CTE Preventive Maintenance Procedures 3

Question 1

Which factor most directly determines the frequency of preventive maintenance for CTE shop equipment?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturer recommendations combined with actual hours of use

Answer

Manufacturer maintenance schedules combined with actual usage hours provide the most accurate basis for maintenance frequency.

Question 2

A CTE woodworking teacher wants to ensure table saw blades remain in optimal condition. Which practice best achieves this?

Accepted Answer

Regularly cleaning resin buildup and inspecting for missing or damaged teeth

Answer

Cleaning resin buildup and inspecting blade teeth maintains cutting efficiency and prevents dangerous blade failure.

Question 3

When documenting preventive maintenance in a CTE program, which information is LEAST important to record?

Accepted Answer

The original purchase price of the equipment

Answer

Purchase price is a financial record, not a maintenance record, and is not relevant to tracking equipment service history.

Question 4

A CTE HVAC instructor is teaching students about filter maintenance in air handling units. What is the correct rationale for regular filter replacement?

Accepted Answer

To prevent restricted airflow that overworks the blower motor and reduces air quality

Answer

Clogged filters restrict airflow, causing the blower motor to work harder, reducing efficiency, and degrading indoor air quality.

Question 5

In a CTE manufacturing lab, a student reports that a lathe makes a grinding noise when starting. What should the teacher do first?

Accepted Answer

Immediately shut down the lathe and tag it out of service for inspection

Answer

Grinding noises indicate potential bearing or gear failure; the equipment must be taken out of service for inspection before use continues.
