What should be done if there are issues with a generator’s performance?

In situations where there are issues with a generator's performance, notifying the maintenance department is the most appropriate step to take. The maintenance department is equipped with the expertise and tools necessary to diagnose and resolve any problems that may arise with generator operations. Timely notification allows them to assess the issue, determine whether it can be fixed on-site or needs specialized attention, and take necessary actions to ensure safety and reliability.

Starting the generator manually might not address underlying performance issues, and it could potentially lead to further complications if the generator is malfunctioning. Contacting emergency services is typically reserved for situations posing immediate danger rather than routine equipment problems. Stopping all operations could halt productivity unnecessarily and does not provide a solution to the core issue at hand. Therefore, involving the maintenance department is crucial to effectively managing the generator's performance problems.
