Trailer Uncoupling Procedures
For Tractors With Air Ride Suspension
Set the system park brake on the tractor.
Set the trailer brakes by pulling out the trailer air supply knob.
Chock the trailer wheels. Use two chocks (one on the front and one on
the rear of the wheel) on both sides of the trailer.
Wind down the landing gear until it touches the ground and then give it
a few extra turns in low gear. Do not raise the trailer off of the fifth
wheel. Fold down or remove the crank handle and place it in the crank
handle holder.
In poor ground conditions, it may be necessary to
provide a stable base for the landing gear.
