landing Gear
The trailer landing gear assembly includes
mounting plates, support braces, legs, a cross-
shaft, a crank handle, and hardware attaching
the various components. Regular inspection is
important to ensure safe operation of the landing
gear.
The landing gear system has two speeds: high and
low. Low gear provides the power necessary for
lifting the trailer under load. High gear provides for
quick leg extension and retraction without load.
WaRNING:
follow the guidelines below to avoid potentially
hazardous situations that may result in death or
serious injury.
• Do not uncouple the tractor from the trailer
until the landing gear support legs have been
extended, contact the ground, and support the
weight of the trailer.
• Always park the trailer on a solid, level surface.
• Always ensure the trailer parking brakes are
applied or use chock blocks for safety when
coupling or uncoupling the trailer.
• After gear selection, ensure full engagement of the
input shaft into the crank handle. Do not depend
on the retaining bolt to transfer the rotation from
the handle to the input shaft.
• Prior to operation, inspect all hardware, including
the bolt that attaches the handle to the input shaft.
• Maintain firm footing and grip when cranking. Be
especially cautious when standing on slippery
surfaces.
• Always stow the handle when not in use.
• Ensure regular maintenance and lubrication
according to the component manufacturer
guidelines.
