Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria 

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Prepare to repair bicycle hydraulic braking system

1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.2 Manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and other relevant technical information are accessed and interpreted

1.3 Condition of bicycle hydraulic braking system  is inspected using visual inspection methods and by comparing measurements against manufacturer specifications

1.4 Repair options and techniques are identified and confirmed

1.5 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.6 Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are selected and checked for serviceability

1.7 Work area is prepared and repair process, including post-repair testing, is planned to avoid damage to bicycle, minimise waste and use time efficiently

2. Carry out repair and overhaul of braking system

2.1 Hydraulic braking system is repaired according to repair plan and safety and environmental requirements 

2.2 Required replacement parts are checked and fitted according to manufacturer specifications

2.3 Hydraulic braking system specifications are checked according to workplace procedures

2.4 Operation of repaired braking system is tested through its full range and adjustments made as required

2.5 Results and quality issues are reported to authorised personnel as required

3. Complete work processes

3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and bicycle is presented ready for use

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored

3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures

3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance and are not explicit in the performance criteria.

  • repair and overhaul three different bicycle hydraulic braking systems
  • during work on the above three bicycles, service the following:
  • master cylinder
  • hydraulic lines and linkages
  • cantilever, disc and drum brakes
  • integrated brake and gear levers.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to repairing and overhauling bicycle hydraulic braking systems, including procedures for:
  • manually handling bicycles and their systems
  • identifying workplace hazards
  • using tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • identifying safe location for testing brakes
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for disposing of waste materials
  • purpose, classification and application of bicycle hydraulic braking system principles
  • key features of hydraulic braking system components, including:
  • master cylinder
  • hydraulic lines and linkages
  • hydraulic fluid
  • cantilever, disc and drum brakes
  • integrated brake and gear levers
  • types and use of tools and equipment used to repair and overhaul bicycle hydraulic braking systems
  • techniques and processes for repairing and overhauling bicycle hydraulic braking systems, including:

Assessment Conditions

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 bicycle hydraulic braking systems that they have repaired and overhauled, 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:

  • bicycle workplace or simulated workplace, including location to test bicycle braking system
  • workplace instructions detailing job requirements
  • PPE required to repair and overhaul bicycle hydraulic braking systems
  • manufacturer or brake component specifications and technical information for hydraulic braking system
  • three different bicycles with the hydraulic braking system components specified in the performance evidence and requiring repair and overhaul
  • tools and equipment appropriate for repairing and overhauling bicycle hydraulic braking systems.
