- Identifying & Controlling Generator Safety Hazards
- Pre-Use and Routine Inspection Procedures
- Portable Generator Maintenance Techniques to Extend Equipment Lifespan
A towable power generator is the heartbeat of any off-grid or temporary Canadian jobsite — construction sites without service power, remote operations, outdoor events, and emergency backup. When the genset falters, everything from tools to lighting to pumps stops with it.
This course is for generator operators, equipment-rental and yard technicians, electricians' helpers, and maintenance personnel who run and service portable diesel power units. It covers the full reliability picture: engine fluids and filters, fuel system care, battery and charging maintenance, alternator and control basics, and the electrical-safety fundamentals of grounding, bonding, and load management.
Anchored in Canadian occupational health and safety practice, the training emphasizes safe electrical operation, disciplined pre-use inspection, and proper documentation — so employers can demonstrate due diligence and operators can deliver clean, steady power without putting anyone at risk.

Why choose us
Equipment Tutor builds training for the towable power generators Canadian crews depend on for prime and remote-site power — construction, events, oilfield, and emergency response. We treat the genset as both an engine and an electrical source, so your team learns to keep it running and keep it safe.
Our content stays practical and field-tested, framed around Canadian electrical and OHS safety expectations, so operators can apply proper grounding, load management, and inspection habits from day one.
Student reviews
Exactly what our field crew needed
We tow gensets to remote sites and no-starts used to cost us hours. The battery and charging section sorted that out fast. Practical and clearly explained.

Great electrical safety coverage
I appreciated that it didn't just treat the generator as an engine. The grounding and bonding lessons were spot on for how we set up on event sites. Rolled it out to the whole crew.

Solid maintenance fundamentals
Good coverage of fluids, filters, and load management. Easy to follow at your own pace. Would like more on paralleling two units, but for single-genset crews it's excellent.
