10.Retract the jack fully. Remove and store the caster, if applicable.

11.Check for proper truck-trailer hook-up; the tow vehicle and trailer should be level with a positive tongue load.For further information, consult a dealer or Atwood Service Center.

12.The direction lever must be positioned in the “Towing Position” (Figure 41).

13.Do not use the Atwood brake actuator with a sway controller, unless prior Atwood Engineering approval of the sway control system has been received.

14.You are now ready to tow your pump.

CAUTION

Avoid sharp turns.This could bend, create extreme stress or fracture either the actuator or trailer tongue.

BACKING UP

1.Refer to the previous steps 1 through 14 for Towing.

2.Before backing up a slope or through soft ground, pull the trailer forward slightly to assure that the actuator socket is in the fully forward position.

3.Move the directional lever on the side of the actuator downward from the “TOWING” position along the curved slot in the actuator frame to the BACK-UP position (Figure 41). The slot has a notch at the bottom of its travel. Push the directional lever down to engage the locking notch.

4.Back the trailer up.

5.If the pump is to be uncoupled from the tow vehicle after backing with the lever knob engaged, block all pump wheels and pull forward slightly to take strain off of the actuator. Uncouple the actuator by lifting the release handle and raising the trailer tongue.Make sure the lever knob is in the “Towing Position” when uncoupling from the trailer.

CAUTION

Before towing the pump, always ensure that the directional lever (Figure 41) has been disengaged and is in the “Towing Position.”
