PERFORM THE FOLLOWING IN THIS ORDER:
1. Make sure truck is in park with emergency brake on.
2. Place blocks firmly against front and rear of each trailer wheel to prevent any possible forward or rearward motion.
3. Using trailer jacks, lower trailer landing gear following the directions in the Trailer Manual until feet of landing gear
are resting on firm ground.
4. Lower truck tail gate.
5. Disconnect power cable and breakaway switch cable between truck and trailer.
6. Remove bail pin from hole in handle.
7. Pull hitch handle out completely until it latches in open position so that king pin is no longer securely grasped by
hitch jaws (see Figure 26). Trailer is now free from hitch and truck. If handle does not pull out, there is probably
pressure against the jaw. To relieve this pressure, back the truck slightly. Reset truck emergency brake. Then pull
hitch handle out completely until it latches in open position.
8. AFTER MAKING CERTAIN NO ONE IS STANDING BETWEEN TRUCK AND TRAILER OR IN FRONT OF TRUCK,
drive truck slowly away from trailer.
9. Hitch jaw will automatically close as the king pin is removed from the jaw.
10. KEEP WHEEL BLOCKS IN PLACE. This will keep trailer from moving unexpectedly
1. Recheck tightness of all hardware every 1000 miles of use. All 5/8” bolts have a torque specification of 170 lb-ft.,
and 1” jam nuts should be box wrench snug plus1/4 turn.

3. Anchor assemblies should be lubricated every 6 months with lithium grease to keep assemblies moving freely.
