6 Life Saving Tips For Running A Generator At Home by winkmart: 5:23pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
In almost every home in Nigeria, you will find a generator because power is unstable. Some run their generator for 24 hours while others run it in the night. However, in recent times, we have heard of people dying because of generator fumes. It is unfortunate but true. Obviously, this carbon monoxide is very harmful to the body. In line with this, Jumia Travel shares lifesaving tips for running a generator at home. Your generator should be far away from your window As long as generators use dirty energy such fuel or diesel, it will always release fumes. So, it should be reasonably far away from your window. Do not say that because you tightly shut your window and doors, you want to place it beside it. It is dangerous. Use your generator outdoor You will be shocked that some people in this country use their generator right in their parlour or sitting room. They don’t want to leave it outside for fear of it being stolen or because they are too lazy to go outside to switch it off. You are joking with your life if you continue with this practice. Do not run it in an enclosed area A generator needs ventilation to function properly because of the heat it produces while it is working. Always use your generator in an open space so that it will be able to breathe. A generator may stop working or explode if there is no ventilation. Turn off all your appliances Before you start your generator, turn off all your appliances to prevent any damage. This is because a power surge can destroy your devices. Also, do not overload your generator. Never refuel a hot generator It is no gainsaying that you should not refuel a generator while it is running let alone when it is hot. Your generator may explode if you do this. Hence, switch off before refuelling. Periodic maintenance Always maintain your generator by taking it for regular checkup especially when it produces fumes. Sooner or rather than later, it will collapse. http://www.blackberrybabes.com/2017/04/6-life-saving-tips-for-running.html lalasticlala 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Instead of you people to ask " why is there no light in Nigeria?" You are telling us how to run generator... Hope y'all can now see why Nigeria would remain the way it is till Christ comes? So many fools around. 21st century and we still shout "up nepa"...shame on all of you.. Darkness everywhere and just like Buhari, our rocket scientist is deaf, dumb and blind...

Thanks. I am guilty of the last one: have never taken it for maintenance since I bought it. I am afraid that once the wrong hands touch it, that will be the beginning of countless repairs. 2 Likes |
