D: ADVICE TO DRIVERS 
ALWAYS un-couple and re-couple with trailer and tractor unit in a straight line. If this is not possible, then driver needs to take account of the angle the unit was uncoupled, and later attempt to re couple at the same angle. This is most important on trailers with non self-alignment.

THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR CHASSIS DAMAGE. 
DO NOT MOVE TRAILER UNLESS BODY IS COMPLETELY LOWERED.
