10.

Place the unassembled fifth wheel saddles/slider/goose into the already installed mounting rail. Position the second mounting rail
with the saddles/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail tight towards the other
mounting rail. Ensure that the mounting rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. This will
position the mounting rail in the correct location and ensure that the fifth wheel will have a snug fit to the truck. NOTE: If more
than one hitch product will be used with the rails then both should be used at the same time to align the second rail. This will
ensure that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
