Release the trailer parking brakeThis was the right answer

Follow the actual coupling procedure. HSE’s sequence includes releasing the trailer parking brake after connecting the lines and raising the legs, then checking the complete outfit, lights and brakes. This is not a substitute for the earlier visual locking check and controlled tug test.
