FIFTH WHEEL INSTRUCTIONS
Fifth Wheel General Information
DANGER
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:
•
Check the load distribution between axles.
•
Always chock the trailer wheels.
•
Grease the plate unless it is a low lube or no lube top plate.
•
Verify visually that coupling has occurred.
•
Verify visually that plungers have locked on slider.
•
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.
