that may be encountered to prevent damage to the

When using Trailer Jockey with trailer on public roads, the
fifth wheel manual secondary lock must be used. Check to see
that it is properly engaged.
When operating this vehicle on public highways, the fifth
wheel highway lock must be engaged and the fifth wheel must
be in the lowered position with the trailer landing gear
cranked up to comply with overall height regulations.
The PTO should be disengaged when driving the machine on
trips in excess of 10 miles one way to increase PTO and pump
life. The MT Transmission PTO may be disengaged by pushing
the lever on the PTO cover to the rear. The engine must be
stopped to re-engage the PTO. Reengage PTO by moving the
lever forward.
Forcing the lever forward with the engine running will dam-
age the transmission and PTO gears.
