During inspection, where must the landing gear pads be located?

The proper position for landing gear pads during an inspection is that they should always be properly stowed away. This ensures that they do not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and minimizes the risk of accidents during transit. When the landing gear pads are stowed, they are securely positioned and out of the way, which helps maintain stability and structural integrity when the trailer is in motion.

If the landing gear pads were left exposed to dirt or in a stored position that is not secure, it could lead to complications such as wear and tear or even damage to the gear itself. Furthermore, if they were not properly secured, this could jeopardize the safety of the vehicle, allowing for potential hazards while on the road, such as the landing gear inadvertently deploying while driving. By ensuring that the landing gear pads are properly stowed, drivers can help protect the equipment from unnecessary damage and enhance overall safety during transport.
