Lawn mower maintenance log for every small engine in your garage

This lawn mower maintenance log helps homeowners keep every engine in the garage starting easily and running for years. Across 30 undated pages it covers your mower and your other small engines too, with an inventory for model and serial numbers, a page for each of seven machines (mower, trimmer, blower, chainsaw, snow blower, generator and tiller), logs for fuel and hours, checklists for getting going in spring and putting things away in fall, and pages for parts, repairs and warranties.

It comes as a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. Download it right away and print at home. Nothing is mailed.

How the log makes lawn mower maintenance simple

Record each model and serial number one time and fill the schedule with the intervals from each manual. From then on, you simply mark each oil change, new plug, clean filter, sharpened blade or dose of stabilizer, along with the date and what the hour meter reads. Every machine also gets a page of its own holding what you need to buy parts, such as the numbers for its plug, filter, blade or belt, and the mix for 2 stroke engines.

The checklists for spring and fall let you check as many as seven machines in one sitting, and the winter page holds the snow blower's pre-season check alongside the generator's test runs. Keeping up with lawn mower maintenance like this also gives you a clear service record if you ever pass a machine on or trade it in.

Who this garage equipment log is for

• Homeowners who look after their own mower, trimmer, blower and snow blower themselves and want every service noted in one spot
• Anyone with a standby generator who wants to follow its test runs, oil and fuel before power fails again
• People with rural land or acreage who keep a chainsaw, a tiller and several other machines going every season
• New homeowners organizing a garage and finding out which oil, plug and filter suits each engine
• Anyone who may one day pass on or trade in equipment and wants a tidy service record to show

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimalist look: white pages and soft blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Generous margins all around, so a home printer will not clip anything
• Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so you can begin in any season and print fresh fuel, hours and repair pages each year
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
