Trailer Hookup

SD DM 18.01.02
  1. Chock the front and rear tires of the trailer.
  2. Lift the lock and raise the latch.
  3. Back up the vehicle, until the drawbar eye is over the pintle hook.
  4. Lower the trailer, until the drawbar eye rests on the pintle hook.
  5. Close the latch.

    6. Notice: Always make sure the connect-hanger/support keeps the trailer air hoses and electrical cables positioned so that they do not rub on anything. Rubbing may wear through hoses or cables, resulting in air leaks, or exposed or broken wires, potentially affecting trailer brake or electrical systems.

  6. Hook up the trailer electrical and air lines.
