Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to analyse and evaluate faults in wheeled mobile plant steering and suspension 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 steering and suspension systems include those of agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
