Question | Answer |
---|---|
keeping equipment or apparatus in a state of usefulness or readiness | maintanence |
to restore or put together something that has become inoperable or out of place | repair |
NFPA 1002 requires driver, operators to be able to perform tests, inspections, and servicing to these systems | batteries, braking system, coolant system, electrical system, fuel system, hydraulic fluids, oil, tires, steering system, belts, tools & appliances and equipment |
When approaching a vehicle to be inspected, what should driver/operators observe? | problem that may be readily apparent from a distance,body damage or a severe lean to one side, the terrain on which the vehicle is parking, fluid leaks, such as water, collant, oil, hydraulic fluid, or transmission fluid |
Why is inspection of apparatus easier if the apparatus is clean? | A clean engine permits proper inspection of leaks and their source, dirty hoses and wires may be frayed or cracked |
What should systematic maintenance procedures specify | Maintenance procedures, when they are performed, and who is responsible for conducting the maintenance |
Why should fire pumps be tested at regularly scheduled intervals? | To compare actual performance to specific standards |
Post-Maintenance/Repair Inspection- | a specific inspection to an area of a chassis or apparatus to ensure that the unit is operating properly in accordance with the manufacturer’s initial design |
Diesel Particulate Filter | DPF |
a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine | Diesel Particulate Filter |
a braking system that uses a fluid in a closed system to pressurize wheel cylinders when activated | Hydraulic Braking Systems |
an electronic system that monitors wheel spin. When braking and a wheel are sensed to begin locking up, the brake on the wheel is temporarily released to prevent skidding | Antilock Braking System |
a braking system that uses compressed air to hold off a spring brake and applies air pressure to a service brake for vehicle stopping | Air-Actuated Braking System |
devices used in an air brake system that connect between the activation pads and the brake pads that compensate for brake pad wear | Slack Adjusters |
a series of tests used to ensure the serviceability of an air braking system. Tests include air loss, air compressor buildup, air warning, and emergency parking brake activation | Air Brake Test |
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating | GVWR |
a truck that uses a cab that lowers over the power train | Tilt Cab |
an electrical monitoring system that will shed electrical load in a predetermined order if the chassis voltage begins to drop below a predetermined level | Load Management System |
operation of equipment or a conductor more than its rated ampacity; continuous overload may result in overheating that damages the equipment | Overload |
device in an electrical system that turns lights on at a specified interval, so that the start up load for all the devices does not occur at the same time | Load Sequencer |
device that “watches” an electrical system for added loads that may threaten to overload the system | Load Monitor |
when an overload condition occurs, the load monitor will shut down less important electrical equipment to prevent the overload | Load Shedding |
a component of the power train that receives torque from the engine and converts it to rotation to the wheels | Manual Shift Transmission |
amount of travel the clutch has before it begins to disengage the engine from the transmission | Free Play |
the component used to push on the internal clutch fingers connected to the clutch pedal and when activated, disengages the clutch from the engine | Throw-Out Bearing |
in a steering system, the amount of travel between turning the wheel and when the steering system moves | Steering Wheel Play |
