This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Safety requirements must include: | work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for: lifting and supporting motorcycles avoiding entanglement when working with chains, sprockets, belts and pulleys. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
carry out minor adjustments to one motorcycle, including:
clutch
chain tension
one of the following:
brakes
suspension and steering
engine, attachments and controls
foot controls
handlebars and hand controls
accessories.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety(WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to carrying out minor adjustments to motorcycles, including procedures for:
lifting and supporting motorcycles
avoiding entanglement when working with chains, sprockets, belts and pulleys
identification and function of motorcycle systems, including:
clutch
chain drive
brakes
suspension
steering
engine, attachments and controls
foot controls
handlebars and hand controls
accessories
motorcycle adjustment procedures, including hand and foot controls
motorcycle post-adjustment testing procedures.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the minor adjustments that they have carried out on motorcycle components and equipment, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive workplace or simulated workplace
task instructions
manufacturer motorcycle specifications
one motorcycle and the motorcycle components specified in the performance evidence
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for carrying out minor adjustments to motorcycles.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
