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. |
Total systems | Total systems to be covered in this unit are to include the boat and engine combination as well as boat trimming systems, boat loading and fitted accessories. |
Boats | Boats are to include inboard and outboard propelled vessels, including twin engine installations, which are fifty horsepower or above. They can be either two-stroke, four-stroke or diesel. |
Failures | Failures covered by this unit are to include engine (poor performance, poor selection, incorrect fitting, overloading, overpowering), propeller selection (size, pitch, material and application), hull faults and stress (transom rot, delamination, hook, rocker, power hook, surface finish and design), mounting (noise, vibration, hardness). |
Boat performance | Boat performance and control faults covered by this unit are to include indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems which may or may not be faulty in their primary operation. |
Unit context | OH&S requirements include legislation, 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 Design Rules, 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 to be judged. They are to include statistically based criteria and may include other measures. |
Isolation procedures | Equipment isolation procedures are to be to industry and enterprise standards. |
Testing equipment | Testing equipment is to include compression gauges, computer-based diagnostic system, straight edges, engineer's protractor or inclinometer, tape measure, tachometer, feeler gauges, analogue and digital multimeter, pressure gauges, stethoscope, temperature gauges, timing lights, torque gauges, verniers, hand and power tooling, engine alignment bar, transom compass and drilling jig. |
Tests | Tests to be conducted are to include engine performance and maximum speed, propeller matching, hull performance and stability water tests, water flow and temperature, hull integrity, fuel and oil consumption. |
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 materials. Manufacturer/component supplier specifications, schematics and operational procedures related to marine installation guidelines. Marine industry legislation/regulations. Marine industry publications related to emerging engine/hull system technology and technology changes. |
