IMPORTANT
MAXIMUM ANGLE IS ONLY INTENDED IF RE-
QUIRED
FOR UNLOADING NON-POWERED
PRODUCTS AND TO TRANSFER LOAD TO
TRACTOR. TRANSFER LOAD TO TRACTOR BY
RAISING
DECK AND MOVING AXLES
REARWARD UNTIL LOAD IS FORWARD OF
REAR AXLE, THUS APPLYING LOAD TO TRAC-
TOR.
3-14.8
If load is non-powered, insure that the
winch cable is firmly attached to the load and
tension is on the cable. Tilt trailer according
to
Sections 3-14.5 through 3-14.7 , adjusting
tension on winch cable as required. With
winch cable firmly attached to load and suffi-
cient tension on the cable so load securing
devices can be safely removed, remove
other load securing devices. Use the winch
to assist the load down to end of approach
plate. With end of load resting on ground,
block load from rolling or sliding, if neces-
sary. Disconnect the winch and move the
trailer from under the load, allowing the load
to move off trailer to the ground.
3-14.9 If powered load is secured to lower
deck only, tilt semitrailer according to Sec-
tion 3-14.7 . Make sure the trailer is tilted to
the low load angle. Check that powered
equipment parking brakes are set and winch
cable hooked to powered equipment with
sufficient tension so load securing devices
can be removed. Remove safety secure de-
vices. Take tension off winch cable and re-
move winch cable. Power load off the trailer.
WARNING
WHEN REMOVING LOAD, INSURE
T H A T T H E L O A D I S S T E E R I N G
STRAIGHT SO IT DOES NOT MANEU-
VER OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEMI-
TRAILER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT,
INJURY, OR DEATH.
3-14.10 If powered load is secured to both up-
per and lower deck, attention is required be-
fore tilting the trailer. Adjust load securing
devices to allow semitrailer to tilt and suffi-
ciently secure load from movement while
semitrailer is tilted to low load angle before
tilting the semitrailer.
3-14.11 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 folded 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
D A M A G E T O T H E S E M I T R A I L E R
AND/OR LOAD.
3-14.12 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.
3-14.13 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.
3-14.14 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 2-5 seconds).
3-14.15 Reel in winch cable and secure hook
on upper deck.
3-14.16 Shut down hydraulic power system. If
hydraulic engine package is installed, shut
down the auxiliary hydraulic power engine
following operating instructions in
Section
3-18.
