1. Safety Instructions

General and Servicing Safety Instructions



Read and observe all Warning and Caution hazard

alert messages. The alerts provide information that
can help prevent serious personal injury, damage to
components, or both.

Failure to follow the instructions and safety
precautions in this manual could result in
improper servicing or operation leading to
component failure which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.



All maintenance should be performed by a properly

trained technician using proper/special tools, and
safe procedures.

NOTE: In the United States, workshop safety requirements

are defined by federal and/or state Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Equivalent laws may
exist in other countries. This manual is written based
on the assumption that OSHA or other applicable
employee safety regulations are followed by the
location where work is performed.

IMPORTANT: Verify before installation that the landing

gear selected will withstand the load
and have the correct travel/extension
requirements for the trailer.



DO NOT operate the landing gear if it is cracked,

bent, or any other damage is present. Using damaged
landing gear could result in death or serious injury.

Failure to check condition of landing gear
prior to operating could result in unexpected
performance which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

Safety Instructions



Properly support and secure the vehicle from unexpected

movement when servicing the landing gear.

NOTE: If possible, unload the trailer before performing any

service procedures.

Failure to secure the trailer from rolling, when
operating the landing gear, could result in
death, serious injury or property damage.

Failure to properly support and secure
the trailer during installation of landing
gear could create a crush hazard which,
if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.



DO NOT walk/crawl underneath a trailer during

coupling/uncoupling or while it is supported by the
landing gear/kingpin stand.



If possible, unload the trailer before performing any
maintenance or service procedures.

Failure to keep clear from underneath the
trailer could create a crush hazard which,
if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Using damaged landing gear could
result in unexpected performance which,
if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
