All activities shall be performed on every generator within the contract period. No alternative methodology or reduced scope shall be proposed.·Engine Inspection: Inspect engine condition, mounting points, air intake, exhaust system and general mechanical integrity. Identify and report any signs of wear, cracking, leaks or structural concern.·Fluid Systems: Check and record engine oil level and condition; coolant level and antifreeze concentration; fuel condition and contamination. Replace engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter(s) (primary and secondary where applicable), and air filter element in accordance with the manufacturers maintenance schedule and generator running hours.·Cooling System: Inspect radiator, hoses, clamps, thermostat, water pump and coolant passages for leaks, blockages and deterioration.

Record starting performance.·AMF/ATS System: Test Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) operation: simulate utility power failure, verify automatic generator start sequence, transfer to generator supply, re-transfer to utility power on restoration, and verify changeover time and alarm annunciation.·Output Performance: Measure and record output voltage (per phase), frequency, power factor (where testable), and fuel consumption rate. Conduct a functional load test under available facility load. Where technically required and agreed with UNDP and MoHCC, recommend formal load-bank testing.·Generator Room / Enclosure: Inspect generator room or enclosure for adequate ventilation, absence of fire hazards, security, drainage and signage.
