system is used to power the hydraulic func-
tions, should the tractor not be equipped with
hydraulic hookups.
IMPORTANT
1. CHECK THE FOLLOWING FLUID LEVELS BE-
FORE STARTING THE ENGINE PACKAGE: EN-
GINE OIL, FUEL SUPPLY, HYDRAULIC OIL.
(CHECK OIL LEVEL WHILE SEMITRAILER IS
NOT TILTED AS TILTING WILL CHANGE THE
OIL LEVEL IN THE TANK.)
2. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK, CHECK
THE FOLLOWING ON THE BATTERY: CHARGE,
FLUID, TERMINALS, AND CABLES. TAKE COR-
RECTIVE ACTIONS AS NEEDED.
CAUTION
IF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL IS
LOW DURING OPERATION, THE SEMI-

RECTLY, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO
THE SEMITRAILER.

cated by the hydraulic controls on the driv-
er’s side of the semitrailer. Use the key to
start and stop the Hydraulic Power Supply

three positions:
OFF In this position, the power package
engine does not run. The key can
only be inserted or removed from
this position.
RUN In this position, the engine runs with-
out using the starter.
START In this position, the starter cranks the
power package engine, letting it
start. After the engine is started, re-
lease the key to the RUN position.
3-16.3 The HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY

cated by the Engine Ignition Switch on the
