Maintenance Procedures
11.B As-Needed Lubrication
Maintain lubrication on fifth
wheel-to-trailer contact surfaces.
Use a water-resistant lithium-based
grease. Clean grease grooves if a
large amount of debris is present.
Clean and lubricate locking mechanism
if operational difficulties arise during
the service life of your fifth wheel
(i.e. problems with coupling, uncoupling,
or pulling the release handle).
12. Slide Base Lubrication
NOTE:
Slide base should be moved fore
and aft at least once a year to
maintain optimum performance.
IMPORTANT:
If equipped with air
release, lubricate air
cylinder every three (3)
months or 30,000 miles.

position, clean with penetrating oil
and a clean shop towel
