When connecting a semi-trailer, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the tractor and semi-trailer is standardized in all aspects, with special attention paid to the operation of attaching and detaching the towing seat, which must be carried out on a solid and flat ground.

 

When hanging, the semi-trailer skateboard must be at the same level as the towing seat panel, or slightly lower (up to 50mm) than the towing seat panel, while paying attention to the height changes that may occur when using air suspension.

 

security check:

 

After the connection is completed, the tractor should be slightly moved forward to check if the connection is good. Only after confirming that the traction seat locking mechanism is in the locked state can the vehicle be driven.

 

Regularly check the wear of the towing seat and towing pin, as well as the tightness of the connecting components, to ensure safe and reliable connection.
