Outdoor machines

Mowers, saws, generators, washers, compressors and tractors — hour-based servicing and the part numbers you can never find.

Small engines nearly all fail for the same three reasons: stale fuel, a blocked air filter and neglected oil. These sheets are built around those three, with a specification block so you stop looking up the same plug gap every spring.

Sheets in Outdoor machines

Lawn Mower Service Log

Keep a mower running past its fifth year, by tracking the three things that actually kill them: stale fuel, a blocked air filter and neglected oil.

OM-01 2 pages

Chainsaw Maintenance Log

Keep the chain and bar specifications where you can find them, and track sharpening and servicing between them.

OM-02 2 pages

Generator Service and Run Log

Make sure a standby generator actually starts when the power goes out, by recording the monthly exercise runs that keep it alive.

OM-03 1 page

Air Compressor Maintenance Log

Record the tank drain that protects against internal corrosion, and keep the servicing history for a machine that holds pressure.

OM-05 1 page

Small Engine Service Log

Give every small machine in the shed the same maintenance record, using one sheet per machine.

OM-06 1 page

Tractor Service Record

Service by hours rather than by date, which is how tractor intervals are actually specified.

OM-07 2 pages

Hedge Trimmer Service and Blade Record

Stop a trimmer being run with blunt, loose blades and a dry gearbox, by giving the blades their own record instead of burying them in general notes.

OM-09 1 page

Leaf Blower and Vacuum Service Log

Catch a chipped impeller and a blocked bag mesh before they turn into vibration and lost blow, and keep the filter and part numbers where they can be found.

OM-10 1 page

Machinery Winter Storage Record

Know in spring where every battery, drain plug and machine actually is, and whether it started, instead of finding out the hard way on the first fine day.

OM-11 1 page

Ride-On Mower Service Log

Service a ride-on by hours rather than by guesswork, and stop a deck belt or a spindle bearing being the thing that ends the season early.

OM-12 1 page

Stump Grinder and Tooth Record

See at a glance how many teeth went on and when, and catch loose pockets and bolts before a tooth leaves the wheel at speed.

OM-14 2 pages

Wood Chipper Service and Blade Log

Know when the blades were last turned or sharpened and what the clearance was set to, so a chipper that starts to labour is fixed at the blade, not the engine.

OM-15 2 pages

Snow Blower Service and Shear Pin Log

See which winter the scraper bar went and how many shear pins the auger has eaten. The part numbers sit at the top, so the right shear pin is bought, not a bolt that happens to fit the hole.

OM-16 2 pages

Log Splitter Pre-Use and Hydraulic Check

Catch a weeping fitting, a sticking lever or a chipped wedge before the splitter is started. The back keeps the fluid, filter, hose and wedge history by hours.

OM-17 2 pages

Robotic Lawn Mower Care Log

Know where the wire runs and where it has been joined before the next break. Blade changes, firmware and battery behaviour are kept season by season alongside.

OM-18 2 pages

Reel Mower Bedknife and Height of Cut Record

Set every cutting unit the same way, and prove it with a height measured at both ends. Streaking or an uneven cut can then be traced to one unit, not the whole machine.

OM-19 2 pages

ATV and UTV Pre-Ride Check Sheet

Give every rider the same check before each ride, a column a day. A soft tyre or a sticking throttle is then found in the yard rather than on a slope.

OM-20 1 page

Fuel Can and Stabiliser Log

Know how old the fuel in each can is before it goes into an engine. Guessing is how a carburettor ends up being cleaned in spring.

OM-21 2 pages
