PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

People in the field of manufacturing and engineering require the skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard. The learning outcomes in this unit standard also contribute to the exit level outcomes required for various manufacturing and engineering qualifications. The learner is capable of removing earthmoving equipment components for dismantling or inspection. This will contribute to the exit level outcomes required for the National Certificate in servicing vehicles and related qualifications.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for servicing earthmoving equipment in the field of manufacturing and engineering. It is assumed that the learner has already learned the use of engineering hand tools, power tools, measuring equipment and to maintain a safe and productive working environment.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

The ranges as indicated under the specific outcomes determine the scope and level of this unit standard. All work is performed under the supervision and according to workplace and workshop manual specifications and occupational safety, health and environmental legislation.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1
