Reconnect the electrical and air service lines from
the semitrailer to the gooseneck. The 7 pole
electrical connector attaches to the receptacle in the
side of the gooseneck. Open shutoff gladhands to

Failure to support the semitrailer fully on the load
blocks during transport and parking may result in
damage to the load, the semitrailer, and possible
serious injury or death to individuals near the
semitrailer.
The gooseneck may be used in the lowered or
raised positions to avoid low clearance obstacles
or high centering. Never exceed 2 miles an hour
when transporting the semitrailer in this manner.
When removing load, insure that the load is
steering straight so it does not maneuver off the
side of the semitrailer. Failure to so could result
in damage to equipment, injury, or death.
