Operation & Safety第 55 / 60 题
When stopping normally with a vehicle equipped with air brakes, how should you apply the brakes?
a.Apply steady, controlled pressure without letting the wheels lock
b.Slam the pedal to the floor immediately
c.Pump the pedal rapidly the entire stop
d.Use only the trailer hand valve
解析
For a normal stop, push the brake pedal down with controlled, steady pressure to slow smoothly without locking the wheels. Locked wheels can cause a skid and loss of control, especially on vehicles without anti-lock brakes. Smooth, firm application gives the best control.
