Vehicle Safety & Shop Procedures (Questions 1–8)
QUESTION 1.
A technician prepares to raise a rear-wheel-drive pickup truck using a two-post lift.
Before lifting the vehicle, which action is most critical to preventing instability during
the lift?
A. Inflate all tires to maximum sidewall pressure.
B. Position the lift arms at the manufacturer's recommended lifting points and verify
equal weight distribution.
C. Remove the battery cables.
D. Drain the engine oil.
Correct Answer: B. Position the lift arms at the manufacturer's recommended
lifting points and verify equal weight distribution.
Explanation: Proper placement at manufacturer-designated lifting points ensures
vehicle stability and minimizes the risk of structural damage or tipping. Tire pressure,
battery removal, and draining oil do not significantly affect lifting safety.
QUESTION 2.
,A technician notices brake cleaner has been sprayed near an active welding area.
What should be done first?
A. Continue welding while increasing ventilation.
B. Cover the work area with a welding blanket.
C. Stop work immediately and remove the flammable hazard before resuming.
D. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
Correct Answer: C. Stop work immediately and remove the flammable hazard
before resuming.
Explanation: Brake cleaners and many solvents are highly flammable. Eliminating
ignition hazards before continuing work protects personnel and property. Battery
disconnection alone does not eliminate fire risk.
QUESTION 3.
While servicing a hybrid vehicle, which precaution is most important before accessing
high-voltage components?
A. Disconnect only the 12-volt battery.
B. Remove the service disconnect and follow manufacturer high-voltage disabling
procedures.
C. Disconnect the alternator.
D. Turn the ignition switch off.
Correct Answer: B. Remove the service disconnect and follow manufacturer high-
voltage disabling procedures.
Explanation: Hybrid vehicles contain potentially lethal high-voltage systems.
Manufacturer isolation procedures are essential before servicing. Turning the ignition
off alone does not de-energize the system.
, QUESTION 4.
A torque wrench should primarily be used to:
A. Loosen seized fasteners.
B. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque.
C. Measure bolt length.
D. Test thread pitch.
Correct Answer: B. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Explanation: Correct torque ensures proper clamping force without damaging
components. Using a torque wrench for loosening can damage the tool.
QUESTION 5.
Which personal protective equipment provides the best protection against flying
metal particles during grinding?
A. Dust mask
B. Safety glasses with side shields or a face shield
C. Mechanic gloves only
D. Ear plugs only
Correct Answer: B. Safety glasses with side shields or a face shield.
Explanation: Eye protection is essential during grinding. Gloves, hearing protection,
and dust masks serve different protective purposes but do not adequately protect
against flying debris.
