Verified Answers| Grade A
Stopping distance - ANSWERThe distance it takes for you to recognize the hazard,
process the need to stop, apply the brakes, and come to a complete stop.
Reaction distance - ANSWERThe distance the fire apparatus ravels after you
recognize the hazard, remove your foot from the accelerator, and apply the brakes.
Braking distance - ANSWERThe distance the fire apparatus travels from the time that
the brakes are activated until the fire apparatus makes a complete stop.
Ungaurded railroad crossing - ANSWERCome to a complete stop, turn off sirens and
roll down windows; operate apparatus on idle, and listen for the sound of an
oncoming train
Intersections with railroad crossbars - ANSWERNever proceed between the crossbars
in an attempt to continue the response
Fuel guage - ANSWERFuel tanks should never drop below the halfway level
Voltmeter - ANSWERMeasures the voltage across the battery terminals and gives an
indication of the electrical condition of the battery
Air brake test - ANSWERTurn apparatus on, allow air compressor to build up to 110
PSI, shut off engine but leave battery in on position, step on and off brake pedal. An
audible alarm should signal before pressure drops to less than 60 PSI.
Confined space turnaround maneuver - ANSWEREstablish a 50x12 ft lane; driver
enters area and turns the apparatus 180 degrees and leaves area
Vaccuum test before - ANSWERBefore: remove all discharge caps and drain booster
tank; chock wheels
Vacuum test during - ANSWERDuring: drain water from fire pump and booster tank;
close all drains, intake valves, cooler lines, and any other sources of vacuum leaks to
isolate fire pump; place caps on all suction or external intake fittings and remove
caps from discharge fittings.
Vacuum test during cont (1) - ANSWERTurn battery on (not necessary to start
engine); fully open primer control handle and hold in that position
Vacuum test during cont (2) - ANSWERContinue to hold hand in fully engaged
position until max vacuum is achieved (15-20 seconds); You should see a vacuum
, reading of approx 22in HG on supply master gauge. Return handle to fully closed
position.
Vacuum test after - ANSWERRecord reading and wait 5 minutes and record again;
reading should not drop below more than 10in Hg in 5 minutes. If it does follow SOPs
and have vacuum leak repaired
Air brakes: - ANSWERAir pressure build-up from 85 psi to 100 psi should take 45
seconds or less. While driving, observe the air pressure gauge during build-up to
ensure proper air system operation.
Dual tires should always be inflated to the same pressure and have the same amount
of tread depth. When dual tires have more than a _____ psi pressure difference
tread depth, ________ of the tires carries too much of the load and becomes
overloaded. - ANSWER-10 PSI pressure distance
-One
Function of maintenance records: - ANSWERTo find any abnormalities so corrective
action can be taken
Overthrottling can result in: - ANSWERLugging; Lugging occurs when the throttle is
applied while the transmission is too high a gear for a given set of conditions
When over throttling a Diesel engine, more fuel is being injected than can be burned
which causes: - ANSWERExcessive amount of carbon particles issuing from the
exhaust (black smoke) oil dilution, and additional fuel consumption
Before stopping the apparatus, what are things the driver should consider? -
ANSWERWeight of the apparatus
Condition of the brakes
Tires
Road surface
Factors that influence a drivers ability to stop the vehicle: - ANSWERCondition and
slope of the driving surface
Speed being traveled
Weight of the vehicle
Type and condition of the vehicles braking system
The most common cause of skids involve driver error: - ANSWERToo fast for
conditions
Failure to appreciate the proper weight shifts for heavy apparatus
Failing to anticipate obstacles
Improper use of auxiliary braking devices
Improper maintenance of tire tread depth and tire pressure
