Clock Hours: 106
Delivery Mode
on-ground
Course Description:
This course is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills for servicing diesel hydrostatic systems. Safety and proper tool use are emphasized throughout this course. Specific topics include diagnostic and repair of hydrostatic systems. As part of this course, students participate in servicing activities associated with hydrostatic systems. Workplace Employability Skills Task lists should be incorporated into the Off-Road Diesel Program.
