The text covers all the competencies required by AED for power trains, along with safety and selected critical functions in hydraulics/hydrostatics.

• To appeal to visual learners, discussions of theory and servicing are supported with more than 1000 images comprised of multi-color line art, cross sectional drawings, and photographs.
• Technology examples are drawn from a variety of manufacturers in order to help students put theory into practice.
• To supplement what students will learn in the shop, helpful techniques for diagnosing, servicing and repairing heavy equipment systems appear throughout the text.
