  1. Apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
  2. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
  3. When the wheel blocks are in place, release the regular brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load.
  4. Apply the regular brakes and then apply the parking brake; slowly release the regular brakes.
  5. Shift into “P” position and shut off the engine.
