3-12 LOADING THE TRAILER
3-12.1
Practice all standard industrial safety
standards
(See Figure 3-4).
Do not load any
payload that will overload any component of
the trailer or cause an unsafe condition.
3-12.2
Proper operation requires that the un-
dercarriage be pulled fully forward to create
lowest load angle.
3-12.3
Park the tractor/trailer in a straight line
on level even surface. Set the tractor brakes
and release the trailer brakes
(See Figure
3-12.4
Start operation of hydraulic power sys-
tem. If the hydraulic engine package is in-
stalled start and warm up engine following
engine operating instructions in
Section
3-14. (Read engine operator’s manual.)
3-12.5
Alternate between moving the undercar-
riage forward (out of pockets) and tilting the
front of the bed up until the undercarriage is
fully forward and the approach plate is on the
ground. The weight of the trailer bed should
rest partly on approach plate and partly on
undercarriage. The object is to have the ap-
proach plate resting on the ground whenever
the center of gravity of the trailer and load is
behind the rear axle of trailer. In loading po-
sition, the approach plate should be resting
on the ground and the undercarriage fully
forward.
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE BACK TRAILER
AXLE TO LEAVE THE GROUND. THIS
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
TRAILER.
WARNING
IN LOADING OR UNLOADING POSI-
TION, THE APPROACH PLATE
SHOULD BE RESTING ON THE
GROUND.
WARNING
ALWAYS USE LOW LOAD ANGLE TO
LOAD AND UNLOAD POWERED
PRODUCTS.
3-12.6
Winch or drive the load onto the trailer.
Insure that the load is steering straight up
onto the semitrailer and does not maneuver
off the side of the trailer. Continue until load
center of gravity is just ahead of the axles, if
possible. The load should never place more
weight on the kingpin than on the rear axles
during loading and unloading.
CAUTION
MAXIMUM CONCENTRATED LOAD IN
A 10 FT. AREA IS 30,000 LBS.
WARNING
1. THE TRAILER MUST BE COUPLED
TO A TRACTOR AND THE LANDING
GEAR RAISED OFF THE GROUND BE-
FORE OPERATING.
2. DO NOT EXCEED THE GROSS AXLE
WEIGHT RATINGS FOR ANY AXLE ON
YOUR VEHICLE. THE COMBINED
WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER AND
CARGO MUST NOT EXCEED THE
GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
(GVWR) OF THE TRAILER.
