Fifth Wheel Instructions
Unlocking the Fifth Wheel
Always check out the entire fifth wheel
equipment before attempting to couple to a
trailer (ASF fifth wheel is shown):
•
If not lubricated properly, add grease
to the top of the fifth wheel plate.
•
Make sure the mounting of the fifth
wheel to the frame is tight and in good
condition.
•
If using a sliding fifth wheel, make
sure the slide locking plungers are in a
locked position.
The following instructions are for preparing
the fifth wheel for coupling to a trailer:
