This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to safely operate quad bikes including undertaking pre-start checks and shut down procedures.

The unit applies to individuals who operate quad bikes to undertake routine work under general supervision with limited autonomy and accountability.

Vehicle must be operated according to relevant state/territory licensing authority vehicle licence requirements and regulations.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements 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)

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This section specifies different 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.

Personal protective equipment must include:	a suitable quad bike helmet enclosed toe shoes.
Pre-operational checks must include:	vehicle damage and serviceability fuel brake effectiveness throttle smooth operation and self-closing return tyres including pressure and condition vehicle controls.
Quad bike active riding techniques must include:	pre-positioning, correct timing and appropriate adjustment of operator body weight when going uphill including body weight forward pre-positioning, correct timing and appropriate adjustment of operator body weight when going downhill including body weight rearward positioning of operator body weight centrally when cornering at very slow speeds, and transition to positioning of operator body weight to the inside of the turn when cornering at higher speeds positioning of operator body weight centrally when cornering at very slow speeds, and transition to positioning of operator body weight to the uphill side when riding across slopes standing up to improve situational awareness and ability to exercise active riding technique, when operating in restricted visibility situations, rough terrains, crossing obstacles and avoiding hazards.
Unload, load and secure quad bike must include at least one of the following:	trailer transportation device on-site vehicle storage.

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.
