Who needs it
Routine servicing around Cullinan
The visitor trade needs it first. Guest houses, restaurants and venues in the old mine village sell nights and functions, and an unserviced set lets them down on the busiest evening. Contractors at the mine run sets for long hours in dust, wearing oil and filters fast.
Farms between Cullinan, Rayton and Pretoria’s eastern edge face long outages on rural lines, when the set may carry a farmhouse, pumps and cold storage for a day or more. Schools, clinics and homes in Refilwe and Rayton have the opposite problem: sets that seldom run, their batteries and fuel ageing unnoticed.
Servicing
What a generator service in Cullinan includes
Here a service is more often on a farm or in a village back yard than in a plant room. We check diesel kept in drums or tanks for water, and clear dust from the air filter and radiator before summer.
- Engine oil and filter, with the fuel, air and water-separator filters
- Coolant level and condition, radiator, hoses and belts
- Starting battery load-tested, charger output and terminals checked
- Fuel system checked for leaks, water and contamination, tank to injectors
- Alternator, AVR, output connections and earthing checked
- Controller settings, alarms and hour meter recorded
- Test run under load: voltage, frequency and temperatures
- Changeover (ATS) operation confirmed where fitted
You get a written record of what was done and found. The full list is in our service checklist; generator servicing explains the work and a maintenance plan keeps it on schedule.
Intervals
How often generators around Cullinan need a service
| Site | How the set runs | What falls due first |
|---|---|---|
| Guest house, restaurant or venue | How the set runsEvery outage, often in the evening with kitchens on load | What falls due firstHours in a heavy month; the changeover needs testing each visit |
| Farm or smallholding | How the set runsSeldom, then for a day or more when a rural line fails | What falls due firstTime usually, but one long outage can bring the hours forward |
| Contractor’s set at the mine | How the set runsLong shifts, often as the main supply on site | What falls due firstThe hours interval, sometimes within weeks; air filters clog fastest |
| School, clinic or home | How the set runsOutages and a weekly test run | What falls due firstThe time interval; battery, fuel and changeover matter more than wear |
Check the hour meter after a run of outages against our service intervals guide.
Plans
Maintenance plans for Cullinan sites
Guest house and venue plans: Generator maintenance
Services booked outside your busy days, a changeover test under kitchen load, and a battery check before the festive season.
Farm and smallholding plans: Fuel system repairs
A yearly service, stored diesel tested for water and sludge, and test runs that prove the set can carry pumps and cold rooms.
Contractor and workshop plans: Industrial generator services
For sets at the mine: services by running hours, air filters on a shorter cycle and reports for site audits.
School, clinic and home plans: Residential generator services
For Refilwe, Rayton and the village: a service before winter, charger and battery checks, and a test run between visits.
Prevention
Faults a service finds before the next Cullinan outage
Most breakdowns out here would have shown up on a service: water in a farm drum, a guest-house battery on a dying charger, a radiator matted with dust at a contractor’s yard, or a sticking venue changeover. Found on a routine visit, each is a line on the report, not a dark evening.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often should a Cullinan guest house have its generator serviced?
At least once a year, and sooner if the hour meter reaches the engine manual’s interval after a month of outages. Book it outside your busiest weekends.
Can you service generators on farms outside Cullinan and Rayton?
Yes. Send a map pin, the gate details and the set’s make and kVA. We service farmhouse sets and open-frame diesels behind pumps and workshops, and test each under load.
Our farm keeps diesel in drums. What does a service check?
We drain the water separator, look for water and sludge in the fuel, and change the fuel filters. Drums kept full, sealed and out of the sun collect less condensation between services.
Can you service a contractor’s generator at the mine by running hours?
Yes. Sets that run long shifts are serviced at the engine manual’s hours interval, and we work 24/7, so a visit can fall between shifts once the contractor arranges site access.
