Operating the trailer

Uncoupling

Preparations before uncoupling

1.
Select a location suitable and firm enough to support the
weight of trailer and tractor.
2.
Move the tractor in a straight line with the trailer.
CAUTION
Do not pull out the tractor at an angle. Doing so may damage
the support legs of the landing gear and upper coupler.
3.
Shut off the trailer air supply valve to lock the trailer brakes.
4.
Back up the tractor slightly to ease the pressure on the fifth
wheel locking jaws, which allows you to release the fifth wheel
locking lever easily, and then apply the trailer parking brake
while the tractor is pushing against the kingpin.

Lowering the landing gear

NOTE
For more information on each component of landing gear and
instructions, refer to "Landing gear" on page 23.
1.
Push the crank handle of the landing gear to set it to the high
gear.
2.
Turn the crank handle counterclockwise until the landing gear
touches the ground, and then secure the crank handle. (Do
not raise the trailer from the fifth wheel.)
NOTE
If necessary, place a proper supporting material under the landing
gear to prevent the trailer from sinking into the ground.
