Air-tank drain valves when tanks are being drained

On or near the supply tanks

Air-dryer exhaust port

Exhaust ports of brake valves

19 / 30

Moisture and oil must be drained from the tanks how often?

Daily

Weekly

Every 72 hours

Every 48 hours

20 / 30

When air pressure in either the primary or secondary tank falls below the minimum amount required to bring the vehicle to a safe stop, what warns the driver?

A warning device on the instrument panel will alert the driver

A buzzer sounds from the axles

A light flashes on the outside of the vehicle

Nothing happens

21 / 30

What is another name for the primary and secondary tank?

Dry reservoir

Push tank

Second tank

First tank

22 / 30

When air flows out of the supply tank, what stops it from returning to that tank?

A trap valve

A stopper valve

One-way check valves

A plug valve

23 / 30

Where are the air tanks usually located?

Next to the cab

None of the above

Under or around the frame of the vehicle

24 / 30

Cut-out pressure is normally how much above the cut-in pressure?

30 to 35 psi

20 to 25 psi

10 to 15 psi

5 to 10 psi

25 / 30

Which are not some of the problems that can occur from the wet tank?

Too much moisture and oil collecting in the air tanks can reduce the volume of air and may cause brake failure

The mixture of moisture and oil can become corrosive and damage the air tank and other system components

The collected moisture and oil mixture can form a sludge that can pass from the tank into other components of the air brake system

Moisture in the brake system remains warm and stops freezing in cold temperatures

26 / 30
