Uncouple Truck
4. Your trailer may be equipped with a two speed landing gear, or no-load support legs. MAC T railer uses a two speed landing gear from several different manufacturers. High speed may be “in” on some models and “out” on others. High speed is used only when landing gear is off the ground. Engage the crank handle (A) and lower the landing gear until it makes firm contact with the ground, blocks or pads. Switch to low gear and crank an additional 4- 8 turns.
For no-load support legs, pull retaining pins and pins (B), fully extend the no-load legs (C) and insert pins and retaining pins. Return the two speed landing gear crank handle to the storage position. See figure 6-4.
