8. Verify this adjustment by locking and unlocking several
times using the Lock Adjustment Tool; check for proper
locking (See Figure 3A and Figure 3C).

the adjustment tool when verifying adjustment, check to
make sure the lock is engaged in both steps (Figure 3A).
If the lock is only engaged on one step, repeat Step 2 (on
previous page), of the Adjustment Procedure until the lock
engages on both steps. (See Figure 3A.)

Using an overadjusted fifth wheel can cause
improper locking of the fifth wheel. If the fifth
wheel does not operate properly, DO NOT USE IT! An improperly
coupled tractor and trailer may separate while in use which, if not
avoided, could result in DEATH or SERIOUS injury.
Repeat the adjustment procedures or contact your nearest
Holland representative for assistance.
