- Apply the tractor 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 off the pintle hook.
- Push the latch lock toward the mounting plate as far as it will go. Hold it in this position as you pull the top of the latch outwards as far as it will go. Then release the latch lock so it rotates into the latch. Release the latch.
- 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.
