Why should a skid steer not be travelled if there is no attachment/bucket fitted to the loader 39 arms? a) Name THREE purposes of the raised lugs on tyres and b) what can happen to a skid steer if the lugs are severely worn? 40 Describe briefly how a (wheeled) skid steer ‘steers’ or changes direction. 41 When constructing a ramp to load a small crusher, name THREE considerations to take into 42 account. List SIX typical subject areas that should be covered in a site induction. 43 Who should determine the maximum load that should be placed into a load-transporting 44 vehicle? Using the Operator’s Manual, state the cold-starting procedure for the machine. Note: The Operator’s Manual for the machine being used for the test MUST be available for reference by the candidate. 45 Name THREE attachments that are available for a skid steer. 46 How can a skid steer turn around within its own area? 47 When travelling on wet clay or rock, what effect does this have on the skid steer? 48 Where should the Operator’s Manual be kept and why? 49 If the operator has to top-up the hydraulic oil, state TWO precautions to ensure cleanliness of 50 the system. Whenever possible, who should decide the positioning of the vehicle to be loaded? 51 What are the possible outcomes of facing prosecution for not complying with legislation and 52 regulations? On pneumatic tyre-equipped machines, what is a possible consequence of using a tyre with a deep cut in the sidewall? 53 On a semi-automatic quick-hitch bucket attaching system: a) what is the purpose of the safety pin and 54 b) what checks MUST be made to the pin before use? Name THREE ways in which an operator can minimise their impact upon the environment whilst using the machine. 55 The operator has to fit and use a new attachment using a quick-hitch coupler that they are unfamiliar with. What do Regulations (i.e. PUWER 98) and other guidance require the operator 56 to have? What does The Health and Safety at Work Act require employers to do with regards 57 specifically to plant?
