Question 1: How does a Heavy Equipment Operator ensure that a grader's blade is set correctly for road leveling?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing only on the blade's angle and ignoring the height

By estimating the blade height based on visual inspection

By calibrating the blade's position and angle to ensure even material distribution

By operating the grader without adjustments

Question 2: How should a Heavy Equipment Operator ensure equipment setup complies with site-specific safety regulations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing only on machine performance, ignoring safety regulations

By only verifying safety regulations after an accident

By assuming the equipment is always compliant

By adjusting settings and conducting safety checks according to the site's hazard assessment and regulations

Question 3: How should a Heavy Equipment Operator adjust the settings of an excavator when working near a building foundation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By increasing the speed of operation to reduce time near the foundation

By working without calibration and reducing the machine's speed

By ensuring the equipment's reach and load capacity are properly calibrated to avoid overloading or disturbing the foundation

By ignoring proximity to the foundation as long as the machine is functioning

Question 4: What is the significance of checking for oil leaks during routine maintenance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Oil leaks only require attention if the engine temperature rises

Oil leaks indicate a problem with seals, gaskets, or the oil system that must be addressed to prevent further damage

Oil leaks are irrelevant unless the engine shuts down

Oil leaks are only a minor issue and do not affect the operation

Question 5: How should an excavator's bucket be calibrated to ensure optimal digging depth?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Check the hydraulic fluid for contamination

Adjust the hydraulic pressure and arm length

Ensure the bucket is free of debris and wear

Calibrate the tilt angle for even surface coverage

Question 6: What is the proper method to inspect the condition of hydraulic cylinders on heavy equipment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Inspect for visible signs of leakage and check for smooth operation

Test for smooth operation by extending and retracting the cylinder

Inspect the bucket attachment and hydraulic lines

Check for cracks or corrosion on the cylinder housing
