Operation Instructions
3. Fifth Wheel Intended Use
1. For pulling trailers with standard SAE
kingpins which are in good condition
and securely mounted or locked in
position in the trailer.
2. To transport loads that are within the
maximum fifth wheel rated capacities:
55,000 lbs. Maximum Vertical Load
150,000 lbs. Maximum Drawbar Pull.
3. In both on-road and off-road applications.
IMPORTANT: SAF-HOLLAND definition
of off-road refers to
terrain on which a
tractor-trailer operates
which is unpaved and
rough, or ungraded. Any
terrain not considered
part of the public
highway system falls
under this heading.
4. As recommended in SAF-HOLLAND
literature available at www.safholland.us.
4. Fifth Wheel
NON-Intended Use
1. Use with non-SAE kingpins, such as
kingpins which are bent, improper size
or dimensions, not secured to maintain
SAE configuration, or which are installed
in warped trailer bolster plates, or upper
coupler and fifth wheel lube plates
that do not maintain the SAE kingpin
dimensions. Refer to SAF-HOLLAND
Service Bulletin XL-SB004-01 (available
on the Internet at www.safholland.us)
for more information on fifth wheel
lube plates.
Failure to couple with a
proper kingpin may result
in improper coupling,
allowing tractor-trailer
separation, which if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
2. Tow-away operations which damage
or interfere with the proper operation
of the fifth wheel.
3. The attachment of lifting devices.
4. The transport of loads in excess of
rated capacity.
5. Applications other than recommended
in SAF-HOLLAND literature available at
www.safholland.us.
5. Coupling Preparation
NOTE: Follow the coupling and
uncoupling instructions
published in your Fifth
Wheel Owner’s Manual.
6. Operation Procedures
The Electronic Lock Indicator (ELI)
automatically turns on when the tractor
is started and remains on until the vehicle
is turned/shut off.
When the tractor is started, the display
first performs a short system check,
indicated by the brief illumination of
all three display icons.
