None of these

It vents air out of the air hoses connected to the trailer's brake system

10 / 30

What is referred to as the relay emergency valve?

None of these

A valve located on or near the trailer reservoir on a trailer without spring brakes

11 / 30

What happens during bobtail proportioning relay valve operation?

13 / 30

Rupture of the compressor discharge line results in what?

Loss of pressure from the secondary reservoir

Loss of pressure from the supply reservoir

All of these

14 / 30

How do you control the trailer brakes independently?

By pushing only the trailer air supply valve in

By slightly pressing on the foot valve

By turning the hand valve clockwise

By pulling only the trailer air supply valve out

15 / 30

Drivers can check the operation of the relay emergency valve by doing what?

Turning the switch to neutral with the supply valve in the open position

Turning the switch to off with service brake the supply valve in the open position

Closing the supply valve on the tractor or by disconnecting the supply line between the tractor and trailer with the supply valve in the open position

Turning the switch to regular with the supply valve in the closed position

16 / 30

What does disconnecting the supply line between the tractor and trailer with the supply valve in the open position do for the driver?

Allows them to check the operation of the trailer spring-brake valve

It causes a complete brake fade

It does nothing for them

It bleeds the brakes

17 / 30

Where is the relay emergency valve mounted?

Next to a spring brake chamber

Anywhere accessible on the trailer

On the trailer reservoir

On the rear axle

18 / 30

What is a bobtail proportioning relay valve?

Similar to a one-way valve but housed in a separate housing

A combination of two individual valves in a single housing

None of these

2 two-way check valves housed together

19 / 30

Rupture of the service line will result in the escape of air pressure if...

The supply tanks has compressed air

Anytime the foot valve is pressed

The one-way valve is open

The brake application is held long enough to cause enough loss of pressure in the tractor system

20 / 30

Loss of pressure in the supply line also causes the trailer-supply valve to do what?

Shift to the emergency position

Remain in the neutral position

Automatically shift to the open position

Automatically shift to the closed position

21 / 30

Control pressure causes the relay emergency valve to direct reservoir air from...

The trailer tank to the trailer-brake chambers

The tractor tanks to the trailer-brake chambers

The foot valve to the trailer tanks

The tractor tank to the trailer tank

22 / 30

Depending on the type of tractor protection system used, air loss from the tractor will stop immediately or it will bleed down to a minimum of...

10 psi

40 psi

30 psi

20 psi

23 / 30

Which statement is false? The trailer spring-brake valve is responsible for the following important functions...

The driver will need to manually apply the spring brakes if supply pressure is rapidly lost

It controls application and release of the trailer's spring brakes

It protects and isolates the front-service reservoir from the rear-service reservoir. This is an important feature that prevents an automatic application of the spring-brakes, even though the trailer's service reservoir is lost

It prevents automatic spring-brake application if the trailer's supply line has a gradual leak

24 / 30

Which of the following are not components of the spring-brake trailer air system?
