|
|
|
Air filter
|
|
|
Alcohol evaporator
|
2.
Passive railroad crossings:
|
have at least one traffic control device.
|
|
|
should never be crossed using a CMV.
|
|
|
do not have traffic control devices.
|
|
|
usually have a person directing traffic.
|
3.
Why must air tanks be drained?
|
There might not be enough antifreeze in the system.
|
|
|
Your transmission fluid may drain out.
|
|
|
The water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
|
|
|
The alcohol evaporator might stop working.
|
4.
If you are being tailgated, you should:
|
flash your brake lights.
|
|
|
increase your following distance.
|
|
|
speed up.
|
|
|
move to the left lane.
|
5.
The alcohol evaporator:
|
eliminates the need for daily air tank drainage.
|
|
|
shows how much air pressure you are applying to the brakes.
|
|
|
ensures the coolant temperature gauge remains in the normal range.
|
|
|
helps to reduce the risk of ice in air brake valves and other parts in cold weather.
|
6.
Under a pressurized system, the radiator cap:
|
should always be cool.
|
|
|
should never be removed until the system has cooled.
|
|
|
should never be hot.
|
|
|
should be removed when the coolant is hot.
|
7.
The space under a heavily loaded vehicle can be very small. This can cause problems:
|
on unpaved yards.
|
|
|
when crossing railroad tracks.
|
|
|
on dirt roads.
|
|
|
All of the above.
|
8.
Before driving a vehicle with a dual air brake system, you should allow time for the air compressor to build up a minimum of ____ pressure in both the primary and secondary systems.
|
50 psi
|
|
|
150 psi
|
|
|
35 psi
|
|
|
100 psi
|
9.
The wig wag is:
|
a low air pressure warning system.
|
|
|
a noise reduction mechanism.
|
|
|
when your tires might grab unexpectedly and you lose control of your vehicle.
|
|
|
a type of rollover.
|
10.
Spring brakes:
|
will come fully on when air pressure drops to a certain range, typically 20 to 30 psi.
|
|
|
will apply the brakes when a leak in the air brake system causes all the air to be lost.
|
|
|
are usually held back by air pressure.
|
|
|
All of the above.
