During inspection, you notice the safety chains on a converter dolly are crossed underneath the tow bar. Is this correct?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 20 (Doubles/Triples): Yes, crossed safety chains are meant to cradle the tow bar if the coupling fails, which is the correct way to connect them
Why
Crossing the safety chains under the tow bar means they can catch and cradle it if the main coupling ever fails, which is exactly why that arrangement is correct rather than a mistake.
