Finning Power Systems CourseCatalogueGeneral Information

Introduction This catalogue contains course descriptions, prerequisites and schedulesfor customer and Finning personnel. Classes range in size from 6 to 12

people.

Enrollment For schedule inquiries please call (403) 516-2805. To enroll, fax aproperly completed copy of the enrollment form at the back of this bookto (403) 516-2828. Do not consider an enrollment to be official until aconfirmation letter has been received.

Safety Equipment Students must bring approved coveralls, safety glasses with side shieldsandsafetyfootwear. Students without the proper safety equipment maynot be allowed to participate in the lab activities. Also, since the majorityof classes involve hands-on activity, suitable attire is suggested. Shorts

are not permitted for safety reasons.

Hotel Reservations Upon receipt of confirmation, it is recommended that the customer orparticipant confirm reservations at the hotel listed. All hotel fees are theresponsibility of the company or student attending.

Fees Effective January 1, 2007 all schools will be $250.00 per student per dayplus cost of material plus GST. Fees are NON REFUNDABLE andmethod of payment must be included with the enrollment form. If thestudent is unable to attend, please notify us at least 10 business daysprior to the start of the course to avoid a 50% cancellation charge.

Classes Classes begin at 8:00am and end between 4:00pm and 5:00pm. Studentsare given one hour for lunch and will be responsible for their own meals.All Finning locations have several near-by-dining establishments tochoose from. Students who do not attend the entire session will not beawarded a certificate of completion.

Prerequisites For some classes the students require prerequisite courses as they may betaught in a progressive sequence. Please refer to the course descriptionsto see if any apply.

Certification The majority of the courses are the same as those offered at CaterpillarsEngine Training Division and therefore certain courses are recognizedand certified by CAT. However, attending Caterpillar training doesnot certify a technician as qualified, after completion all that can beoffered is a certificate of recognition for completing the course.

Finning Power Systems CourseCatalogueContents

The Training Catalogue includes predetermined course descriptions for training from operatormaintenance to advanced level training for customer technicians on several Caterpillarmodel engines. Custom courses for Operation and Maintenance can be designed around each

customers specific application to meet their needs. This requires a minimum of 60 days toorganize the course objectives, agenda and material if the existing schedule allows.

Operation & Maintenance Courses:Operation and maintenance training courses are designed with a generic set of objectives

and can be applied to most engine models, 3600 training requires more specific content. If theengine is part of a generator package, a generator maintenance segment can be added coveringsafety, cleaning, bearing maintenance and Megger testing procedures.

G3600 Operation & Maintenance10

Natural Gas Engine Technician Courses:Gas engine training is a two-part course covering topics from maintenance and basic gas

principles on stoichiometric engines to advanced lean burn controls. All engine models arecovered from G300 series with dual bank systems up to and including G3500 Series LeanBurn engines with Electronic Ignition Systems (EIS) and automatic Air/Fuel Ratio Control.

-Electronics Courses:

Electronic training uses specific objectives, but is geared towards diesel engine

technology and the customers product and application. The electronic program is a two-partcourse; the first class can be done without the second. The second portion focuses on handson training and troubleshooting techniques and requires the basic skills learned in part one.
