[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 2158813, member: 6408"] Looks pretty good to me. 'Cept #6...TO ME. Procedure may be diff but this is what I did: Keep air on front trlr. Pull down hand valve in cab. Go back and check pin connection on rear trailer and dolly. Don't do anything else until you check your rear trailer connection. If all is well, hook up rest of hoses/lines. Turn on yellow/red lines as you did. Why? You got your hand valve down. Nothing is going anywhere. I hook up all lines and turns valves while standing there lets me see IMMEDIATELY if there's any air leaks. And, yes, you ALWAYS drain air out of dolly. Not just on road behind tractor. We had some not do this and lock up in the yard. Then what do you do? YOU have to get out and drain air out. Takes 30 seconds. Just do it. OK, everybody else, now tell me how wrong this is and I'll REPEAT, this is what I did and never got writ up and it worked for 32 yrs of safe driving. [/QUOTE]
