3-18.3 Move the axles forward.
a. If the load cannot be driven and must be slid
off the trailer, move the undercarriage forward
just enough to allow the rear edge of the
lower deck to touch the ground, when the
trailer is fully tilted.
b. If the load can be driven off the trailer, the
lowest possible load angle is desirable. Move
the undercarriage forward as far as possible.
3-18.4 Tilt the trailer up until the approach
plate touches the ground.
3-18.5 With load securing devices removed,
reel out the winch on which the rear most
vehicle is attached so that the vehicle moves
back towards the rear of the semitrailer. In-
sure that the load is steering straight so it
does not maneuver off the side of the semi-
trailer.
