How it works

Each drawing starts with the jobs its makers’ manuals and care pages recommend; the sources are listed below. Where a maker counts kilometres, hours or shots, the interval is translated into days for a typical owner, or into by use where the job follows every ride or flight.

By date counts from the last time you did the job. By use also restarts whenever you log a use in GearKit, for jobs like recharging after every flight. Only while stored jobs pause while the item is in daily use, like storage-charging batteries over winter.

Nothing you type leaves this page. The link carries the schedule in the part after the #, which browsers never send to a server.
