Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Select and prepare an indent cylinder seed processing machine for use
   • An indent shell or cylinder is selected and prepared to job requirements and confirmed against work plan.
   • Routine pre-operational checks of the machine are completed to manufacturers' specifications and enterprise requirements.
   • Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards in the workplace are recognised, risk assessed and minimised according to enterprise requirements.
2. Operate an indent cylinder seed processing machine
   • The indent cylinder machine is operated in a safe and controlled manner and monitored for performance and efficiency.
   • Risks to self, others and the environment are anticipated and minimisation strategies implemented accordingly.
   • Suitable personal protective clothing and equipment is selected, used, maintained and stored according to OHS requirements.
   • Environmental implications associated with machinery operation are identified, assessed and reported to the supervisor.
3. Complete and report on seed cleaning machinery operation
   • Shut-down procedures for the machine are completed to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise requirements.
   • Operational records are completed and maintained according to enterprise requirements.
   • Malfunctions, faults, observation of irregular performance and damage to the machine are detailed and reported according to enterprise requirements.
   • The machine is cleaned and the shells or cylinder are stored according to OHS and enterprise requirements.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	In order to confer competency evidence must prove that the candidate is able to select and prepare an indent cylinder seed processing machine for use operate an indent cylinder seed processing machine complete and report on seed cleaning machinery operations
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances
