Chock the trailer wheels. Use two chocks (both on the front and rear of the wheel) on
both sides of the trailer.
Back up close to the trailer, centering the kingpin on the throat of the fifth wheel,
and STOP.

Note:

For tractors with air ride suspension, make sure the suspension control switch is

in the "RIDE" position (switch pushed in at the top) and the air springs are inflated.

Connect the air brake lines and the electrical power cord. Make sure that any slack in
the lines is supported so that the brake lines do not become entangled. Set the trailer
