Loading And Unloading A Flatbed Trailer Secure the cargo to the trailer using appropriate straps, chains and tensioning devices. Refer to www.fmcsa.dot.gov for regulations regarding cargo securement rules. LOADING THE TD SERIES TILT DECK TRAILER The TD series tilt deck trailer is equipped with a latch on the left side of the trailer that keeps the trailer deck in the travel position. A control valve is mounted either on the front, or on street side of the trailer to allow the trailer to tilt. After the trailer is loaded and the cargo is secured with hold downs, be sure the latch is engaged and the control valve is in the “closed” position. Couple the trailer to the tow vehicle before attempting to unlock the deck and load the trailer. ! WARNING A tilt deck can pinch and crush. Keep away from the deck while tilting to avoid injury. Pull pin and push latch down to open (1) as shown below. 122 Deck Latch
