Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to analyse and evaluate faults in mobile plant engine and fuel systems in order to initiate action to sustain, vary or enhance performance. It involves identifying, evaluating, selecting, justifying and documenting the most appropriate rectification method or variation to the rectification method. The unit includes the analysis of multi-system and intermittent faults which may be caused by operating in adverse conditions.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The engine and fuel systems include those of agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery, which may be wheeled or track type machinery.This unit does not apply to heavy commercial vehicle engines and fuel systems.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
