4.
With handle in the unlocked position (See Fig. 11), back truck slowly into trailer. As the trailer king pin enters the hitch it will
push the hitch jaws open and extend the handle (See Fig. 12). As king pin completely enters head, jaws will spring closed
around king pin and the jaws will return to the closed position and king pin indicator will extend out from the head assembly
(See Fig. 13).
5.
After king pin is latched rotate handle down to ensure jaws are locked around king pin (See Fig. 14).
6.
Use only the method described above for hitching.
Do not attempt to hitch by using trailer jacks to lower trailer and king pin. This could result in king pin coming to rest on top of skid
plate instead of within hitch opening where jaws are located. King pin could slide off hitch and trailer could drop, resulting in death
or serious injury.
