43 . The air pressure in a dual air brake system should build from 85 to 100 psi within:
45 seconds.
When inspecting a vehicle with a dual air brake system, you should wait for air pressure to build from 85 to 100 psi in both the primary and secondary systems. This should take about 45 seconds.
44 . When making a tight maneuver, you should:
Rely only on your mirrors.
Make a point of checking your mirrors often when making tight maneuvers.
45 . Which of the following is not a type of retarder?
Electric
Retarders are mechanisms in some vehicles that help slow a vehicle and reduce the need for braking. The four basic types of retarders are exhaust, engine, hydraulic, and electric.
46 . For safety purposes, when should you turn off a retarder?
When driving in heavy traffic
Retarders are mechanisms in some vehicles that help slow a vehicle and reduce the need for braking. However, using a retarder may cause wheels to skid when they have poor traction. Turn off retarders when traveling under wet, snowy, or icy conditions.
47 . What can happen if the air pressure gets too low in an air brake system?
The brakes will be very sensitive.
Pressing and releasing the brake pedal unnecessarily can let air out faster than the compressor can replace it, reducing the available air pressure. If the air pressure in an air brake system gets too low, the brakes will no longer work.
48 . When driving down a steep grade, your brakes may fade. What happens if brakes fade?
They work differently from front to back.
If you use your brakes too much when traveling on a steep downgrade, they may overheat and become less effective. To avoid causing your brakes to overheat on a steep hill, you should rely on engine braking.
49 . When approaching a railroad crossing, you should:
Never try to outdrive an approaching train.
