Trailer Coupling Procedures
DANGER
It is important that the operating
procedures contained in this manual are
fully understood and closely followed.
Failure to properly couple the tractor
and trailer can result in their separation,
causing death and property damage.
Proper pick-up and coupling to a trailer is
a serious matter. A trailer that becomes
disconnected while in motion is extremely
dangerous to other traffic and may result
in death or severe personal injury. To
ensure a positive hook-up or coupling, the
procedures should be followed in every
case.
This procedure covers vehicles with and without air suspension.
