Where should you place the iron trailer supports before driving away?

Placing the iron trailer supports fully raised with the crank handle secured in its bracket is essential for safe operation. When the supports are fully raised, it ensures that they are not dragging along the ground while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause damage to the supports or create a risk of losing control. Additionally, securing the crank handle prevents it from becoming a distraction or a hazard while driving, as it minimizes the risk of it moving or becoming loose.

This practice is standard to ensure that all components are properly stowed and secured before driving. Other options do not meet the safety protocols needed for trailer operations. For example, if the supports are fully lowered, they could strike the ground, leading to potential accidents. Partially raised supports may not provide adequate clearance, also risking damage or stability issues. Leaving supports on the ground next to the trailer is not practical, as it leaves the trailer unsupported and poses a severe safety risk.
