Glossary of terms used in this unit standard
Company procedures – the documented procedures for the machine and/or worksite;
Custom installation – power plant and power train in the form of separate

power train are supplied as complete, integrated units. Custom installations also
involve the fabrication of a mounting frame, and the installation of any specified
thermal and/or noise insulation;
Power plant – the engine (petrol or diesel) and its subframe, plus ancillary equipment
and systems, including water jacketed manifolds and exhaust systems, coolers (heat
exchangers, intercoolers, oil coolers, gearbox coolers), raw water pumps, charging
systems, drives (hydraulic and electric), refrigeration system, engine controls and
instrumentation, steering system (mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic), and fuel
system;
Power train – includes flywheel damper, clutch, gearbox (mechanical and hydraulic
reverse production), propeller shaft, and propulsion device (propeller, jet unit, or drive
line system).

Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
