About this course
Improve safety, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life with our Lawnmower Maintenance Training course. Designed for lawnmower maintenance operators and maintenance personnel, this online program delivers step-by-step instruction in preventive maintenance, pre-use inspections, and lawnmower maintenance servicing procedures.
Lawnmower Maintenance Training is an online program for the people who keep cutting equipment running: landscape crews, municipal parks and grounds staff, golf-course turf teams, property maintenance contractors, and anyone responsible for a fleet of walk-behind or ride-on mowers. It bridges the gap between simply operating a mower and properly caring for one.
The course covers the full preventive-maintenance cycle - pre-use inspections, small-engine servicing, blade sharpening and replacement, deck cleaning, belt and tire checks, and safe end-of-season storage. Each task is presented with the safety steps first, because most mower injuries happen during servicing, not mowing: hands near blades, fuel handling, and machines that weren't properly shut down or grounded.
Whether you maintain a single commercial mower or a depot full of them, this training gives operators the knowledge to reduce downtime, extend equipment life, protect manufacturer warranties, and work to the safe-work expectations Canadian employers are responsible for under provincial OHS legislation.

Why choose us
Equipment Tutor builds its courses around the real machines Canadian grounds crews, landscapers, and municipal teams run every day - not generic theory. Our Lawnmower Maintenance Training focuses on the practical tasks that actually cause breakdowns and injuries: dull blades, clogged decks, neglected air filters, and unguarded servicing.
Every module is grounded in safe-work practices and preventive-maintenance discipline, so your team learns to spot problems before they become a torn belt mid-job or a thrown blade on a busy property.
