12 / 30

What do front wheel-limiting valves do?

13 / 30

When are spring brakes designed to work?

At highways speeds

When you are parking your vehicle or in an emergency when your service brakes fail

Only on icy road conditions

When going downhill

14 / 30

Between 70-80 psi

15 / 30

Who can perform re-adjustments on automatic slack adjusters?

Anyone in the yard

Only certified technicians

The driver

17 / 30

What should drivers do if they encounter a disabled spring brake chamber?

Have the vehicle inspected and repaired immediately

Drive with hazard lights on

Avoid driving on highways

Travel to short destinations, no further than 160 km

18 / 30

How can a technician manually compress or 'cage' the spring in a spring brake chamber?

Using a compressing bolt

Using a caging bolt

Using a spring bolt

None of the above

19 / 30

What happens when a spring brake chamber has been disabled?

The emergency brake will apply, but not the parking brake

The parking brake will apply, but not the emergency brake

All brakes will not apply

The parking and emergency brake will not apply

20 / 30

What happens when stroke exceeds the adjustment limits of a brake chamber?

The drop in brake force can be significant

Nothing of consequence happens

The drums crack

Brake force increases

21 / 30

Almost all commercial vehicles use a type of brake chamber that is held together by what?

S-shafts

A clamp assembly

Bolts

Diaphragms

22 / 30

What is the level called that helps link the brake chamber to the brake assembly?

Pushrod

None of the above

Clevis pin

Slack adjuster

23 / 30

Disabled or caged spring brake chambers can be recognized how?

By the protrusion of the caging bolt or other similar mechanism

By the retractable caging bolt

By the missing caging bolt

You can't

24 / 30

How do you supply air to a spring brake control valve with most vehicles?

Pulled

Moved left

Moved right

Pushed

25 / 30

What happens when you press the brake pedal and compressed air fills the service brake chamber?

It fills up the reservoirs with compressed air

None of the above

It fills up the lines and hoses with compressed air

It causes the diaphragm to move and push out the pushrod to apply the brakes

26 / 30

Pushrod stroke is produced by what?

Pressure applied to the foot valve

Compressed air entering the brake chamber

Manually adjusting the slack adjuster

The governor

27 / 30

Which of the following does a service brake chamber not contain?
