position and moving undercarriage to the rear as
trailer wheels become unloaded. Keep part of the
load on the wheels and part on the approach plate.
Never move undercarriage so far to the rear that the
approach plate is lifted off the ground when center of
gravity of semitrailer and load is behind center of
undercarriage. Never allow wheels to leave the
ground while the trailer is tilted.

as far back as possible without lifting the approach
plate off the ground, fully lower bed tilt angle.

The

is located on the driver’s side of the



WARNING

Before returning the semitrailer to transport
position, insure that there is sufficient distance
between the load and the rear of the semitrailer.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the
semitrailer and/or load.

The winch is not designed or intended to be
used for lifting or moving people. Using it this
way can cause serious injury or death.

Never attempt to disengage the winch cable
spool when the cable is under tension. The
load can roll away. Serious injury or death
can result if people are in the path of the
rolling load.

Failure to leave at least five winch cable
wraps on the winch cable spool could allow
the cable to come off the spool, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.

UP (IN)

This position will cause the winch to
reel cable onto the winch spool when
the winch clutch handle is engaged.

CENTER

This is the neutral position. This
position will not operate the winch.

DOWN (OUT)

This position will cause the winch to
reel cable off of the winch spool when
the winch is engaged.

Do not handle the winch cable when the winch is
in the engage position. Hands or clothing could
get caught in the cable and be pulled into the
spool causing serious personal injury.
