advice! Also, always make sure to remove all jewelries for safety purposes when you are working on generators, especially with the power interruptor switch on.

Load banking is easy it's clean work. Once you do a few it's like riding a bicycle. Generator teardown is where the real work is at.

Not sure if you mentioned that any time you run a generator under load you must have a 5 minute cool down All of our 500 to 2,000 KW generators had a 5 minute cool down timer.
