Landing gear
Low Speed (A): When the crank handle (1) is
turned in the fully pressed position, it raises/
lowers at low speed.
High Speed (B): It performs high speed lift-
ing/lowering when the lever turned in the fully
extended position. The position is used to
quickly lower the gear until the foot (plates)
touch the ground during the process of sepa-
rating the semi-trailer from the tractor, or to
raise the gear quickly after the semi-trailer is
connected to the tractor.
The landing gear which is usually located on
the passenger side of the vehicle.
Under any circumstances, secure
the semi-trailer against tipping by
means of correctly positioned
wedges. If the vehicle is not properly se-
cured damaged to the landing gear or the
vehicle may occur.
If the loading/ unloading operation
is performed while semi-trailer is
not paired with the tractor, the
front or rear of the vehicle may raise. Seri-
ous accident and damaged may occur. For
this reason, the semi-trailer must be paired
with the tractor during loading/unloading.
If the tractor leaves from the
loaded trailer, be sure that the
load is distributed homogene-
ously in the vehicle. Otherwise, the front
or rear section of the vehicle may be raised
due to centre of gravity, and accident may
occur.
In order to protect the landing gear, be sure
that there won’t be any lateral movements on
your vehicle. For this reason give attention to
the following criteria:
•
Disconnect the semi-trailer from the
tractor only when the landing gear are
in the middle (neutral) position.
•
If you will park for a long time without
the coupled tractor, be sure that air
suspensions are lowered and after
that adjust the landing gears. Thus,
the loading area will be parallel to the
ground.
