CAUTION
Risk of injury due to crank recoil!
A hand crank recoil can cause injuries
when releasing the hand crank.
► Slowly ease the load off the hand
crank at the end of the rotation.
► Apply the parking brake (see "5.9.2
Parking brake", pg.37).
► Ensure that the ground is load-bearing
and level.
► Use wheel chocks to prevent the trailer
from rolling away (see "5.1 Using wheel
chocks", pg.22).
► Lift the hand crank from the bracket.
► Engage the hand crank on the crank
drive shaft until it locks into place.
► Switch on rapid speed by pulling out
the hand crank (see "Fig. 5-2: Load
speed and rapid speed of the landing leg
winch", pg.24).
► Wind down the landing leg winch until
it touches the ground.
► Switch on load speed by pushing in
the hand crank (see "Fig. 5-2: Load
speed and rapid speed of the landing leg
winch", pg.24).
► Use the hand crank to wind to the de-
sired support height. Do not fully un-
load the wheels while doing so.
► Use the rear braces, if available (see
"5.3 Rear braces", pg.25).
► Secure the hand crank in the bracket.
