Study Notes
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment, essential for workplace safety compliance.
Hearing Protection
- Hearing protection is necessary if voices must be raised at an arm's length to communicate, indicating high noise levels.
Eye Protection
- Eye protection is required not only when using air tools but also in various other hazardous conditions.
Workplace Injuries
- Slip and fall accidents account for approximately 12% of all workplace injuries, highlighting the importance of preventative measures.
Lifting Techniques
- Holding your breath while lifting heavy loads is detrimental; proper breathing techniques should be followed.
Tire Specifications
- Tires with a 16.5-inch bead diameter do not have a 5-degree bead taper; this statement is false.
- Technicians must always consider the placard when selecting tire sizes for replacement.
Tire Types
- Bias ply tires feature casing piles arranged at an angle between the beads, affecting performance characteristics.
- Rotational tires must align arrows with the direction of the tire's rotation during installation.
Tire Markings
- Radial tires must be marked with "radial" on the sidewall to indicate their construction type.
Tire Rotation
- The tire rotation pattern must be appropriate for the vehicle type and tire condition; random rotation is not acceptable.
Tire Sizes
- Larger tires can lead to inaccuracies in speedometers and odometers, affecting vehicle operation.
- For 4WD vehicles, all four tires must be the same size to ensure optimal performance.
Wheel Measurements
- Rim diameters are measured in inches, not millimeters, which is a common misconception.
Lug and Bolt Patterns
- Wheel lug nuts vary and should not be interchanged; using incorrect nuts can compromise safety.
- On 6-lug wheels, bolt patterns are measured from the center of one hole to the center of the opposite hole.
Wheel Offset
- A wheel with zero offset has its mounting surface on the rim's centerline, impacting wheel alignment.
Safety Procedures
- A thorough walk-around inspection should be performed before lifting a vehicle to identify any pre-existing damage.
Vehicle Lifting
- Securing the tire opposite to the one being lifted with a wheel chock is crucial for safety during vehicle lifting.
Impact Tools and Accessories
- Cosmetic lug caps can break if loosened with an impact wrench, indicating the need for careful handling.
- When using air pressure that is 80% of the operating range in a steel tire, the tire must be completely deflated before removal.
Fastener Torque
- Torque represents twisting force, critical for ensuring the integrity of assembled components.
- Proper torque is vital to keep the assembly secured to the vehicle, enhancing safety and performance.
Installation Considerations
- Removing contaminants from mating surfaces before installation ensures the correct installation torque is achieved.
- Lug nuts and lug bolts should regularly be inspected for wear or damage as part of vehicle maintenance.
TPMS and Tire Repair
- Sensor positions must be carefully noted during the tire demounting process to prevent damage to the sensor and valve stem.
- During tire repairs, it’s important to treat each assembly as if it possesses a TPMS sensor.
Tire Repairs
- Tire bead leaks cannot be effectively repaired with inner sealant, which can lead to further issues.
- Cleaning the inner tire liner is essential before conducting repairs to ensure proper adhesion of repair materials.
- Plugs installed from the outside of the tire are deemed unacceptable and could compromise tire safety.
Speed Ratings
- After repairing a speed-rated tire, the speed rating remains valid barring any structural compromises.
- When stitching a repair unit, technicians should work from the center outward to avoid trapping air.
