Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to test the braking system on medium/heavy track vehicle/s in accordance with manufacturer specifications and/or organisational procedures.Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan and prepare for track vehicle brake inspection and testing
- 1.1 Logbooks and any other documentation are checked for existing defects
- 1.2 Track vehicle is isolated or secured, in accordance with workplace procedures, to make the work area safe prior to inspection
2 Inspect and test track vehicle brake operation
- 2.1 Visual and audible inspection is conducted to identify faults or defects
- 2.2 Brakes are applied and released to ensure track vehicle braking system meets functional specifications
- 2.3 Identified defects and faults are rectified and/or reported in accordance with manufacturer specifications and/or organisational procedures
3 Complete documentation
- 3.1 Documentation concerning inspecting and testing the braking system is completed in accordance with organisational procedures
- 3.2 Logbook and other service records on the track vehicle are completed in accordance with organisational procedures
