Grip Generator Repairs & Servicing

Grip sets run from small portables of about 2 kVA to mid-sized open frames of around 5.5 kW. The small ones usually power lights, a router and a TV during an outage; the larger ones run tools and pumps, so we factor starting surges into the diagnosis.

Like most open frames that sit between outages, Grip generators most often fail on stale fuel or a varnished carburettor. We measure the output once the engine runs steadily.

What We Check First on a Grip

Supplied by Gentech
Grip generators are supplied in South Africa by Gentech, alongside the Gentech range. The Grip data plate gives the model and rating we need for parts, and we treat it as its own set rather than guessing from the Gentech range.
Choke and fuel tap
A choke left on after starting, or a fuel tap left half closed, makes a small Grip run rough and stall. We check both before we strip the carburettor.
A 5.5 kW set that trips under load
The 5.5 kW open-frame set can carry more of a house. If it trips or bogs down, we check the load, then the engine speed under load and the AVR, in that order.

Grip Petrol Generator Repairs and Servicing

On a Grip, we start from the symptom. We prove fuel, spark and compression before we strip a carburettor, and we measure the output once the engine runs steadily. Servicing follows the schedule in the owner’s manual for your model.

On conventional sets, an AVR or a capacitor holds the voltage, and a fault there is a common reason a set runs but gives no power.
