14 / 30

What do front wheel-limiting valves do?

Stop air flow to the front brakes

Minimize the air pressure to the rear brakes so the front brakes get more

Yes

Yes, but only within city limits

16 / 30

What is referred to as pushrod stroke length?

18 / 30

Which statement is false? Compressed air leaving the vehicle travels at a very high speed and will carry...

Dirt

Metal fragments

Oil

Moisture

19 / 30

When you press the brake pedal, compressed air fills the service brake chamber, causing the diaphragm to move and pushes out what to apply the brakes?

A pushrod

None of the above

A bushing

A valve

20 / 30

The pushrod stroke is dependent on what?

The pressure of the compressed air that enters the brake chamber

The manufacturer's design

55 psi

35 psi

65 psi

45 psi

23 / 30

Which statement is false? The length of pushrod stroke can be measured and compared to the prescribed adjustment limits for the following...

That size of brake chamber

The material the brake chamber is made of

The style of brake chamber

24 / 30

Safety valves normally open at what psi?

Natural force

The spring inside the chamber

A pulley

26 / 30

What contains the brake drum or disc?

The brake assembly

The slack adjusters

The shoes

The hubs

27 / 30

Your score is

The practice exam will help you become accustomed to the format of the actual test and provide insight into the types of questions that may be presented. It is crucial to understand that the air brake exam is tailored for operators of vehicles that have air brakes; therefore, if you do not belong to this group, you might need to take a different type of examination. The practice exam is available online and can be taken multiple times, allowing you to identify areas where you can improve. Achieving a score of at least 80% on the practice exam is essential before you attempt the real test. In conclusion, completing the Ontario air brake practice test is a crucial step toward obtaining your air brake endorsement and promoting safe driving habits.
