Pytanie 8 z 35
Why should you not pump air brakes during a normal stop?
- Pumping wastes air and lowers system pressure
- It is the only way to stop
- It locks the steering
- It makes the brakes too hot to touch
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. Pumping wastes air and lowers system pressure
Apply steady pressure and ease off as you slow. Pumping uses up air.
Pytanie 9 z 35
You are about to descend a hill and the air pressure is dropping abnormally. What should you do?
- Do not go down the hill until the problem is fixed
- Go down quickly before the pressure is gone
- Shift to neutral and coast down slowly
- Use only the trailer hand valve on the way down
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. Do not go down the hill until the problem is fixed
Test your brakes before descending, and do not proceed if air pressure drops abnormally.
Pytanie 10 z 35
Why should you not hold a combination on a hill with only the trailer hand valve?
- It drains the fuel tank and stalls the engine
- It is the safest way to hold a combination
- It turns off the trailer lights and the horn
- The trailer brakes can leak off, and using them alone risks a jackknife
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. The trailer brakes can leak off, and using them alone risks a jackknife
Do not rely on the trailer hand valve alone. Use the spring brakes to park.
Pytanie 11 z 35
This diagram shows an air brake system. What drives the air compressor?
- The engine
- The brake pedal
- The trailer wheels
- A hand pump
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. The engine
The compressor is driven by the engine and pumps air into the storage tanks.
Pytanie 12 z 35
Which part tells the compressor when to start and stop pumping air?
- The foot valve
- The governor
- The slack adjuster
- The brake drum
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. The governor
The governor senses tank pressure and controls the compressor's cut-in and cut-out.
Pytanie 13 z 35
Why do air tanks have drain valves?
- To check the tire pressure at each wheel
- To release the parking brakes by hand
- To let fresh air into the tanks
- To remove water and oil that collect in the tanks
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. To remove water and oil that collect in the tanks
Compressed air leaves water and oil in the tanks. Drain them so they do not freeze or damage valves.
Pytanie 14 z 35
What happens when you press the brake pedal (foot valve) in an air brake system?
- Air is sent to the brake chambers, which apply the brakes
- The spring brakes release so the wheels can turn
- The compressor stops and the tanks are sealed
- Air is released from the tires to slow the wheels
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: 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.
Pytanie 15 z 35
What does the slack adjuster do?
- It dries the air before it reaches the tanks
- It turns the brake camshaft when the push rod moves
- It measures the air pressure in the tanks
- It holds the trailer to the tractor
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. It turns the brake camshaft when the push rod moves
The push rod moves the slack adjuster, which turns the camshaft and forces the shoes against the drum.
Pytanie 16 z 35
In an S-cam brake, what forces the brake shoes against the drum?
- A hydraulic cylinder
- Magnets
- The driver's leg strength
- The S-shaped cam turning
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. The S-shaped cam turning
When the camshaft turns, the S-cam spreads the shoes against the drum.
Pytanie 17 z 35
What does the safety valve do?
- Applies the brakes when you go too fast
- Releases air if tank pressure gets too high
- Removes water and oil from the tanks
- Stops the engine if the air gets too hot
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. Releases air if tank pressure gets too high
The safety valve protects the tanks from too much pressure by letting air out.
Pytanie 18 z 35
What is the main safety feature of spring brakes?
- They only work at high speed on highways
- They apply automatically if air pressure is lost
- They replace the service brakes when driving
- They need extra air pressure to apply
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. They apply automatically if air pressure is lost
Air holds spring brakes off. If pressure is lost, the springs apply the brakes.
Pytanie 19 z 35
How should you park an air-brake vehicle?
- Apply the spring (parking) brakes
- Put a brick on the brake pedal
- Hold the service brakes with the trailer hand valve
- Leave it in gear only
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. Apply the spring (parking) brakes
Use the spring brakes to park. Service brakes rely on air, which can leak away.
Pytanie 20 z 35
What is the advantage of a dual air brake system?
- If one circuit fails, the other can still stop you
- It never needs a pre-trip inspection
- It lets you drive at a higher top speed
- It does not need an air compressor
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. If one circuit fails, the other can still stop you
A dual system has two separate circuits, so a failure in one still leaves braking from the other.
Pytanie 21 z 35
Which colour is usually used for the emergency (supply) air line between tractor and trailer?
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- Green
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. Red
The emergency or supply line is usually red and the service line is blue.
Pytanie 22 z 35
What does the tractor protection valve do?
- Controls the headlights and trailer lights
- Protects the tractor's air if the trailer lines break
- Locks the fifth wheel jaws around the kingpin
- Measures the trailer's weight on each axle
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. Protects the tractor's air if the trailer lines break
It closes off the trailer lines so the tractor keeps its air if the trailer breaks away.
Pytanie 23 z 35
What does a low air pressure warning tell you?
- The compressor is working normally
- The air tanks are completely full
- Pressure is dropping and you are losing braking ability
- The tires need more air in them
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: C. Pressure is dropping and you are losing braking ability
The warning means pressure is low. Stop safely and find the cause before the spring brakes apply.
Pytanie 24 z 35
What happens to stopping distance when you double your speed?
- It becomes about half as long
- It about doubles
- It stays about the same
- It becomes about four times as long
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. It becomes about four times as long
Stopping distance grows with the square of speed, so doubling speed makes it about four times as long.
Pytanie 25 z 35
Your brakes get very hot on a long hill and stop working as well. What is this called?
- Brake creep
- Brake fade
- Brake lock
- Brake lag
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: B. Brake fade
Overheated brakes lose effectiveness. Use a low gear and engine braking on long grades.
Pytanie 26 z 35
What is the best way to check whether a brake is out of adjustment?
- Feel the tire temperature after a trip
- Look at the paint on the brake drum
- Listen to the brake while driving slowly
- Measure the push rod stroke with the brakes applied
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. Measure the push rod stroke with the brakes applied
Brake adjustment is checked by measuring push rod stroke with a full brake application.
Pytanie 27 z 35
Why is moisture in the air system a problem?
- It makes the brakes grab too strongly
- It cools the compressor too much in summer
- It can freeze and block lines and valves
- It is not a problem in a modern system
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: C. It can freeze and block lines and valves
Water can freeze and stop valves or lines from working. Drain tanks and use the air dryer.
Pytanie 28 z 35
Brake lag means the brakes on an air-brake vehicle take time to apply. What does this mean for following distance?
- You can follow more closely
- Following distance does not matter
- You should brake later
- You need more space ahead than a car does
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: D. You need more space ahead than a car does
Air brake lag adds to your stopping distance, so leave a bigger gap.
Pytanie 29 z 35
Your spring brakes apply suddenly while you are driving. What is the most likely cause?
- A serious loss of air pressure
- The trailer is empty and light
- The engine is still too cold
- The governor has cut out normally
Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. A serious loss of air pressure
Spring brakes come on when system pressure drops too low.
Pytanie 30 z 35
Before starting the air brake test, how should the vehicle be secured?
