1.
Your truck has a dual air system. If either system is very low on pressure:
|
the low pressure warning signal will stop working.
|
|
|
either the front or the rear brake will not be fully operational.
|
|
|
the tractor protection valve will not work properly.
|
|
|
the ABS will not work properly.
|
2.
If your vehicle is equipped with a front brake limiting valve, to ensure normal stopping power make sure the control is:
|
in the "neutral" position.
|
|
|
in the "normal" position.
|
|
|
in the "off" position.
|
|
|
in the "slippery" position.
|
3.
Why must air tanks be drained?
|
There might not be enough antifreeze in the system.
|
|
|
Your transmission fluid may drain out.
|
|
|
The alcohol evaporator might stop working.
|
|
|
The water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
|
4.
The s-cam forces the brake shoes away from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum. It is called the s-cam because:
|
it is shaped like the letter "S".
|
|
|
it is a safe-driving brake.
|
|
|
"S" stands for "Shoes".
|
|
|
it applies a "Shock" to the brakes.
|
5.
An Anti-lock Braking System (ABS):
|
increases your normal braking capability.
|
|
|
always shortens your stopping distance.
|
|
|
lets you drive faster.
|
|
|
keeps your wheels from locking up when you brake hard.
|
6.
Most hydraulic brake failures occur for one of two reasons, one of which is:
|
excessive downshifting.
|
|
|
relying too much on the engine braking effect.
|
|
|
driving in cold weather.
|
|
|
loss of hydraulic pressure.
|
7.
The trailer hand valve should:
|
never be used for parking.
|
|
|
be used in driving.
|
|
|
never be used to test the trailer brakes.
|
|
|
All of the above.
|
8.
When you release the brake pedal, the _____ rotates back and a spring pulls the brake shoes away from the drum.
|
hydraulic brake system
|
|
|
air compressor belt
|
|
|
S-cam
|
|
|
pressure gauge
|
9.
You should check air pressure and temperature gauges:
|
at the beginning of each trip.
|
|
|
as often as is practical.
|
|
|
at the end of each trip.
|
|
|
every time you stop.
|
10.
What is an important thing to remember about emergency braking?
|
Your natural response (hitting the brakes) is never the right solution.
|
|
|
You should never use stab braking.
|
|
|
The more heavily loaded semitrailer trailer should be in the rear.
|
|
|
Pushing down on the brake pedal as hard as you can will only keep the wheels locked up and cause a skid.
