7 . The ____ tells a driver how much pressure is in the air tanks.

Drum brake A vehicle that is equipped with air brakes must also be equipped with a supply pressure gauge. This gauge tells the driver how much air pressure is in each of the vehicle's air tanks.

8 . To use the stab braking method, you should:

Apply the emergency brake until the vehicle starts to slow. The stab braking method for emergency stops involves fully applying the brakes until they lock up. The brakes are then released until the wheels start rolling, and then the process is repeated.

9 . 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.

10 . If one air system in a dual air brake system is very low on pressure:

Lights on the outside of the tractor will flash. In a dual air brake system, if one of the air systems gets very low on pressure, either the front or rear brakes will not be operating fully. You should bring your vehicle to a safe stop and have the air system repaired.

11 . When traveling down a steep downgrade, the best way to use your brakes is to:

Apply consistent pressure to the brake pedal all the way down the hill. On a long or steep downgrade, brakes should only be used to supplement the braking effect of the engine. Apply the brakes just enough to feel a definite slowing down, then release them once you are about 5 mph below your target "safe" speed. Once your vehicle reaches its safe speed again, repeat this process.

12 . To make a stop in a vehicle using air brakes, the driver should:

Pull out the brake knob. To make a normal stop in an air-braked vehicle, push the brake pedal down and control the pressure so that the vehicle comes to a smooth, safe stop.
