Connecting the air and electrical lines
Connect the air lines (service and emergency) and 7-way connector from the tractor to the air and electrical system connections on the trailer’s front wall.

CAUTION
To prevent air leaks in the gladhands, check for leaks, damage or wear on the rubber seal of the gladhands. In addition, to supply air to the trailer brake system properly, check if the filter screens on the rubber seals are clean and not blocked by contaminants.
NOTE • In case of any unexpected movement, wait for a few seconds after making the air connections. • Ensure the air lines are safely supported so that they are not crushed or caught when the tractor is backing under the trailer. • Ensure there is enough slack so that air supply lines and the 7-way connector are not disconnected.
