9 . During a static leakage test, the maximum leakage rate for a single vehicle with air brakes is ____ in one minute.

4 psi When performing a static leakage test on a single vehicle with air brakes, the leakage rate should be no more than 2 psi in a minute. If air leaks from the air brake system at a quicker rate, the vehicle should not be driven because something likely needs to be repaired.

12 . To ensure normal stopping power, drivers of vehicles equipped with a front brake limiting valve should:

Keep the control at the halfway mark. Some pre-1975 vehicles have a front brake limiting valve, which has "normal" and "slippery" settings. The idea behind these valves was to limit the air pressure available to the front brakes when driving on slippery surfaces, and thereby reduce the danger of a front-wheel skid. Studies have found that this is not actually a concern, so if your vehicle has a front brake limiting valve, leave it in the "normal" position.
