LEARNING OUTCOMES
You will meet the following learning outcomes during the presentations, laboratory
exercises, and post-assessment in this 730C Ejector Hydraulic System module of
the 725C, 730C, and 730C EJ Articulated Trucks course:

• Visual Presentation 1. Given the classroom presentation and the Lab 1 Worksheets, participants will
take notes on the location of the components in the 730C EJ Articulated Truck
ejector hydraulic system and briefly describe their functionality.

• Lab 1 1. Given the Lab 1 Worksheets and a 730C EJ Articulated Truck, participants will
locate and identify the ejector hydraulic system components on the class
machine during the lab exercise.

• Lab 2 1. Given a 730C EJ Articulated Truck, appropriate service literature, tooling, and
the Lab 2 Worksheet, participants will perform the ejector hydraulic system tests
outlined on the worksheet and make the appropriate adjustments to within
specifications during lab exercises.

• Post-Assessment 1. Given all reference material and class notes, participants will answer questions
regarding the 730C EJ Articulated Truck ejector hydraulic system during a
Post-Assessment.
