What is the maximum allowable air pressure drop in one minute during the first step of an air brake check?

1 pound
2 pounds
3 pounds
4 pounds

The correct answer is: 3 pounds

The maximum allowable air pressure drop during the first step of an air brake check is 3 pounds in one minute. This standard ensures that the air brake system is functioning properly and can hold pressure effectively for safe operation. If the air pressure drops more than this amount, it may indicate a leak or failure in the system, which could compromise the brakes' ability to function correctly. Consistently monitoring the pressure drop is essential for vehicle safety, and knowing this limit helps drivers maintain their vehicles' braking systems in optimal condition.
