    • DAir is released from the tires to slow the wheels
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. Air is sent to the brake chambers, which apply the brakes

    The foot valve sends air from the tanks to the brake chambers, which push the rods that apply the brakes.

    • AYou can follow more closely
    • BFollowing distance does not matter
    • CYou should brake later
    • DYou need more space ahead than a car does
    أظهر الإجابة

13. السؤال 13 من 25

    What does the safety valve do?

    • AApplies the brakes when you go too fast
    • BReleases air if tank pressure gets too high
    • CRemoves water and oil from the tanks
    • DStops the engine if the air gets too hot
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Releases air if tank pressure gets too high

    The safety valve protects the tanks from too much pressure by letting air out.

14. السؤال 14 من 25

    What is the main safety feature of spring brakes?

    • AThey only work at high speed on highways
    • BThey apply automatically if air pressure is lost
    • CThey replace the service brakes when driving
    • DThey need extra air pressure to apply
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. They apply automatically if air pressure is lost

    Air holds spring brakes off. If pressure is lost, the springs apply the brakes.

    The park control valve should pop out between 20 and 45 psi, applying the spring brakes.

17. السؤال 17 من 25

    In the applied leakage check, what is the most a tractor with one trailer may lose in 2 minutes under the guide's figures?

    • A12 psi
    • B2 psi
    • C4 psi
    • D6 psi
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. 6 psi

    The guide allows 4 psi for the power unit plus 2 psi for each trailer, so 6 psi for a tractor and one trailer.
