WARNING
1. LANDING GEAR LEGS MUST BE
FULLY RETRACTED AND SECURED
WITH PINS BEFORE OPERATING OR
MOVING SEMITRAILER.
2. IF SEMITRAILER IS LOADED WHEN
OPERATING LANDING GEAR, LOAD
MUST BE CENTERED ON THE
TRAILER.
3. DO NOT TILT SEMITRAILER WITH
HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR ON
GROUND.
3-5.3 Activate the TRAILER TILT lever (See
Section 3-9) “DOWN” until the semitrailer is
fully lowered. Hold semitrailer tilt lever in the
down position until hydraulic system works
against the bottomed out Hydraulic Tilt Cylin-
ders.
3-5.4 Determine that the traveling undercar-
riage is completely slid back to transport po-
sition. Hold AXLE CONTROL lever (See
Section 3-10) in the transport position until
hydraulic system works against the fully ex-
tended hydraulic telescopic axle cylinder.
Shut off hydraulic power.
3-5.5 Check the operation of all lights and sig-
nals on the semitrailer for proper response to
switch positions (stop, right turn, left turn,
and clearance). Check operation of remote
function if present.
3-5.6 Check tire inflation, adjust as needed to
the pressure listed on the semitrailer VIN
plate, located on the front of the semitrailer.
3-5.7 Check tractor/semitrailer rig for air leaks.
If air leakage is found, repair the defect be-
fore transporting.
3-5.8 Check the oil in each hub for proper
level and freedom from contamination. If
hubs are contaminated with water, dirt or
some other foreign material, clean before
transporting.
3-5.9 Check tractor air pressure. Pressure
must not fall below 90 psi, even after activat-
ing brakes a couple of times. Set parking
brake and carefully remove all wheel chocks.
Set emergency brake and try pulling forward.
The semitrailer wheels must not rotate. If
semitrailer brakes do not apply, DO NOT
transport until defect, or defects, are re-
paired.
3-6 TOWING THE SEMITRAILER
Driving the towing vehicle with the semitrailer
coupled behind requires constant attention to the
overall length of the combination. The “hinged-in-
the-middle” configuration of the tractor and semi-
trailer, load, and weight effect performance. Turn-
ing, passing, acceleration, braking, stopping, and
backup require special considerations. When exe-
cuting steep grades or turning tight curves, the
semitrailer must not be allowed to push the towing
vehicle, or jack knifing the semitrailer with the tow-
ing vehicle may result. Application of the semi-
trailer brakes to keep the semitrailer in tow will
help prevent this pushing. Braking should begin
before descending a hill or attempting a curve, to
assure control.
WARNING
ALWAYS CHECK BEHIND AND UNDER
THE TRUCK AND SEMITRAILER FOR
PERSONS OR OBJECTS BEFORE
MOVING. FAILURE TO CHECK CAN
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL IN-
JURY OR DEATH TO OTHERS, OR
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
