What should you do with the electrical cord after disconnecting it during uncoupling?
- A.Stow the plug securely on the tractor so the cord does not drag, get run over, or fill with dirt and moisture
- B.Leave it dangling from the trailer
- C.Drop the plug end on the ground
- D.Coil it around the air lines on the ground
Correct answer
A. Stow the plug securely on the tractor so the cord does not drag, get run over, or fill with dirt and moisture
Why
A dragging cord is quickly destroyed and an open plug corrodes. Stowing it properly keeps the next coupling quick and the lights working.
