This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to operate and maintain quad bikes as well as load and unload them onto trailers or other vehicles used for their transport.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety requirements manufacturer’s specifications and operator manuals and sustainability practices.
Working with quad bikes is an inherently dangerous activity. Individuals who work at this level must be thoroughly instructed in all work health and safety aspects of operating quad bikes.
This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision and exercise limited autonomy with some accountability for own work. They undertake defined activities and provide solutions to a limited range of predictable problems.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

3.2 Perform routine operational servicing and minor maintenance
3.3 Identify and report malfunctions, faults, irregular performance or damage
3.4 Clean, secure and store quad bike
3.5 Follow wash-down procedures in line with biosecurity guidelines where required
3.6 Maintain quad bike use records for servicing purposes
3.7 Load and secure quad bike safely
The candidate must be observed operating a quad bike using safe work procedures.
The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
The candidate must provide evidence that they can:
identify hazards and risks associated with quad bike use
identify safe work areas
select, fit correctly, use and maintain personal protective equipment including helmets
operate quad bikes in a range of riding surface conditions and terrain conditions
steer, manoeuvre, position and stop the quad bike in a smooth and controlled manner
apply hand-eye coordination and correctly transfer body weight (active riding) to maintain bike stability including riding on uneven or steep terrain
follow enterprise work health and safety procedures
unload and load quad bike safely
follow wash-down procedures in line with biosecurity guidelines
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:
hazards and risks associated with quad bike use
components, controls and features of quad bikes and their functions
a range of quad bikes and functional applications
operating principles and operating methods of quad bikes
manufacturer’s instructions, including but not exclusive to the operating manual
load limits and the principles of weight distribution with regard to load shifting and bike movement including riding on uneven or steep terrain
loading and unloading safely from a trailer or other transportation device
effects of different riding surfaces and terrain conditions on the operation of quad bikes
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting. All evidence collected must meet minimum requirements including industry standard timeframes for performance of tasks.
Assessment must be conducted in a range of riding surface conditions and in a range of terrains appropriate for the safe use of quad bikes.
Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
