A good indicator that all of the moving parts are getting lubrication is when the oil pressure gauge registers pressure ____ at idle speed.
(at least 10 psi)
If there is no oil pressure indicated within ____ , stop the engine and check the lubricating system. The pressure should not fall below ____ and normal operating pressure should be higher.
10 to 15 seconds / 30 psi at 1200 rpm
Incomplete combustion of fuel is the end result of this, which can cause crankcase dilution, formation of_____ on the valves, pistons, and rings, and rapid ____ in the engine.
lacquer or gummy deposits / accumulation of sludge
When on scene with all warning lights activated, engage the engine high idle feature. Doing so will assist the ____ in keeping up with the electrical current demands placed on it and prevent the Load Manager from “cutting out” electrical accessories due to insufficient current flow.
alternator
Try not to shut down the engine unless coolant temperature is____.
195 F or less.
Stopping a turbocharged engine immediately after high-speed operation may cause damage to the turbocharger as it will continue to turn without an _____.
oil supply to the bearings.
If air pressure is reduced to approximately ___ in both systems, the spring brake valve will automatically apply.
40 psi
Do not engage the Jake Brake on _____. The additional braking effort on the drive wheels (duals) can cause them to lock up which could result in an uncontrollable skid.
wet streets

11.9 volts
If the low-voltage condition continues (for approximately ____), then the shedding of electrical loads will begin.
1 minute
