Do not push or tow a disabled bus unless getting off is unsafe. Only push or tow the bus to the nearest safe area to unload passengers
All of the above
The emergency brake system
The foot brake system
The S-CAM brake system
The drum brake system
It controls the speed of the air compressor
It controls the brake chambers release pressure
It controls the air pressure applied to the breaks
It controls when air is pumped into the brakes
The low boiling point of the water reduces braking power
Water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure
Water cools the compressor too much
To keep from fouling the air compressor oil
To rid the wet tank of alcohol that condenses and sits at the bottom
To eliminate the need for daily tank drainage.
To boost the tank pressure the same way that super charges boost engines
To reduce the risk of ice in the air brake valves in cold weather
Change the alcohol from a new bottle
Clean the air filter with alcohol
Check the oil for alcohol content
Check and fill the alcohol level
Controls the speed of the air compressor
Always needs to be held down halfway during normal driving
Controls the air pressure applied to put on the brakes
Is connected to slack adjusters by a series of rods and linkages
At least one brake heater
A hydraulic system in case the air system fails
A supply pressure gauge
An air use guage
It shows you how much air you've used during this trip
It shows how much pressure you have in the air tanks
It shows how much pressure you are applying to the brakes
None of the above
40 PSI
50 PSI
60 PSI
80 PSI
Fluid pressure
Spring pressure
Air pressure
All of the above
Bolts
Air pressure
Spring pressure
Centrifugal force
Is not affecteb by the condition of the service brakes
Can only be tested by highly trained brake service people
Depends on the service brakes being in adjustment
Increases when the service brakes are hot
To release the spring emergency parking brakes to move a short distance
To apply more brake pressure if the main tank is getting low
To stay parked twice as long with your service air pressure
To balance the service brake system whenever you are parked
Stop and safely park as soon as possible.
Shift to the next higher gear
Adjust the brake pedal for more travel
Open the air supply control valve
Bring the vehicle to a safe stop and continue only when the system
Reduce your speed and test the remaining system while under Xray
Reduce your speed and drive to the nearest garage for repairs
Continue at a normal speed if only the secondary system fails
On level ground with a parking brake, then apply the service brake
Park on a level ground, chalk the wheels and turn off the parking brakes
Park on level ground and drain off air pressure before adjusting
Park on a slight grade, release the parking brake, apply the service brake and check for vehicle movement
1 PSI per minute
2 PSI per minute
3 PSI per minute
4 PSI per minute
The vehicle pulls to one side
An unusual feel
A delayed stopping
None of the above
You brake so you can steer hard while braking hard
You brake using the full power of the brakes and lock them.
You brake so you can steer and your vehicle stays in a straight line
You brake so that you use the hard brakes first
Press hard on the brake pedal and apply full hand valves until you stop
Apply hand valves for one second then push hard on the pedal
Use light steady pressure on the brake pedal
Brake as hard as you can release the brakes when the wheels lock, put on the brakes again when the wheels start rolling
Air brakes use different brake drums
Air takes more time to flow through the lines than hydraulic fluid
Brakes require heavier return springs
Air is always leaking through air line fittings
You have to push harder on the brake pedal to control your speed
The brake pedal feels spongy when pressure is applied
Pressure on the brake pedal is released and speed increases
Less pressure is needed on the brake pedal for each stop
