Maintenance Procedures
Failure to maintain proper
fifth wheel adjustment
could result in loss of
vehicle control which, if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
1. If fifth wheel is locked, pull release
handle all the way out to unlock fifth
wheel (Figure 29) (if equipped with
a manual secondary lock, first pull
secondary release handle and hook
on casting). If air release equipped,
actuate fifth wheel control valve to
open lock .
2. Set lock tester on fifth wheel top plate
(Figure 30).
3. To lock fifth wheel, rotate handle on
lock tester clockwise (Figure 31).
4. With locks closed around lock tester,
position adjustment nut on yoke shaft
so that it is slightly compressing
rubber washer making it difficult to
turn by hand (Figure 32).
5. Turn adjustment nut one additional
full turn clockwise to further compress
rubber washer (Figure 32).
IMPORTANT: Excessive movement
between the tractor and
trailer can effect vehicle
handling.
NOTE: To obtain proper fifth wheel
adjustment SAF-HOLLAND
recommends use of Holland lock
