MODULE DESCRIPTION
• Module Objective This 950 GC Wheel Loader module is designed to prepare the service technician to
locate and describe the functionality of the components located around the machine
and in the operator’s station. Lab exercises will be used for skills development and
a knowledge check.

• Competency Statement Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to locate, identify, and
briefly explain the function of components in the operator’s station of the 950 GC
Wheel Loader.

• Classroom/Lab Ratio This module is comprised of approximately 40% theory (classroom presentation)
and 60% practical application (lab exercises).

• Audience Level II--field service personnel, resident mechanics, technical communicators, and
shop technicians. All participants should have a working knowledge of basic
electrical, electronic, and hydraulic control systems on Cat machines.
