9. Once the tag axle is out of the rails, move the boom to put the tag axle down on a firm
surface. Properly chock the tag axle's wheels to prevent the tag axle from moving. Place
blocks under the tag axle and underlift so that the assembly stands securely upright and
will not fall.
Never leave the tag axle on the ground without chocks in front of and behind
the wheels to prevent it from moving. Also, make sure to securely stabilize
the assembly with blocks. The tag axle is heavy and may fall if not properly
secured with blocks, which could cause serious injury or even death.
10. Unhook the underlift from the boom (see Section
3.8.3 Unhooking the underlift from the
).
Removing the underlift from the tag axle, and then removing the tag
axle from the wrecker
To remove the underlift from the tag axle, and then remove the tag axle from the wrecker:
1. Remove the underlift from the tag axle (see Section
3.8.5 Removing the underlift from the
), but instead of disconnecting the underlift's MultiFaster hydraulic coupler from
the body, disconnect it from the tag axle.
2. Disconnect the MultiFaster hydraulic coupler that connects the tag axle to the body and
place it in the docking bracket on the side of the tag axle.
3. Restart the engine or engage the PTO.
4. Lift and align the boom so that there are a few feet of space between it and the top of the
tag axle.
5. Gently unwind the main winch cables and attach the cables to the eyes near the top of
the tag axle.
6. Slightly raise the boom to relieve the pressure on the pins securing the tag axle to the
wrecker tag axle rails. Remove the pins and store them.
7. Slightly extend or retract the boom so the tag axle's centre of gravity allows the tag axle
to slide freely in the rails. Using the boom, lift the tag axle close to the end of the rails and
ensure that it is still centred in the rails by slightly extending or retracting the boom.
8. Using the boom, slowly lift the tag axle out of the rails.
