2-1. TRAILER CONTROLS AND INDICATORS.
(ARMY) The only indicators on the flatbed trailer are the stop lights, tail lights, and the blackout light assembly. These
lights are powered and controlled from the towing vehicle through a trailer cable. The plug on the cable (figure 2-1 ) and
the receptacle make the system operational. The two air hoses connect to the towing vehicle brake system with glad-
hand connectors (figure 2-2). When the trailer is not connected to the towing vehicle, the connectors are stowed on
dummy couplers on the trailer to prevent damage and contamination.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to move trailer without releasing air brakes.
