FIFTH WHEEL INSTRUCTIONS
Fifth Wheel General Information
Always have all fifth wheel maintenance and
repairs done by a qualified technician. An
incorrect repair can cause the trailer to separate
from the tractor causing an accident with serious
personal injury or death.
Things to think about with trailer hook-up:
앫 Check the load distribution between axles.
앫 Always chock the trailer wheels.
앫 Grease the plate unless it is a low lube or no lube top plate.
앫 Verify visually that coupling has occurred.
앫 Verify visually that plungers have locked on slider.
앫 Check for slack between the fifth wheel and the trailer kingpin.
Follow the instructions on the advisory labels attached to the various
manufacturers’ fifth wheels. An operator’s manual for each fifth wheel is
provided in the Owner’s package.
