AIR BRAKES PRACTICE TEST - OKLAHOMA

6. To check that spring brakes come on automatically, the first thing to do is to:
continue to step on and off the brake pedal until the air pressure falls to the manufacturer’s specification.
turn off the engine, release the parking brake and time the air pressure drop.
release the parking brake, move the vehicle forward slowly, and apply the brakes firmly.
7. What is an important thing to remember about emergency braking?
Pushing down on the brake pedal as hard as you can will only keep the wheels locked up and cause a skid.
You should never use stab braking.
Your natural response (hitting the brakes) is never the right solution.
8. The tractor protection valve:
provides the air supply for the brake system.
will close automatically if the air pressure drops to a certain level.
All of the above.
9. If the air tanks are not drained:
the air pressure in the tanks is reduced.
the water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
your speed must be reduced to 5 MPH below your “safe” speed.
