Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 20 (Combination Vehicles): Connect the emergency (supply) line, then the service line, keeping lines from crossing or twisting
Why
Connecting the emergency line first and keeping both lines uncrossed avoids a mixed-up connection that could leave the trailer without a working emergency brake supply.
