UNCOUPLING TOWING VEHICLE FROM TRAILER

3-7.1

Park the trailer according to instructions

in

Section 3-6.

3-7.2

Lower the landing gear to the ground

using the manual crank on the trailer.

3-7.3

With electric brake trailers, disconnect

the brake breakaway cable. Disconnect the
electrical cable and store so end is not on
the ground.

3-7.4

With surge brake trailers, disconnect the

breakaway chain. Disconnect the electrical
cable and store so end is not on the ground.

3-7.5

Disconnect safety chains from the tow-

ing vehicle.

3-7.6

Verify that all service lines are discon-

nected and trailer wheels are chocked.

3-7.7

Unlock hitch and raise trailer hitch by

cranking landing gear down until the hitch is
in a position to be disconnected.

3-7.8

Pull towing vehicle away from the trailer.

LOADING THE TRAILER

3-8.1

Practice all standard industrial safety

standards. Do not load any payload that will
overload any component of the trailer or
cause an unsafe condition.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD OR UN-
LOAD TRAILER WITHOUT CHECKING
TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS IN THE
WAY WHEN THE BED IS TILTED.
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL IN-
JURY OR DEATH IS POSSIBLE IF IN
THE PATH OF THE TILTING BED.

3-8.2

Assure maintenance schedule is up-to-

date and trailer is ready to be pulled.

3-8.3

Park towing vehicle and trailer on rela-

tively level ground.

3-8.4

Unlock the over-center hold-down latch

located at the front of the bed. Swing the
latch u-bolt forward far enough that it will
clear the bed anchor.

3-8.5

Keeping feet from under trailer where

they can become pinched, step on the back
of the trailer until the back of trailer rests
firmly on the ground.

3-8.6

Slowly drive the load onto the trailer un-

til the center of gravity of the load is just
slightly in front of the pivot point of the bed
and stop until the bed slowly lowers down to
the transport position. After the bed has
completely lowered, then drive the load on
forward until the load center of gravity is cen-
tered from side to side and so between 8%
and 25% of the total weight of trailer plus
payload is on the hitch.

3-8.7

Some of the trailers have a load holding

valve on them. When the valve knob is
screwed shut, it will keep the trailer deck in
the tilted position once it is tilted. This feature
will allow the trailer to be loaded and stay
tilted even if the load center of gravity goes
past the pivot point. When the load center of
gravity is secured in front of the pivot point,
the load lolding valve knob can be slowly
opened to allow the bed to tilt slowly down
into road position.

IMPORTANT

THIS VALVE DOES NOT KEEP BED FROM TILT-
ING UP EVEN WHEN SHUT OFF.
3-8.8

Secure the load using approved stan-

dard tie-down methods.

3-8.9

Lock the bed down with the over-center

hold-down latch located at the front of the
bed.
