Question: As part of your daily inspection, you must check the lug nuts on each wheel. What are you primarily looking for?

Answer options: ✅ Ensure all lug nuts are present and appear tight, with no signs of looseness or rust trails.

• Confirm all lug nuts are correctly torqued using a calibrated torque wrench.
• Check that the lug nuts are clean and free of dirt accumulation.
• Verify that the lug nuts match the specifications of the hub studs.

Correct answer: Ensure all lug nuts are present and appear tight, with no signs of looseness or rust trails.

Explanation: During a visual daily inspection, an operator's primary check for lug nuts is to ensure their presence and look for visual cues of looseness, such as shiny spots around the nut, rust trails, or missing nuts. While proper torque is essential, an operator generally performs a visual check unless explicitly trained for torque application. Section 93(1) of O. Reg. 213/91 requires equipment to be maintained in good condition, which includes secure wheels.
