Duties include, but are not limited to:
- Check vehicles for proper performance and inspect equipment to detect faults and malfunctions.
- Diagnose faults or malfunctions using computerized and other testing equipment and methods to determine the extent of repair required.
- Adjust equipment and repair or replace defective parts, components or systems, using hand and power tools.
- Test repaired equipment for proper performance and to ensure that work meets manufacturers’ specifications.
- Clean, lubricate and perform other routine maintenance work on equipment and vehicles.
- Service attachments and working tools (i.e. Blades, plows, winches, and side booms).
