AIR BRAKES PRACTICE TEST - OREGON

11. Before starting down a hill, you should slow down and shift down:
to a gear that will cause your engine to exceed its redline.
to a speed that you can control without using the brakes hard.
to a gear that will cause your brakes to overheat.
so you can coast downhill.
12. If the low pressure warning signal doesn't work:
in dual systems the stopping distance will be decreased.
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.
13. The tractor protection valve:
provides the air supply for the brake system.
will close if you apply the parking brakes.
will close automatically if the air pressure drops to a certain level.
All of the above.
14. To test the air leakage rate, with a fully-charged air system you should ____________ and time the air pressure drop.
turn off the engine, release the parking brake
check the air compressor's drive belt, chock the wheels
put alcohol into the air system, run the engine at a fast idle
release the parking brake, leave the engine running
15. Perception Distance + Reaction Distance + Brake Lag Distance + Braking Distance = ?
Stopping Distance - (minus) Brake Fade Distance
Partial Stopping Distance
Total Stopping Distance
Total Air Pressure
