Operating the Fifth Wheel Slider
The trailer must be stopped and the trailer brakes
locked, or damage to the tractor and/or trailer may
result from uncontrolled sliding of the fifth wheel.
Stop the tractor and trailer in a straight line on level ground.
Lock the trailer brakes by pulling out the Trailer Supply knob.
Release the slide locking plungers by moving the switch to the
“UNLOCK” position (press down the latch and push in the bottom part
of the switch).
Check to see that both of the slide plungers have released. If the
plungers do not come out, lower the landing gear to relieve the
pressure on the plungers. Lowering the landing gear will also allow the
fifth wheel to slide easier.
