To |check |the |speed |down |a |steep |grade? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-1. |Lightly |snub |the |breaks |to |
prevent |the |wheels |from |locking.
2. |By |snubbing |the |breaks.
3. |Select |the |lower |gear |ratios |and |with |a |steady |break |application
What |determines |the |"safe |speed" |to |proceed |down |any |hill? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-The |
speed |which |will |allow |safe |stop |at |any |time.
What |is |the |purpose |of |an |engine |governor? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-To |keep |an |engine's |RPM |
