Trailer Air Supply
Chock the trailer wheels. Use two
chocks (one on the front and one on the
rear of the wheel) on both sides of the
trailer.
Wind down the landing gear until it
touches the ground and then give it a
few extra turns in low gear. Do not raise
the trailer off of the fifth wheel. Fold
down or remove the crank handle and
place it in the crank handle holder.
NOTE
In poor ground conditions, it may be
necessary to provide a stable base for the
landing gear.
NOTE
If the operating rod is too difficult to pull,
back the tractor up slightly to relieve any
kingpin load against the fifth wheel jaw.
