1 / 40
A. 1 psi in one minute
B. 1 psi in 30 seconds
C. 3 psi in one minute
With a fully-charged air system, turn off the engine, release the parking brake, and time the air pressure drop. The loss rate should be less than two psi in one minute for single vehicle brakes released, and three with the brakes applied.
2 / 40
A. the "controlled braking" method.
B. the "stab braking" method.
C. either of the above.
You should brake in a way that will keep your vehicle in a straight line and allow you to turn if it becomes necessary. You can use the "controlled braking" method or the "stab braking" method.
3 / 40
A. Spring pressure
B. Centrifugal force
C. Air pressure
When driving, powerful springs are held back by air pressure. If the air pressure is removed, the springs put on the brakes.
4 / 40
A. slack adjuster; brake camshaft
B. slack adjuster; tie rod
C. brake camshaft; tie rod
In S-cam brakes when you push the brake pedal, air is let into each brake chamber. Air pressure pushes the rod out, moving the slack adjuster, thus twisting the brake camshaft. This turns the s-cam. The s-cam forces the brake shoes away from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum.
5 / 40
A. lock the wheels for short periods of time.
B. can turn sharply.
C. brake in a straight line.
You apply the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels. Keep steering wheel movements very small while doing this. If you need to make a larger steering adjustment or if the wheels lock, release the brakes. Re-apply the brakes as soon as you can.
6 / 40
A. spring brakes.
B. front brakes.
C. amount of pressure in the brake system.
In some vehicles a control handle on the dash board may be used to apply the spring brakes gradually. This is called a modulating valve. It is spring-loaded, so you have a feel for the braking action. The more you move the control lever, the harder the spring brakes come on.
7 / 40
A. Never
B. If you will only be away from the truck for a few minutes
C. If you will be conducting your pre-trip inspection
Never leave your vehicle unattended without applying the parking brakes or chocking the wheels. Your vehicle might roll away and cause injury and damage.
8 / 40
A. Pressure on the brake pedal is released and speed increases.
B. The brake feels spongy when pressure is applied.
C. You must push harder on the brake pedal to control your speed on a downgrade.
Increasing application pressure to hold the same speed means the brakes are fading.
9 / 40
A. the brake feels spongy when you apply pressure.
B. you have to press the brake pedal harder than usual to control your speed.
C. you release the brake pedal and your speed increases.
As the overheated drums expand, the brake shoes and linings have to move farther to contact the drums, and the force of this contact is reduced. So, you will be pressing harder on the pedal.
10 / 40
A. Stop. Safely park and continue only after the system is fixed.
B. Continue at normal speed and find a garage before the brakes lock.
C. Reduce your speed and drive to the nearest garage for repairs.
The warning light and buzzer should come on before the air pressure drops below 60 psi in either system. If this happens while driving, you should stop right away and safely park the vehicle. If one air system is very low on pressure, either the front or the rear brakes will not be operating fully. This means it will take you longer to stop. Bring the vehicle to a safe stop and have the air brakes system fixed.
11 / 40
A. Water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
B. The low boiling point of water reduces braking power.
C. Water over cools the compressor.
Compressed air usually has some water and some compressor oil in it, which is bad for the air brake system, the water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure. The water and oil tend to collect in the bottom of the air tank. Be sure that you drain the air tanks completely.
12 / 40
A. brake firmly while slowly moving backward.
B. stop the vehicle, put it in low gear, depress the brake pedal, and then gently pull against the brakes.
C. brake firmly while slowly moving forward.
Pull forward at 5 mph, apply the service brake and stop. Check to see that the vehicle does not pull to either side and that it stops when brake is applied.
13 / 40
A. Not applicable; no braking effect is involved in a downgrade.
B. They work as the main braking mechanism.
C. They work as the main braking mechanism with the engine braking effect as an emergency backup.
D. They work as a supplement to the braking effect of your engine.
The use of brakes on a long and/or steep downgrade is only a supplement to the braking effect of the engine.
14 / 40
A. 2
B. 1
C. 3
With a fully-charged air system, turn off the engine, release the parking brake, and time the air pressure drop. The loss rate should be less than two psi in one minute for single vehicle brakes released, and three with the brakes applied.
15 / 40
A. Never do it without downshifting first.
B. Don't lock the wheels for longer than an instant.
C. Disconnecting the steering axle brakes will help keep your vehicle in a straight-line during emergency braking.
Emergency braking does not mean pushing down on the brake pedal as hard as you can. That will only keep the wheels locked up and cause a skid. If the wheels are skidding, you cannot control the vehicle.
16 / 40
A. Check and fill the alcohol level.
B. Clean the air filter with alcohol
C. Change the alcohol from a new bottle.
Check the alcohol container and fill up as necessary, every day during cold weather.
17 / 40
A. Worn 1/32 of an inch.
B. Against the drum.
C. Worn dangerously thin.
D. Disconnected from the slack adjusters.
To stop, the brake shoes and linings are pushed against the inside of the drum. This causes friction, which slows the vehicle.
18 / 40
A. Overheating, low air pressure, and not relying on the engine braking effect
B. Not pressing the brake pedal hard enough
C. Not taking your foot off the accelerator
Brakes can fade or fail from excessive heat caused by using them too much and not relying on the engine braking effect, they are also affected by adjustment, and low air pressure.
19 / 40
A. An air pressure gauge to show the pressure available for braking.
B. At least two air tanks.
C. An air pressure gauge to show air used by the brake chambers for braking.
All vehicles with air brakes have a pressure gauge connected to the air tank. If the vehicle has a dual air brake system, there will be a gauge for each half of the system.
20 / 40
A. applies the brakes in the event of an emergency.
B. applies the brakes during normal driving.
C. lets the air out of the brake chambers.
A parking brake control in the cab allows the driver to let the air out of the spring brakes. This lets the springs put the brakes on.
21 / 40
A. a white lamp on the right side.
B. a yellow lamp on the left side.
C. a white lamp on the left side.
Converter dollies built on or after March 1, 1998, are required to have antilock brakes. These dollies will have a yellow lamp on the left side of the dolly.
22 / 40
A. Release the spring brakes to move a short distance.
B. Apply more brake pressure if the main tank is getting low.
C. Stay parked without using up service air pressure.
When main air pressure is lost, the spring brakes come on. Some vehicles have a separate air tank which can be used to release the spring brakes. This is so you can move the vehicle in an emergency.
23 / 40
A. If you're parking for less than one hour
B. When you are testing whether they will hold the vehicle
C. If the brakes are very hot
Don't use the parking brakes if the brakes are very hot (from just having come down a steep grade), or if the brakes are very wet in freezing temperatures. If they are used while they are very hot, they can be damaged by the heat. If they are used in freezing temperatures when the brakes are very wet, they can freeze so the vehicle cannot move. Use wheel chocks instead.
24 / 40
A. Accelerate, then brake hard.
B. Press the brake pedal while listening for any strange noises.
C. All of the above will work.
D. Use gloves and pull hard on each slack adjuster you can reach.
Use gloves and pull hard on each slack adjuster that you can reach. If a slack adjuster moves more than about one inch where the push rod attaches to it, it probably needs adjustment.
25 / 40
A. you may lose air pressure, but at least you'll know about it anyway.
B. it may lead to sudden emergency braking in a single-circuit air system.
C. neither of the above will happen.
If the warning signal doesn't work, you could lose air pressure and you would not know it. This could cause sudden emergency braking in a single-circuit air system. In dual systems the stopping distance will be increased. Only limited braking can be done before the spring brakes come on.
26 / 40
A. 10 to 15 psi.
B. 20 to 45 psi.
C. 60 to 80 psi.
Tractor and straight truck spring brakes will come fully on when air pressure drops to a range of 20 to 45 psi (typically 20 to 30 psi).
27 / 40
A. Is in the air tanks.
B. Is being applied to the brakes.
C. Has been used on the trip.
Application Pressure Gauge shows how much air pressure you are applying to the brakes.
28 / 40
A. Mechanical force.
B. Air pressure.
C. Electrical.
Drivers behind you must be warned when you put your brakes on. The air brake system does this with an electric switch that works by air pressure. The switch turns on the brake lights when you put on the air brakes.
29 / 40
A. It is constantly spinning whenever the wheel is spinning.
B. It makes the brake shoes move in an S-shaped path.
C. It is shaped like the letter "S."
The S-cam is S-shaped. The s-cam forces the brake shoes away from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum.
30 / 40
A. The manual slack adjusters will not be set properly.
B. Either the front or rear brakes will not be fully operational.
C. The emergency brakes will come on immediately.
A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, which use a single set of brake controls. Each system has its own air tanks, hoses, lines, etc. One system typically operates the regular brakes on the rear axle or axles. The other system operates the regular brakes on the front axle and possibly one rear axle.
31 / 40
A. Park on level ground, chock the wheels, and release the parking brakes.
B. Stop on level ground and apply the parking brakes.
C. Park on level ground and drain off air pressure before adjusting.
For manual slack adjustors, the brake pushrod should not move more than one inch, with the brakes released, when pulled by hand.
32 / 40
A. 5 psi for single vehicles and 10 psi for combination vehicles.
B. 1 psi for single vehicles and 3 psi for combination vehicles.
C. 5 psi for single vehicles and 6 psi for combination vehicles.
D. 3 psi for single vehicles and 4 psi for combination vehicles.
With a fully-charged air system typically 125 psi, turn off the engine, release the parking brake; and time the air pressure drop. The loss rate should be less than two psi in one minute for single vehicles brakes released and three with the brakes applied, and less than three psi in one minute for combination vehicles with the brakes released and four with the brakes applied.
33 / 40
A. The one-way check valve
B. The tractor protection valve
C. The emergency relay valve
Installed on the compressor side of the air tank is a one-way check valve, it allows air into the tanks, but does not allow it to flow back to the compressor.
34 / 40
A. 1/2 inch
B. 1-1/2 inches
C. 1 inch
Park on level ground and chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving, release the parking brakes so you can move the slack adjusters, using gloves and pull hard on each slack adjuster that you can reach, and if a slack adjuster moves more than about one inch where the push rod attaches to it then adjustments are needed.
35 / 40
A. 300 to 350 feet
B. 100 to 250 feet
C. More than 400 feet
The total minimum distance your vehicle has traveled, in ideal conditions; with everything considered, including perception distance, reaction distance and braking distance, until you can bring your vehicle to a complete stop. At 55 mph, your vehicle will travel about 450 feet.
36 / 40
A. foot
B. emergency
C. S-cam
Air brakes are really three different braking systems: service brake, parking brake, and emergency brake.
37 / 40
A. The brakes could fail.
B. The brakes could lock up.
C. The brakes could heat up.
Compressed air usually has some water and some compressor oil in it, which is bad for the air brake system. For example, the water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
38 / 40
A. 1/8
B. 1/4
C. 1/2
Brake drums or discs must not have cracks longer than one half the width of the friction area.
39 / 40
A. a loss of brake air pressure.
B. a buildup of brake air pressure.
C. no change in brake air pressure.
Each time you release the brakes, some compressed air leaves the system and must be replenished by the air compressor. If you keep pressing and releasing the brake pedal, air may leave the system faster than the air compressor can replenish it, and the air pressure may drop to the point that the brakes won't work.
40 / 40
A. Only on a slippery road
B. Never
C. Only when driving downhill
Never push the brake pedal down when the spring brakes are on. If you do, the brakes could be damaged by the combined forces of the springs and the air pressure.
