10 / 30

When oil is found in any other air tank other than the wet tank, what is the problem?

None of the above

Aggressively applying engine power to move the vehicle forward or backward

16 / 30

Which is not a step for testing the automatic application of the trailer spring brakes?

Listen for air exhausting, indicating application of the trailer's spring brakes

Ensure the air brake system is below its normal operating pressure range

Or the driver is fined

Before the next inspection

Before the vehicle can be operating again

Or the owner is fined

18 / 30

Why do brake-stroke indicators include external reference points?

To provide an audible indication of the applied pushrod stroke

To provide a physical block to shorten the stroke

To allow the pushrod to extend

To provide a visual indication of the applied pushrod stroke

19 / 30

When testing system air-loss for a tractor and trailer, what is the maximum allowable air loss?

6 psi per minute

5 psi per minute

3 psi per minute

4 psi per minute

20 / 30

Opening the trailer supply valve to fully charge the trailer, then pull out the trailer supply valve to close I so the trailer spring brakes should apply. What else does this?

Disconnecting the trailer discharge line

Nothing

Disconnecting the trailer emergency line

Disconnecting the trailer air-supply line

21 / 30

Is discharging a significant quantity of moisture from the remaining air tanks, other than the supply tank normal?

Only from the secondary tank

Yes

None of the above

22 / 30

When testing system air-loss for a tractor and two or more trailers, what is the maximum allowable air loss?

3 psi per minute

6 psi per minute

4 psi per minute

5 psi per minute
