CAUTION
Landing gears are designed to meet T.T.M.A. recommended practice
RP-4 and A.A.R. -931 requirements.
When operating the landing gears, it is necessary to observe some
cautions. By doing so you will insure long trouble-free service by
observing the following:
1.
Do not over extend or over retract landing gears.
2.
Never drop semitrailer on landing gears. Always extend landing gears until shoes
contact ground, then lift semitrailer approximately 1 in. (2.54 cm) before removing
tractor from semitrailer.
3.
Always chock tires front and rear prior to coupling.
4.
Always insure that the landing gear shoes or footpads will rest on hard ground
surface or concrete pad. If necessary, place shoes on a support plank to prevent
the landing gears from sinking into the ground surface. (This is especially
important with liquid cargo where a shift in the contents could overturn the
semitrailer.) Use ground boards to insure correct/safe couplingheight and prevent
shoes from sinking in soft ground.
