Unloading Trailer
1) Park truck and trailer straight on a firm level spot and apply truck’s parking brake and chock trailer wheels.
Do not apply trailer parking brakes to retain air pressure in trailer supply line.
2) Check that the area around the trailer is clear of personnel and obstructions.
3) If equipped with ramps remove ramp hold up bars from ramps. Stay clear of area behind ramps.

5) Check that the parking brake is set on the equipment that is being hauled.
Remove load securement.
6) Switch deck lock valve from lock to unlock position.
