19 . During an applied leakage test, the maximum leakage rate for a double combination vehicle is:
4 psi in a minute.
It is important to know the maximum air loss rate that is safe for your specific vehicle. A double combination vehicle should have a leakage rate no higher than 4 psi in a minute during an applied leakage test.
20 . What happens if the air pressure in a system's air tanks falls below 60 psi?
The vehicle should stop.
In an air brake system, a low pressure warning signal should activate if the pressure in the air tanks falls to a level below 60 psi. This signal may be in the form of a warning light or a wig wag.
21 . To stop in a vehicle that uses air brakes, the driver should:
Pull the brake pedal up.
To make a normal stop in a vehicle with air brakes, push the brake pedal down. The harder the pedal is pressed, the more air pressure is released.
22 . What does the air compressor governor do?
Controls the temperature of the air leaving the air storage tanks.
In an air brake system, the air compressor governor controls when the air compressor pumps air into the air storage tanks.
23 . During an applied leakage test, the maximum leakage rate for a triple combination vehicle is:
4 psi in a minute.
It is important to know the maximum air loss rate that is safe for your specific vehicle. A triple combination should have a leakage rate no higher than 6 psi in a minute during an applied leakage test.
24 . When the brake pedal is pushed down, air brakes work:
Only if it is warm outside.
Because air takes time to flow through the air lines to the brakes, air brakes cannot begin working instantly. There is often a brake lag of at least one-half of a second between the moment the brake pedal is pressed and the moment the brakes begin to work.
25 . When inspecting your brakes, a slack adjuster should move ____ from where it is attached to the push rod.
No more than one inch
