Q: Always use the correct size pliers when working with pneumatic system fittings.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: The atmospheric air is heated just from compressing it, as the air cools some moisture condenses from the atmospheric air and gets into the pneumatic system.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: An air compressor is basically an air pump that takes in atmospheric air and compresses it to an exit pressure of 500 to 1750 psig.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: Single acting cylinders use compressed air to push the piston in one direction, but use a spring to return the cylinder.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: Over time a small amount of oil, which is used as a lubricant, will exit the compressor with the compressed air and accumulate inside the pneumatic system.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: Always check that the air pressure gauge reads 0 psi before disconnecting any part of the pneumatic system.
- True
- False
A: False
