A floor jack is an equipment used to lift heavy loads or apply great forces off the ground during repair and
maintenance.
To use a floor jack firstly, the equipment such as car is set on parking mode and put the hand break on. Place
something strong behind the wheels. Locate the floor jack and handle. Jack must be located underneath car and
place the floor jack to fit in. Fix the handle and turn it clockwise to raise car to the desired height. After finishing,
lower the car and carefully fold floor jack.

AURTTK002 Use and maintain tools and equipment in an automotive workplace
42. What is an air jack?
An air jack is a mechanism which is used for lifting a heavy equipment or object off the ground through the aid of
inflatable support.
It is used to lift cars to refuel and replacing the tires.
43. On jacks, hoist and jack stands, you’ll find the Safe Working Load on them. What does Safe Working Load
mean?
Safe working load (SWL)refers to the maximum safe force which a lifting equipments, accessory or lifting device
can provide to suspend, lower or lift objects without the fear of damages.
They are marked on the devices or equipments by manufacturer.
44. Why should you NEVER exceed the Safe Working Load of jacks, hoist and jack stands?
Safe working limit should not be exceeded as the jacks can fail and place danger.
Hydraulics can fail if they are used to lifting under pressure when not maintained properly.
Wedge chocks must be chocked under vehicle to avoid rolling of vehicle when lifting.
45. You should NEVER work under a vehicle that is supported by only the jack, why? And how should the vehicle
be supported?
The failure to support a hard surface can cause vehicle to slip off or roll off the jack.
To support the vehicle jack stands must be placed under appropriate parts of that vehicle and then lower it onto the
stand.
46. Why are lifting points of a vehicle important?
Lifting points are important because when vehicle is raised or lowered, travelling of it in arc can cause the vehicle to
roll off the jack.
Lifting points ensures the jack wheels are facing the appropriate direction and roll without binding.
47. When using a vehicle hoist, what should ALWAYS be engaged before working under the vehicle?
When using a vehicle host, lift equipment's safety features must be engaged before working under vehicle.
Lift equipment's safety features will ensure the completion of work with many safety features such as arm restraints,
anti sway blocks and arm restraints.

standard dimension either directly or indirectly.
51. What is the pitch of a thread?

It is a key classified unit which is used to specify threaded fasteners in the metric systems.
Thread pitch also refers to the distance between threads.
It is expressed in millimetres and measurement is taken along with the length of fastener.
52. From an appropriate table, find the pitch of the threads for a 10mm bolt?
Standard thread pitch- 1.5, Fine thread pitch-1.25
Extra fine thread pitch-1, Just In Sequence thread pitch-1.25

Once the screw extractor is at full depth it can be used as an extension of screw.
55. How does a Stud installation and removal tool work?
A stud installation or stud removal tool involves a couple body members that are each scaled upon the stud to be
tightened or removed against one another, so that one of the all members of body might be rotated to effect removal
of a stud.
56. Name the following pullers?
Jaw Puller

AURTTK002 Use and maintain tools and equipment in an automotive workplace
SKF- Strong Back pullers
Hubcap
57. Where would you use a jaw type puller?
A jaw type puller is a mechanical jaw puller used to remove gears, wheel hubs and all the hard to remove parts of
vehicle.
They are used for removing shaft mounted components without damaging the machine component or th vehicle.
58. Identify the sealing equipment below.
Manual silicone gun
Cordless Adhesive Gun Kit
59. What are the advantages that hot melt adhesives have over solvent based adhesives?
1. The drying step is eliminated if hot adhesives are used instead of solvent based adhesive.
2. The volatile organic compounds can be eliminated or reduced.
3. They have long shelf life and can be disposed off without special precautions.

60. Explain the seven (7) step on how to use silicone gun?
A silicone gun can be used through following steps:
1. Press release at the rear of gun with thumb by releasing plunger at the backside of gun.
2. Pull the plunger back and put tube into gun by putting nozzle in front.
3. Push plunger into the back of tube and remove thumb to load the gun.
4. To match the size of gap, cut the tip of cartridge.
5. To puncture inner seal, push a nail or pin through the nail.
6. Hold gun and gap at 45 degree angles.
7. Squeeze gun handle slowly. Repeat the process to apply more caulk. Smooth out excess caulk when done.

61. Describe the steps to safely select and use workplace tools and equipment?
The following steps are followed:
1. Assess and evaluate risks associated with workplace tools and equipment before use.
2. Consider the employee and machine interactions and review Tagout and Tagout processes.
3. Ensuring the protective devices such as light curtains, hand controls and doors etc.
4. Ensuring appropriate administrative measures such as signs, lights protocol training, personal protective
equipments and horns etc. to engineer control.
5. Ask various question to analyse adequacy of risk reduction measures.
6. Conduct regular safety inspections and maintenance and use the machine.
62. What is Lockout/Tagout?
A Lockout or Tagout is a safety program which helps to prevent contact with danger when performing the tasks
which require removal or deactivation of safe guarding devices.
