Trailer Release
108SD d 18.03.002
- Apply the truck and trailer parking brakes.
- Chock the front and rear tires of the trailer.
- Disconnect the trailer air and electrical lines. Plug the air lines to keep them free of dirt.
- Take the weight of the trailer drawbar eye off the pintle hook.
- Push the latch lock towards the mounting plate as far as possible then, while holding the latch lock in this position, pull the top of the latch as far as possible toward the pintle hook.
- While holding the latch in place, release the latch lock.
- Slowly drive the vehicle away from the trailer.
Warning: Do not use the trailer air supply for parking trailers not equipped with spring parking brakes. This applies the trailer service brakes only. As air bleeds from the trailer brake system, brake application is lost. This could allow the unattended vehicle to roll away, possibly resulting in serious personal injury or death.
