Task C-9 Services prime movers
Task Descriptor
Prime movers are the driver of the mechanical system and include equipment such as electric motors, turbines (for example wind, water, gas or steam) and internal combustion engines. They must be installed correctly and maintained properly to provide optimum power and torque to the driven systems and to ensure reliability of the prime mover. Servicing includes installing, diagnosing, maintaining and repairing.

Task C-11 Services couplings, clutches and brakes
Task Descriptor
Couplings transfer torque, power, and rotary and linear motion from one shaft to another. Clutches allow engagement and disengagement of power and torque. Brakes slow or stop the motion. They must be installed correctly and maintained properly to provide optimum power and torque to the driven systems and to ensure reliability. Servicing includes installing, diagnosing, maintaining and repairing.
