SAFE COUPLING PROCEDURE

30

• Always grip crank handle securely. • Always grip crank handle securely with both hands before shifting. • Never shift landing gear under load. • Never leave the crank unsecured. • Never raise or lower a loaded trailer in high gear.

2. Semi trailers with aluminum drop tube or adjustable stiff-leg landing gear. To raise or lower a trailer with drop tube or adjustable stiff-leg landing gear, the trailer must be properly supported, then simply pull the pin and slide the tube to the desired position and reinstall the pin. The following rules should be followed when using drop tube style landing gear. a. Always make sure that the curbside and drivers side pins are in the same holes. This will ensure that the trailer will sit equally on both sides. b. Do not allow a loaded trailer to rest solely on the drop tube style, stiff- leg, or adjustable stiff leg landing gear.

DROP TUBE OR ADJUSTABLE STIFF-LEG LANDING GEAR

These support legs are not intended for use with a loaded trailer. Do not place loaded trailer on legs or damage will result. Contact the Beall factory of origin for consultation.
