TN CDL AIR BRAKES PRACTICE TEST

6. Slack adjusters:
are used to adjust the brakes on an air-brake system.
are the linkage between the operating rod in the brake chamber and drum brakes or disk brakes in an air brake system.
regulate the distance that the air brake has to travel to apply friction to the wheel.
All of the above.
7. If you must make an emergency stop, you should:
apply the brakes as hard as you can to lock them.
use the hand brake before the brake pedal.
brake in a way that will keep your vehicle in a straight line.
None of the above.
8. Some air brake systems have an alcohol evaporator. Checking the alcohol container and filling it up as necessary:
helps keep the engine cool, as well as lubricating it.
reduces the risk of ice in air brake valves during cold weather.
helps you avoid wheel lock up.
reduces the risk of having an accident due to drowsy driving.
9. Pressing and releasing the brake pedal unnecessarily can:
let air out faster than the compressor can replace it.
causes friction, which slows the vehicle.
causes all the air to be lost.
apply more air pressure.
10. Weight that is loaded so there is a high center of gravity:
reduces the chance that the load will shift to the side or fall off.
causes greater chance of rollover.
makes a vehicle easier to handle.
All of the above.
