3.
When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails to straighten the wheels before a stacking/destacking operation. When are points awarded for each such fault?
4.
The term ‘MEDIUM LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:
5.
When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the candidate engages the wrong hydraulic control, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?
6.
The practical test of basic operating skills is designed to test a candidates efficiency. In addition to the rehearsed time it would not be expected, in normal operating conditions, for the practical element of the basic operating skills test to take more than:
7.
When conducting the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST it is necessary to ensure the candidate turns with fork arms trailing toward the chicane following stacking/de stacking operations in order:
8.

9.
The term ‘HIGH LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:
10.
The standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’ requires the candidate to place a laden pallet close to a vertical face. This pallet must be placed squarely to and within:
11.
Why should the instructor walk the candidates through the test course for the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST before the test commences?
12.
Upon completion of the test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for lift truck operators the instructor should be required to:

The bank of questions provided by the Accrediting Bodies Association for Workplace Transport (ABA) for the purposes of conducting the associated knowledge examination:
14.
The minimum aisle width for a counterbalance truck should be calculated from the manufacturer’s theoretical minimum 90 degree (90°) stacking aisle width for the particular truck and its load, plus:
15.
The BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST should be conducted on a one to one basis:
16.
When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails to apply the handbrake during a stacking/destacking operation. Is this considered to be a fault? If so how many points must the examiner award for each such fault?
17.

19.
The associated knowledge examination must contain how many mandatory questions?
20.
When constructing a test course for the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” for lift truck operators, the examiner must ensure that it complies with the ABA Standard. The width of the CHICANE at the critical points of each turn must allow a clearance (pivot point, truck & load extremities) of:
21.
When constructing a test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the length of the chicane between the left and right hand turns for COUNTERBALANCE and REACH TRUCKS should be:
22.
There is a good reason, when constructing a course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for the lift truck operators, for ensuring that the distance separating the chicane from the first operation within the main aisle is determined with care. The reason for this is so that:
23.
When constructing a test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the width of the main aisle for COUNTERBALANCE and REACH TRUCKS should be calculated from the manufacturer’s theoretical minimum 90 degree (90°) stacking aisle width for the particular truck and its load, plus:
24.
During the conduct of the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, the candidate engages the fork arms into a laden pallet and lifts it clear of the floor, racking beams/shelf or stack. The examiner will award penalty points if the fork arms are off centre in the pallet more than:
25.
When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the examiner will award penalty points if the candidate is unduly slow and hesitant. Penalty points will be awarded when the “SET TIME” exceeds:
