Coupling & Uncoupling第 6 / 60 题
After the tug test, why should you go under the trailer and look into the back of the fifth wheel?
a.To check the color of the kingpin
b.To confirm the fifth wheel jaws have closed around the shank of the kingpin
c.To measure the height of the landing gear
d.To grease the fifth wheel plate
解析
You should go under the trailer with a flashlight and look at the back of the fifth wheel to confirm the locking jaws have closed completely around the shank, not the head, of the kingpin. This visual check catches a false coupling that the tug test alone might miss. A gap means the coupling is not safe.
