if not avoided, could
result in damage to the
fifth wheel and kingpin.
5. Chock the trailer wheels.
6. Lower the landing gear until the pads
just touch the ground (Figure 15).
NOTE: For proper operation and ability
to transfer trailer weight from
the fifth wheel, follow the landing
gear manufacturer's published
instructions. DO NOT raise
trailer off of the fifth wheel.
7. Disconnect the air and electrical lines
from the trailer and secure to tractor.
8. If equipped, pull the secondary lock
release handle and hook on casting

air release equipped, pull and hold the
fifth wheel release valve until locking
