3.4 Repairs and component replacements and adjustments are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
3.5 Post-repair testing is carried out according to workplace procedures to confirm fault rectification, and any further problems detected as having been introduced during the repair process are rectified
|
|
4. Complete work processes
|
4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and forklift is presented ready for use
4.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
4.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures
4.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
|

Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the forklift hydraulic braking systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer forklift hydraulic braking system specifications
- operational forklifts with faults in two different braking systems
- diagnostic equipment for forklift hydraulic braking systems
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing and adjusting forklift hydraulic braking systems.
