The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Failure analysis and evaluation process | The objective of the failure analysis and evaluation process may be to determine fault rectification measures, to effect variation in system characteristics and parameters or to enhance system performance. |
Tracked mobile plant | Tracked mobile plant covers all mobile plant with tracked undercarriage, including tracked type loaders, crawler tractors tracked type plant, hydraulic excavators and face shovels, material handling machines, agricultural tracked equipment and other rural equipments. |
Tracked systems | Tracked systems to be covered in this unit are to include linked, sealed, and sealed and lubricated. |
Undercarriage systems and components | Undercarriage systems and components to be covered in this unit are to include rollers, idlers, frames and recoil mechanisms. |
Suspension systems and components | Suspension systems and components to be covered in this unit are to include rigid platform, low track, live axle, dead axle and elevated sprocket. |
Failures | Failures to be covered in this unit are to include alignment, abnormal wear, component out of specification, component damage, mechanical variations, adjustment errors, inadequate modifications. |
Variations and failures | Variations and failures covered by this unit are to include those caused by the influence of external systems which may or may not be faulty in their primary operations. |
Unit context | OH&S requirements include vehicle industry regulations, safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and safe operating procedures. Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, Australian Standards, environmental legislation, health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements. Work requires individuals to demonstrate research, analytical, judgement and problem-solving skills in the diagnosis of faults. |
Evaluative criteria | Evaluative criteria, sometimes referred to as success factors, detail the criteria against which the achievement of the objectives of the analysis are judged. They are to include statistically based criteria and may include other measures. |
Isolation procedures | Equipment isolation procedures are to industry and enterprise standards. |
Testing equipment | Testing equipment is to include callipers, infrared temperature sensor, micrometers, profile and template gauges, tape measures, temperature measuring equipment and verniers, and may include laser alignment system and ultrasound systems (metal thickness). |
Tests | Tests to be conducted are to include material thickness, temperature variation, tracking alignment, and wear rate analysis. |
Personal protective equipment | Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices. |
Information and procedures | Workplace procedures relating to the use of tooling and equipment. Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication. Manufacturer/component supplier specifications and application procedures for testing equipment and material. Manufacturer/component supplier specifications, schematics and operational procedures related to tracked mobile plant undercarriage and suspension systems. Australian Standards. Vehicle industry regulations. Vehicle industry publications related to emerging undercarriage and suspension system technology and technology changes. |
