Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Mobile plant faults occur within one (1) or more of the following:

hydraulics

engine

power train

electronic systems

Hazards include one (1) or more of the following:

ventilation hazards, including battery gas leaks and (freon) paint emission

excessive noise

fluid spillage

electrical hazards from generator sets and water

lifting hazards caused by the removal and replacement of heavy components (e.g. engines and transmissions)

hydraulic hazards (e.g. high oil pressure and temperature)

drive trains hazards (e.g. tail shaft wind up)

fire hazards from the activation of fuel and temperature

Information management systems include one (1) or more of the following:

retrieving test data from the service information system (SIS)

equipment management systems

factory passwords

finding test data through, microfiche and SIS

obtaining relevant flash file information

finding full load settings (FLS) and full torque settings (FTS), SIS or similar

using the dynamometer and windows performance analysis reporting programs

producing performance analysis report

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

dynamometer

electronic technician

multimeter

flow meter

pressure gauges

communication adaptors

scroll box

stop watch

Performance tests include one (1) or more of the following:

rocker checks for oil

fluid level checks

fuel and cooling system checks

emergency shutdown operation checks

final walk around inspection

manual and/or electronic tests of equipment and/or components

cylinder cut out tests

solenoid tests

cycle times

sensor tests

lubrication pressure checks

leak checks

power checks using the dynamometer program, engine performance tools, transmission and hydraulic test equipment

checks on alignments between components

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
