To apply pressure to hydraulic fluid in the brake pipes
To reduce wear on pistons and cups
What is the function of the vacuum brake servo?
To operate the handbrake in the event of failure of the main braking system
To feed the brake components at each of the individual wheels
To assist in applying pressure to the brake pipes
To absorb moisture that collects internally
What is the purpose of the dual circuit braking system?
To operate the brake linings against the surfaces of the disc or drum
To increase the force applied to the brake linings
To have two totally separate hydraulic circuits for safety
To have a single brake pipe to feed fluid from the master cylinder to all four brakes
What is the function of the brake callipers and cylinders?
To solidify in cold weather
To force the brake linings against the surfaces of the disc or drum
To assist in applying pressure to the brake pipes
To absorb moisture that collects internally
What is the purpose of the flexible brake hose in a braking system?
To allow for suspension or steering movement
To have a smaller force but more travel
To have a larger force but less travel
To operate the handbrake in the event of failure of the main braking system
What is the specification for automobile brake fluid according to SAE and DOT?
Must solidify in cold weather
Must react with metal or rubber
Must not have a high boiling point
Must be free-flowing at all temperatures
What is the action of the master cylinder in a braking system?
Fluid pressure pushes the calliper pistons together and brake cylinder pistons apart
The atmosphere valve opens allowing a pressure differential across the diaphragm
The throttle valve restricts the air flow into the engine
Pressure can build up in the brake pipes to apply the brakes
What is the purpose of the inlet check valve and outlet check valve in a hydraulic system?
To solidify in cold weather
To operate the handbrake in the event of failure of the main braking system
To absorb moisture that collects internally
To close and open to allow fluid to flow through
What is the function of the split systems in a dual-circuit braking system?
To increase the force applied to the brake linings
To have two totally separate hydraulic circuits for safety
To split between front and rear or diagonally opposite corner to corner
To operate the brake linings against the surfaces of the disc or drum
What is the purpose of the vacuum supply for the servo in a braking system?
To supply and operate the servo
To assist in applying pressure to the brake pipes
To absorb moisture that collects internally
To solidify in cold weather
