Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to remove, inspect and fit earthmoving and off-the-road (OTR) tyres to construction and mining vehicles. It involves removing the tyre from the rim, identifying and controlling risks, inspecting the tyre, assembling the wheel and rim, recommending required repair action, inflation, deflation, and preparing the tyre, wheel and rim assembly for use or storage.
It applies to those who fit tyres to wheel and rim assemblies of not less than 600 mm (24 inches) nominal diameter.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory, Australian standards or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
