Fråga 7 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: 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.
Fråga 8 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: 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.

Fråga 10 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: 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.
Fråga 11 av 25

- A letter from your employer or school
- Your truck's registration and insurance
- Your Notice of Air Brake Program Completion

Svar: C. Your Notice of Air Brake Program Completion
Bring the Notice you received after passing the practical assessment.
Fråga 12 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: D. You need more space ahead than a car does
Air brake lag adds to your stopping distance, so leave a bigger gap.
Fråga 13 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: B. Releases air if tank pressure gets too high
The safety valve protects the tanks from too much pressure by letting air out.
Fråga 14 av 25
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
Visa svar
Svar: B. They apply automatically if air pressure is lost
Air holds spring brakes off. If pressure is lost, the springs apply the brakes.
Fråga 15 av 25
What is the best way to check whether a brake is out of adjustment?

Fråga 20 av 25
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

Visa svar
Svar: A. Pumping wastes air and lowers system pressure
Apply steady pressure and ease off as you slow. Pumping uses up air.
