PURPOSE

This module is designed to ensure technicians are

able to locate, identify, and describe the functionality of
all major components and service points of the travel
hydraulic system, describe the operation of the travel
hydraulic system, and demonstrate knowledge of the
strategies used to control all travel functions.

5
REASON

This training is necessary for technicians to be able

to properly locate and identify all major components
and service points of the travel hydraulic system,
explain system component operation, and demonstrate
knowledge of the strategies used to control the travel
function in order to properly diagnose and correct
problems in the travel hydraulic system, which
will ensure customers experience quick, accurate
resolution of travel system complaints.

6
COMPETENCY Statement

At the completion of this module, participants will be

required to locate and identify all major components
and service points of the travel hydraulic system,
describe the function and operation of components in
the travel system, and test and properly adjust those
components during lab exercises. Participants will
also be able to demonstrate general knowledge of the
travel hydraulic system operation and describe the
strategies used for controlling the travel function during
a classroom post-assessment.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

You will meet the following learning outcomes during

this 336D2 XE Hydraulic Excavators Travel Hydraulic
System module:
• Locate the components and service points of the travel
hydraulic system.
• Test and properly adjust the components of the travel
hydraulic system.
• Describe the function of the travel hydraulic system
components.
