Operation Instructions
6. Lower landing gear until pads just
touch the ground
(Figure 12)
.
NOTE:
Follow instructions published
by manufacturer for proper
operation of landing gear and
ability to transfer trailer weight
off fifth wheel. DO NOT raise
trailer off the fifth wheel.
7. Disconnect brake lines and light cord.
8. Lift release handle up, pull all the way
out, and up again to hook on casting
(Figure 13)
. If air release equipped,
actuate fifth wheel control valve to
open locks.
9. Release tractor brakes and slowly drive
away from trailer.
8. Positioning Sliding
Fifth Wheels
NEVER reposition a sliding fifth
wheel while the tractor-trailer
is in motion or on public
roads. Failure to avoid could
cause loss of vehicle control
or tractor-trailer separation
which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
1. Position tractor and trailer in a straight
line on level ground.
2. Lock trailer brakes.
Failure to stop and properly
lock the trailer brakes may
cause uncontrolled sliding
of fifth wheel which, if
not avoided, may result
in component damage to
tractor or trailer.
3. Release slide locking plungers by moving
cab switch to unlock position
(Figure
14)
. (If manual slide release equipped,
pull release lever.) If plungers do not
come out, lower the landing gear to
relieve pressure on the fifth wheel. This
will allow fifth wheel to slide easier.
