In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

Qualifying learners are capable of removing wheels from light and heavy commercial vehicles; removing light and heavy commercial vehicle tyres from wheels; repairing punctured tubes and resultant damage to tyres; repairing punctured tubeless tyres; fitting light and heavy commercial vehicle tubed tyres to wheels; fitting light and heavy commercial vehicle tubeless tyres to wheels; and fitting wheels to light and heavy commercial vehicles.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Context:

Wheel types - single wheels, dual wheels.

Safe working practices - personal safety, safety of others, equipment and vehicle safety.

Wheel types- closed centre wheels, open centre wheels, artillery wheels.

Raising and securing wheel - ensuring load capacity of jack sufficient is for the lift, jacking carried out on hard even surface, park brake applied, vehicle empty of people, jacking point on a load bearing structure that will support the weight of the vehicle, axle stands of sufficient load capacity and secure.

Safe removal of wheel - valve core removed and tyre deflated before attempting to remove from the vehicle, nuts loosened diagonally, wedges freed from artillery wheels before nuts removed, wheels removed without risk of personal injury.

Tyres - tubed tyre, tubeless tyre.

Deflating tyre - removing valve core, ensuring valve stem is not obstructed.

Removing tyre without damage - lubricating beads, ensuring beads are in the wheel well, commencing removal of the bead at the valve, guiding the tube valve through the rim, removing the rust band and tube from the tyre.

Locating damage to tyre - inflating the tyre in a secure position, visual inspection, using water trough, removing tyre and inspecting inside case.

Repair - repair patch vulcanised in place by the application of localised heat with a spot vulcaniser, tubes repaired with a cold vulcanising repair kit.

Tubed tyre component condition - flange, locking ring, rim, rust band, tube, valve, removing rust and dirt from the rim, removing foreign objects from inside the tyre, inner casing damage, beading damage.

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

The standard describes competent performance in repairing and replacing light and heavy commercial vehicle tyres, and lay down the criteria by which competence should be judged, as well as the range of circumstances in which competence should be demonstrated.

Integrated assessment methods and tools will allow the candidate to demonstrate that she/he has acquired knowledge of and can safely and effectively apply competence identified in this unit standard.

These tools include the following:

In-situ (on-the-job) observations

Role-play simulations

Structured group discussions

Written reports (e.g. tests, exams, case studies, projects, registers, logbooks, workbooks)

Verbal report backs (presentations)

Portfolios of evidence

Projects (physical visits to Government Departments)

Scenario sketching

These methods must be carefully selected based on the purpose of the assessment (for example, the written method of assessing knowledge or on-job demonstration of practical competence). The assessment must integrate a number of different methods in order to give the assessor reliable and valid proof of competence and evidence of required attitudes.

Candidates are assessed against these assessment criteria. Currently employed candidates are observed carrying out their normal work duties by an assessor. They may also be asked to carry out simulated tasks and to answer written and/or oral questions. Candidates studying towards a Unit Standard, and who are not currently employed, will also be assessed using variety of assessment tools.

Training providers offering the qualifications, or part thereof, shall be accredited in terms of the criteria laid down by the relevant SETA/ETQA.

Qualified Assessors will be appointed by the training institutions offering the qualifications and must be registered and accredited with the relevant SETA/ETQA.
