OPERATION
357
Fifth Wheel Slider (Optional)
The fifth wheel comes standard with an air operational slider. To remain
within legal weight limits, this feature allows the driver to distribute the
load easily on the axles.
The air operated slider takes the work out of adjusting the tractor for
various trailer loads. The fifth wheel portion is easily adjusted, even
with a fully loaded trailer connected.
Movement between the adjustable saddle plate and the stationary
base plate rail can result in wear, causing longitudinal, latitudinal and
vertical slack. Field repairs can be made to reduce this slack for
additional service life.
