IMPORTANT: If your fifth wheel
operates in snowy or

lubrication should
be performed every

optimum operation.
12.A Proper Lubrication Method
1. Remove old grease and debris from all
fifth wheel-to-trailer contact surfaces.
Apply new water-resistant lithium-based
grease to all fifth wheel-to-trailer
contact surfaces (Figure 27).
2. Using water-resistant lithium-based
grease, lubricate (A) yoke tips where
contact is made with the locks and
casting, (C) cam profile, (E) yoke shaft
in area that slides in and out of the
fifth wheel casting, (F) secondary
lock where contact is made with the
cam plate, (G) release handle, and
(H) where contact is made with the
kingpin (Figure 28).
3. Using a light oil, lubricate (D) cam
pivot point (Figure 28).
4. Only if necessary, lubricate (B) lock pin
with Never-Seez ® (Figure 28).
