Before using the air valve to unlock a fifth wheel kingpin, prepare the trailer as follows.

  1. Set the tractor and trailer parking brakes.
  2. Chock the rear trailer tires.
  3. Lower the trailer landing gear until the weight is removed from the fifth wheel.
  4. Disconnect the tractor-to-trailer air lines and electrical cable. Plug the air lines to prevent dirt or foreign material from entering the lines.
