20 psi
2
excessive heat caused by using your brakes too often can cause the
brakes to fade or fail
3
if air pressure does not build up to normal whitin the correct amount of time, then
your air pressure may drop too low during driving, requiring an emergency stop
4
if your truck has a dual air system and one of the systems is low on pressure
either the front or rear brakes will not be fully operational
5
in air brake vehicles, the parking brakes should be used
any time the vehicle is parked
6
the braking power of the spring brakes
depend on the service brakes being in adjustment
7

60 psi
8
the use of air brakes on a long/or steep downgrade under normal conditions is only a supplement to
the braking effect of the engine
9

when air is pumped into the air tanks
10
the parking or emergency brake on a heavy vehicle can only be held in position by something that cannot leak away, like
spring pressure
11
the brake pedal in an air brake system
controls the air pressure applied to put on the brakes
12
if you make an emergency stop, brake so you
can steer and your vehicle stays in a straight line
13
a supply pressure gauge tells you how much air is in the
air tanks
14
under normal conditions, in order to engage the parking brakes the driver must firts
let the air out of the air brake system
15
for air brake systems in good condition, the air compressor should start pumping at about

never
17
under ideal conditions, a truck with air brakes going 55 miles per hour would requiere a stopping distance of

35 mph
20
a slack adjuster probably needs to be adjusted if it moves more than about

21
during normal driving, spring brakes are usually held back by
air pressure
22
emergency stab braking is when you
brake as hard as you can, release the brakes when lock, put on the brakes again when the wheels start rolling
23
how should you check that the spring brakes come on when air pressure in the system drops below certain level
Park on level ground, chock the wheels, release the parking brake when you have enough air pressure, shut the engine off and repeatedly press release the brake pedal
24
excessive use of the service brakes results in over-heating, which can lead to
expansion of the brake drums
25
the most important thing to do when a low air pressure warning comes on is
stop and safely park as soon as possible
26

stop right away and safely park. continue only after the system is fixed
29
your vehicle has a dual air brake system. If a low pressure warning comes on for the secondary system, you should
bring the vehicle to a safe stop and continue only when the system is fixed
30
the S-Cam
forces the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum
31
the brake system that applies and release the brakes when the driver uses the brake pedal is the
service brake system
32
the application pressure gauge shows how much air pressure you
are applying to the brakes
