21. Fifth Wheel Slide Switch
The release must never be operated while the
vehicle is operating on the road. Fifth wheel
position adjustment must only be done when
stationary. Damage to the fifth wheel, trailer
kingpin and slider may occur if not operated
properly and may lead to an accident, causing
serious personal injury or death.
The sliding fifth wheel uses an air-operated release mechanism and is
used for distributing loads more favorably between the front and rear
axles to comply with varying state and provincial laws. Depress the
latch and press in the bottom part of the switch to release the slider
locks. See “Operating the Fifth Wheel Slider” on page 379 for correct
operation.
