3-12.10 Before returning the semitrailer to
transport position insure that there is suffi-
cient distance between the load and the rear
of the semitrailer so that the semitrailer does
not hit the load when being lowered back to
transport position.
CAUTION
BEFORE RETURNING THE SEMI-
TRAILER 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.
3-12.11 Using the TRAILER TILT lever (See
Section 3-9 and AXLE CONTROL lever
(See Section 3-10), alternate between tilting
the front of the bed up to full tilt 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 semi-
trailer and load is behind center of undercar-
riage. Never allow wheels to leave the
ground while the trailer is tilted.
3-12.12 After the trailer is fully tilted and the
undercarriage is as far back as possible
without lifting the approach plate off the
ground, fully lower bed tilt angle.
3-12.13 With bed tilt angle fully lowered, move
undercarriage rearward to transport position.
Hold TRAILER TILT lever in the down posi-
tion until hydraulic system works against the
bottomed out Hydraulic Tilt Cylinders (Ap-
proximately 2-5 seconds). Hold AXLE CON-
TROL lever in the transport position until hy-
draulic system works against the fully ex-
tended Hydraulic Axle Cylinder (Approxi-
mately 15-30 seconds).
3-12.14 Reel in winch cable and secure hook
