Maintenance Procedures
5. Re-engage slide locking plungers by
moving cab switch to the lock position
(Figure 15). (If manual slide release
equipped, trip release arm to allow
plungers to retract.)
6. Retract landing gear legs if lowered.
NOTE: Follow instructions published by
landing gear manufacturer for
proper operation of landing gear.
7. Verify that slide locking plungers have
been re-engaged by performing a
pull test. Lock trailer brakes and pull
forward with tractor to make sure fifth
wheel does not slide (Figure 16).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the vehicle
if the plungers are not
fully engaged (locked).
Failure to properly engage
plungers and slide base
may cause loss of vehicle
control which, if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
9. Fifth Wheel Maintenance
IMPORTANT: All maintenance must be
performed by a trained
technician using proper
tools and safe procedures.
IMPORTANT: All maintenance must
be performed while the
tractor is uncoupled
from the trailer.
Failure to properly maintain
your fifth wheel could result
in tractor trailer separation
which, if not avoided, may
result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: Removal of the fifth wheel top plate
is not required for maintenance
but may be required when
performing repairs.
