WALMART MAINTENANCE Equipment Troubleshooting 5

Question 1

A forklift's load backrest extension is cracked. The correct action before returning the unit to service is:

Accepted Answer

Replace the backrest extension before use

Answer

A cracked load backrest extension must be replaced; structural cracks compromise the safety function of the component.

Question 2

An HVAC unit in the store makes a loud banging noise only at startup. After the first few seconds, it runs quietly. This pattern suggests:

Accepted Answer

Loose or failed motor mount allowing startup torque shock

Answer

A loose or broken motor mount allows the motor to shift violently during startup torque, then settles during steady-state operation.

Question 3

A battery-operated floor sweeper has reduced runtime per charge compared to when it was new. The maintenance technician should:

Accepted Answer

Test battery capacity and replace worn battery cells or pack

Answer

Reduced runtime is the primary symptom of battery capacity degradation; testing and replacing the battery pack restores normal operation.

Question 4

A dock seal or dock shelter is torn and allows outside air and rain into the facility. The immediate safety concern is:

Accepted Answer

Slippery wet floor creating slip and fall hazard

Answer

Water intrusion from a damaged dock seal creates wet floor conditions that are a direct slip-and-fall hazard for associates.

Question 5

A propane forklift starts but runs roughly and lacks power. The LPG tank gauge reads full. What should be inspected?

Accepted Answer

Vaporizer/regulator and fuel filter for ice or restriction

Answer

A full tank with poor engine performance points to a restricted vaporizer, iced regulator, or clogged fuel filter preventing proper fuel delivery.
