Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service engines according to manufacturer instructions. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the engine, reporting the inspection findings, servicing and adjusting the engine, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the outdoor power equipment service and repair industry. This unit does not apply to light and heavy vehicle engines. The engines include those of two-stroke and four-stroke spark ignition, or four-stroke compression ignition engines of outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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 equipment or outdoor power equipment engines 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:
- outdoor power equipment repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer engine specifications
- three different outdoor power equipment engines specified in the performance evidence and requiring servicing
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing outdoor power equipment engines.
