If a vehicle equipped with automatic slack adjusters shows signs of excessive brake stroke, what does this suggest?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 119 (Air Brakes): The automatic adjuster itself may be malfunctioning and needs inspection or repair
