OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Coupling of Trailer and
Truck
1. Slowly back the truck (towing vehicle) up to the front
end of the trailer so the hitch of the trailer is centered
with the truck. Stop the towing vehicle just inches
ahead of the trailer. Set truck parking brake.
2. The hitch on the trailer can be adjusted to different
heights. Make sure the hitch height is at the correct
height so the trailer deck is about parallel to the
ground when loaded.
3. If the trailer hitch needs some adjustment to connect
to the truck, manually raise or lower the front of trailer
by cranking the landing gear (parking stands) up or
down until the proper height has been obtained.
4. Connect electrical receptacle to the truck.
5. Apply brakes and inspect brake action on all wheels
for prompt application.
Coupling of the Towing Vehicle
to the Trailer

DANGER
1. Verify the trailer wheels are chocked and brakes
function properly.
2. Make sure the towing vehicle’s coupler is open.

CAUTION
3. Slowly back the towing vehicle so the hitch contacts
the trailer hitch. Make sure the hitch is centered and
will properly connect up. Set the vehicle brakes.
4. Raise the landing gear (parking stands) and lock the
hitch in place.
IMPORTANT
Keep brakes engaged for remainder of hookup,
checkout procedures, and for parking.
Towing Vehicle and Trailer
Hook-up and Check-out

WARNING
1. Connect the electrical receptacle on the front of the
trailer to the towing vehicle.
IMPORTANT
The key on the plug and the keyway in the socket
must be properly aligned before inserting the plug
into the trailer socket.
2. Assure landing gear is raised up all the way.
3. Attach safety chains from the trailer to the towing
vehicle.
4. For electric brake breakaway system, attach brake
breakaway cable to towing vehicle. Allow slack in
cable for turning. Make sure breakaway battery is
charged and breakaway system is working properly.

WARNING
5. For trailers with surge brakes, connect breakaway
chain s-hook to towing vehicle. Allow slack for
turning, but avoid letting chain drag on pavement.
Provide as straight a connection as possible.
6. For trailers with surge brakes, sway control devices
that restrict operation of the actuator cannot be used.
The actuator must be free to telescope in response
to braking requirements.
7. Check your maintenance schedule and be sure
everything is up-to-date.
8. Set parking brake and carefully remove all wheel
chocks. If brakes are not properly set, the truck/trailer
may roll when removing wheel chocks.
Keep all personnel clear of front, rear, and sides
of towing vehicle and trailer during coupling,
component operations, and uncoupling. Failure
to stay clear can result in serious personal injury
or death.
Pushing the trailer backwards can damage
landing gear.
Failure to properly set and check parking brake,
and chock wheels when parking and during
storage, could allow movement of the truck/trailer
resulting in serious personal injury, death, or
damage to property in its path.
Make sure electric and surge brake breakaway
cable is connected for protection while traveling.
Failure of cable connection will constitute no
emergency braking system in the event that the
trailer is separated from the towing vehicle. This
may result in serious personal injury, death, or
damage to property.
