Unit of Competency | MEM18025B - Service combustion engines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit covers checking and assessing engine consumable fluids and components for serviceability, performing the servicing procedures and reporting what has been done. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to the assessment and replacement of engine consumable fluids and components and the carrying out of servicing activities to predetermined procedures or manufacturers' specifications, including minor running adjustments. Servicing activities may include obtaining and dispatching samples for spectrographic or laboratory analysis. Adjustments are limited to 'running adjustments' typical of which are belt tensions, shroud clearances, linkage adjustments, etc.This unit should not be selected if Unit MEM18055B (Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components) has already been selected.Band: AUnit Weight: 2 | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to service combustion engines. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with servicing combustion engines or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents checking items removed from the engine for serviceability and conformance to specifications planning and sequencing operations checking task-related information identifying and reporting on fluids and items which have abnormal appearance flushing engine fluids from the engine and cleaning the engine of any residual fluids replacing engine fluids with the correct fluids to the correct levels removing and replacing engine consumable fluids and components checking the engine for lubricant, water and air leaks after servicing securing wires, hoses and ducts after servicing making minor running adjustments obtaining test samples undertaking calculations and numerical operations within the scope of this unit recording and reporting service activities |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: common defects that can be identified from the appearance of fluids and items the procedures for reporting items/fluids with abnormal appearance the principles of operation of the lubrication and cooling systems the function of filters the purpose of a range of additives the procedures for draining and flushing fluids from the engine including the reasons for ensuring any residual/spilt fluids are removed from the engine the appropriate grade and type of replacement fluid the procedures for replacing engine fluids the correct proportions of additive to be used the procedures for removing/replacing engine consumable fluids and components the procedures for checking serviced engines for leaks the methods of fastening/securing wires, hoses, ducts, etc. the procedures for undertaking minor running adjustments the specifications pertaining to those adjustments the procedures for taking test samples the procedures for reporting service activities hazards and control measures associated with servicing combustion engines safe work practices and procedures |
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. | |
Engine consumable fluids and components | These include components and fluids that are designed to be replaced or restored as their effectiveness diminishes, or where they are wearing/failing. Typically they would include filters, coolants, lubricants, hydraulic and other fluids, additives etc, simple drive belts and coolant hoses |
Running adjustments | These are limited to straightforward adjustments typical of which are belt tensions, shroud clearances, linkage adjustments, etc. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
