Lowering process:
1. After all repairs have been done and the wheels are replaced and secured, the lowering
process is ready to begin.
2. Ensure that no person is underneath or near the vehicle within a 20FT range from the trailer
axles.
3. Release trailer brakes, remove wheel chocks, switch on ignition, and release park brakes.
4. Drive the vehicle forward slowly and the lowering process will begin.
5. The trailer wheels will take over the load and the TrestleJacks will be released from the axle
after about 16 Inches of forward movement.
6. Immediately bring the rig to a halt once the TrestleJacks have been released from the axle or
a distance of 16 Inches has been covered.
7. Apply park brakes, switch off tractor engine, chock the wheels and apply the trailer brakes
before removing the TrestleJacks from underneath the trailer.
IMPORTANT
STOP IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING FORWARD FOR 16 INCHES. REMOVE THE
TRESTLEJACK BEFORE CONTINUING DRIVING.
CAUTION:
During the lowering process do not drive further than 400mm to ensure none of the
TrestleJacks used are causing any obstruction that may result in damage to equipment.
