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. |
Motorcycles | Motorcycles are to include two-wheel, four-wheel and two-wheel fitted with sidecar. |
Motorcycle engine systems | Motorcycle engine systems are to include two-stroke, four-stroke petrol single and multi-cylinder. |
Total engine systems | Total engine systems to be covered in this unit are to include the engine and related fuel, ignition, intake, exhaust, lubrication and cooling systems. |
Motorcycle engine system failures | Motorcycle engine system failures covered by this unit are to include engine (poor performance, excessive oil consumption, engine stoppages), fuel (contamination, flow, pressure, leakage), ignition (no-start, no-run, misfire, erratic operation, lack of power, charging), intake (leakage, noise, vibration, inadequate control, exhaust (noise, pressure, abnormal emissions, blockages, lubrication (pressure, flow, leakage, abnormal engine wear, inadequate filtration, sludge formation, excessive deposits, overheating, cooling (overcooling, insufficient cooler flow, coolant out of specification, lack of air flow, internal corrosion), mounting (noise, vibration, hardness, clutch shudder, erratic transmission control). |
Transmission systems | Transmission systems to be covered by this unit are to include mechanical with variable ratio or constant mesh and chain drive, belt drive and gear drive. |
Transmission system failures | Transmission system failures covered by this unit are to include abnormal component wear, clutch operations, clutch pack slippage, chain or belt drive slippage, incorrect belt/chain adjustments, contamination, driveline phasing and alignment, hard shifting, leaks, loose mountings, lubrication, noises, operating temperature, rear wheel locking, vibrations. |
Engine and transmission system failures | Engine and transmission system failures 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 operations. |
OH&S | OH&S requirements include vehicle industry regulations, safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and safe operating procedures. |
Legislative requirements | Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, Australian Design Rules, environmental legislation, health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements. |
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. |
