AURHTJ005 Identify and apply heavy vehicle pneumatic wheeled traction performance enhancement systems
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify and apply pneumatic wheeled traction performance enhancement systems in heavy vehicles. It involves identifying and confirming work requirements, preparing for the work, identifying and applying ballasting, chains, weights, inflation levels and tyre tread designs, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The traction systems include those of agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

2.1 Wheeled traction performance enhancement is applied according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements
2.2 Wheel adjustments made during the traction enhancement comply with manufacturer specifications
3. Complete work processes
3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle is presented ready for use, including protective guards, safety features and cowlings
3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
3.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures
3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
identify and apply heavy vehicle pneumatic wheeled traction performance enhancement systems on at least two different heavy vehicles or machinery, in which the work must involve:
identifying and applying traction performance enhancement systems that suit the load and weight distribution, and soil and terrain conditions
complying with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures in the selection and application of the systems.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to traction performance enhancement systems, including procedures for:
manually handling the systems
inflating tyres safely
tagging out and isolating machines
wheel chocking
traction performance enhancement systems appropriate to the following operating conditions:
soil and terrain condition
load and weight distribution
application, purpose and operation of traction performance enhancement systems, including:
ballasting
chains, including chain tensioning equipment
weights
inflation
tread pattern variations
post-fitting testing procedures for wheeled traction performance enhancement systems.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the heavy vehicle or machinery pneumatic wheeled traction performance enhancement systems that they have applied, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer wheeled traction performance enhancement system specifications
two different heavy vehicles or machinery for applying wheeled traction performance enhancement systems
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for applying wheeled traction performance enhancement systems.
