Which of the following actions should be performed prior to changing a wheel on a bus?
Explanation
Correct answer: Place chocks under the opposite wheel.
Placing securing chocks under a wheel on the axle that is not being raised is a crucial action that guarantees safety. This prevents the bus from moving uncontrollably after part of it has been raised on a lift, when the vehicle's stability is reduced. The chocks provide an additional, mechanical safeguard that operates independently of the parking brake.
