There is a choice of modules to align with the cutting head(s) on the machinery you use (cylinder, rotary, flail and reciprocating knife), and the course covers both fuel and battery powered mowers. The course duration will depend upon the experience of the learners and the number of cutting mechanisms covered.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
• Identify the risks associated with the use of different types of ride-on mowers
• Select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Identify the controls and components
• Carry out daily checks as indicated in the operator’s manual
• Carry out pre-start checks
• Identify and report any faults
• Adjust the cutting mechanism to achieve the required standard
• Operate the machine in a safe and competent manner
• Perform after-use maintenance
• Load and transport the machine (if appropriate)
Our experienced instructors cater for novices and also for experienced users who require their skills to be verified with certification. Upon successful completion learners receive a Lantra Awards Certificate of Competence. If your workplace also has pedestrian mowers, consider the Ride On and Pedestrian Mowers course.
