1. Keeping the apparatus in a state of usefulness or readyness.: Maintenance 2. To restore or replace parts on components, which have become inopera- ble.: Repair 3. NFPA Standard for Emergency Vehicle Technician professional qualifica- tions.: NFPA 1071 4. NFPA standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus.: NFPA 1911 (includes brake testing) 5. A clean engine and clean functional parts help with what?: Permits proper inspection, which helps to ensure efficient operation. 6. As the driver/operator performs the daily walk-around inspection, What tw types f inspections are being conducted simultaniously?: 1. The commercial road-worthiness inspection. 2. The inspection that firefighters make for operational readiness of emergency q equipment attached to the apparatus. 7. Why does IFSTA recommend driver/operators use a systematic method, such as a walk-around inspection?: To ensure that no portion of a vehicle inspec- tion is overlooked. 8. What should the wheel itself be inspected for?: Signs of missing, bent, or broken studs, lugs, or balance weights. 9. When examining tire condition, what should driver/operators check for?: - proper tread depth - Tread separation - cupping - excessive wear on the sidewalls - cuts - dry rotting - cracking tires - objects impaled in the tire. 10. The maximum weight at which a vehicle can be safely operate on road- ways.: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR); should be on a placard in plane view. GVWR placard may also indicate the max weight on each axle. 11. The weight of an empty fire apparatus off the assembly line with no tools, water, equipment, or passengers.: Curb weight, often confused with GVWR 2} 14. As’a rule of thumb, it is generally best to keep the fuel tank at least how full?: 3/4 full 15. Turns various lights on at specified intervals so that the start-up electrical load for all of the devices does notoccur at the same time.: Load sequencer 16. "Watches" the system for added electrical loads that threaten to overload the system.: Load Monitor 17. When an overload condition occurs, the load monitor will shut down less important electrical equipment to prevent the overload.: Load shedding 18. Most all commercial vehicles since aproximately what year are equipped with anti-lock braking systems?: 1990 19. Most large, modern fire apparatus are equipped with wha type of braking systems?: Air actuated braking systems 20. Apparatus with air brakes are to be equipped with an air pressure protec- tion valve that prevents the air horn and other unnecessary peripherals from being operated wen the pressure in the sir reserve drops below what psi?: 80 psi 21. Apparatus brakes should be thoroughly tested at least how often?: Atleast once a year 22. The air pressure warning signal, on air brakes, should sound before the pressure drops to less than what psi?: 60 psi 23. At what point should the automatic actuation of the parking brakes occur? 4] (pop out): 20-40 psi 24. The cab should be lifted at least how often to inspect the engine compart- ment area?: weekly 25. If driver/operators are expected to lubricate th chassis components, they must perform what duties?: - Be familiar with all the lubrcation fill connections. - Wipe the fittings clean with a shop rag. -press the end of the lubrication gun fill hose onto the fitting. - operate the pump handle on the grease gun until resistance is felt. - Continue this process around te apparatus until all lubricsation points have been filled. 26. The operational inspection of an aerial apparatus serves what two purpos- es?: - Ensures the serial device is in proper working condition. - serves as a review of the aerial device operation for the driver operator. 27. Why is it not advisable to rotate and extend the device at the same time?- : Such action overtaxes the hydraulic system and may cause damage. 28. Aparatus tests can be grouped into what two tests?: - Preservice tests - Service tests 33. air compressor cut out should occur when: 125-130 psi 34. air compressor cut in should occur @ __- when lowering the air tanks at 5-10 psi increments with brake pedal: no lower then 85 psi 35. color of air pressure needles: primary white or green; secondary red or yellow 36. during service brake test move forward at ___ MPH and apply brakes, any pull in steering, unusual feel, or delay in stopping action must be reported and checked: 5 mph 37. diesel exhaust can emit up to harmful chemicals: 100 38. According to NFPA . the maximum tire pressure imprinted on the exterior of each tire is not the recommended operating tire pressure.: 1911 39. benefits of Nitrogen in truck tires include: hold less moisture dissipates heat more rapidly better fuel mileage these result in better tire wear. might save dept. money in fuel but offset by cost of NTG 40. the following information my be imprinted on a sidewall: Construction type (tubless, steel-belted, radial, bias-ply, etc.) Tire max in pds tire max psi in pressure traction index temperature index tread wear index ply rating size code 8} 45. if the slack adjuster has more then __" of play, the brake system is out of adjustment. if your are driving a apparatus built before 1991 check manual for testing slack adjusters.: 1", should be checked daily 46. tor f when lifting the cab you should put down the stabilizers: true, because you have to lift the ladder a little 47. you should operate the aerial ladder at least once every: every work period 48. once a year service testing includes inspecting and testing components such as the: stabilizers, torque box, aerial device and water systems 49. Most of the service inspections and test outlined in NFPA 1911 are de- signed to be performed by: qualified fire department personnel. 50. Nondestructive testing is done by and is done every ___ years: 3rd party; 5 years 51. any person who is performing 3rd party nondestructive testing must be qualified as a: American society for nondestructive testing (ASNT) level II NDT Technician 52. the standards for nondestructive testing must comply with what?: Ameri- can society for testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E543, Standard Practice for Evaluating Agencies that perform Nondestructive testing. 53. a 200 pound firefighter jumping 3 feet onto an aerial device can cause and impact load in excess of pds: 700 pds 54. name 3 main types of testing done to aerial device: load testing nondestructive testing operational testing 10/ 55. 1901 (standard for automatic fire apparatus) does not require particular manufactures test for aerial devices or components but what does it require?- : that the apparatus complete a road test, and equipped with water pump, hydrostatic testing is required. 56. 1901 requires certification testing be done at the manufactures facility and to include what: extensive testing done on aerial device and fire pump 57. during acceptance testing if the aerial device has a fire pump testing issues arise when testing at altitudes in excess of feet or greater: 2000'
