IMPORTANT: Fifth wheels that operate
in snowy or icy winter
conditions, lubrication
should be performed
every spring in addition
to routine lubrication
(as noted on the previous
page) to ensure
optimum operation.
13.A Proper Lubrication Method
1. Using water-resistant lithium-based
grease, lubricate (A) swing lock-to-hook
contact areas directly or through the lube
tube grease fitting, and (B) camtrack
(Figure 29).
2. Using a light oil, lubricate (C) hook pin,
and (D) release handle pivot (Figure 29).
13.B As-Needed Lubrication
„ Clean and lubricate locking mechanism
if operational difficulties (i.e. problems
with coupling, uncoupling, or pulling the
release handle) arise during the service
life of the fifth wheel (Figure 29).
14. Slide Base Lubrication
NOTE: Slide base should be moved fore
and aft at least once a year to
maintain optimum performance.
IMPORTANT: If equipped with air
release, lubricate air
cylinder every three (3)
months or 30,000 miles
whichever comes first.
1. With the piston shaft in the exposed
position, clean with penetrating oil
and a clean shop towel (Figure 30).
ILS Sliders: Spray spring covered piston
shaft thoroughly with penetrating oil
(Figure 31).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any abrasives
on the exposed shaft as
they could damage the
piston shaft.
