An improperly coupled tractor and trailer may separate while
in use which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Do not use any fifth wheel that fails to operate properly. Failure
to properly couple tractor and trailer may allow separation
while in use which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
If you do not obtain a proper couple, repeat the coupling sequence.
