OPERATION
360
Release the operating rod. The upper shoulder of the operating rod
should now be in contact with the plate casting above the operating
slot. The fifth wheel is now in the lockset position and a trailer can be
coupled.
Trailer Coupling Procedures
It is important that the operating procedures
contained in this manual are fully understood and
closely followed. Failure to properly couple the
tractor and trailer can result in their separation,
causing death and property damage.
Proper pick-up and coupling to a trailer is a
serious matter. A trailer that becomes
disconnected while in motion is extremely
dangerous to other traffic and may result in death
or severe personal injury. To ensure a positive
hook-up or coupling, the procedures should be
followed in every case.
This procedure covers vehicles with and without air suspension.
