AIR BRAKES PRACTICE TEST - ALASKA

16. To test the service brake:
gently try to pull forward with the trailer parking brake on, then release the brake.
shift your transmission to a low gear, pump the brake pedal three times, then hold it down for five seconds.
push the brake pedal firmly while going about 5 mph.
17. Front-end header boards:
should never be used.
protect drivers from cargo in case of an accident or emergency stop.
protect drivers from spilled cargo.
18. An anti-lock braking system (ABS):
helps you avoid skids caused by over braking.
helps you avoid wheel lock up.
All of the above.
19. The stop light switch:
turns on the brake lights when you put on the air brakes.
warns you when the air supply pressure drops below 55 psi.
tells you when you need to use your parking brake instead of the service brake.
20. If the low pressure warning signal doesn't work:
this could cause sudden emergency braking in a single-circuit air system.
you could lose air pressure and you would know it.
None of the above.
