Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: June 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in hydrostatic transmissions and their associated components. It involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct diagnostic procedure, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The unit applies to hydrostatic transmissions in agricultural machinery, mobile plant machinery or outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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 hydrostatic transmissions 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 specifications for hydrostatic transmissions
two different vehicles or machinery with faults in the hydrostatic transmission components specified in the performance evidence
diagnostic equipment for hydrostatic transmissions
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing and adjusting hydrostatic transmissions.
