Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and repair faults in the pumping systems of outdoor power equipment according to manufacturer specifications. The unit involves preparing for the task, sourcing the testing strategy, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
The unit applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The pumping systems are those of outdoor power equipment and include:
- centrifugal pumps used for firefighting, irrigation and water transfer
- diaphragm pumps used in orchard spraying
- high pressure piston pumps used for pressure cleaners.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Conditions
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 pumping 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:
- outdoor power equipment repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer specifications for pumping systems
- area for safely testing pumping systems
- pressure gauge
- three pumping systems specified in the performance evidence with faults
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for diagnosing and repairing pumping systems.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
