Practice question

Why should you not manually adjust an automatic slack adjuster (ASA) to correct an out-of-adjustment brake?

  1. It is physically impossible to turn the adjusting bolt on an ASA
  2. Manual adjustment masks a mechanical problem (like a worn or broken adjuster) and will quickly fail again
  3. Adjusting an ASA manually voids the vehicle's engine warranty
  4. Manual adjustment will disable the low-pressure warning light

Answer: B — Manual adjustment masks a mechanical problem (like a worn or broken adjuster) and will quickly fail again
