NOTE: The trailer may be disconnected from the tow vehicle or left connected
depending on specific site conditions.
After placing wheel chocks, stabilize the trailer using the five supplied adjustable
leveling jacks - two on boom arm, two at rear of trailer, and one on trailer tongue.
Raise and lower jacks by rotating crank handle (Figure 3). Adjust the two jacks
on the boom arm until the arm is level to the ground.

minimum speed (Full Up Position).
Turn the key to "Run" (vertical) position. The Glow Plug Indicator will light. Hold

Allow the engine and hydraulic system to warm up at idle speed for 5-10 minutes.
