6.1 UNCOUPLE TRUCK FROM TRAILER 1. Park the trailer on a firm level surface. 2. Set the parking brakes. 3. If trailer is loaded, place blocks or pads under landing gear legs to prevent settling.
4. MAC Trailer 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. See figure 6-1.
