19 . Failing to drain the tanks in an air brake system can result in:
Too much fuel being carried.
In an air brake system, the air storage tanks must be drained to remove accumulated water and compressor oil. Failing to do this can cause damage. For example, water that has built up in the system could freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
20 . If the air pressure warning light comes on, you should:
Safely exit the roadway and stop.
If the air pressure warning light or buzzer comes on while you are driving, you should immediately stop and safely park the vehicle. This warning signal indicates that there is a problem in the air brake system that needs to be fixed.
21 . Brake fading is caused when:
Brakes are wet.
Using the brakes excessively will cause them to overheat, making them less effective. This is referred to as "fading."
22 . 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.
