Coupling & Uncoupling第 7 / 60 题
When should the locking jaws be closed around the kingpin?
a.Around the top head of the kingpin
b.Loosely, so the trailer can pivot freely
c.Around the shank of the kingpin, with no gap between the upper and lower fifth wheel plates
d.Only after the landing gear is fully lowered
解析
The locking jaws must close around the shank of the kingpin, and there should be no space between the upper and lower fifth wheel plates. If the jaws close on the head of the kingpin, the coupling can come apart. A gap between the plates indicates a bad coupling that must be corrected before driving.
