Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify and apply pneumatic wheeled traction performance enhancement systems in heavy vehicles. It involves identifying and confirming work requirements, preparing for the work, identifying and applying ballasting, chains, weights, inflation levels and tyre tread designs, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The traction systems include those of agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
