WARNING
Always inspect the fifth wheel for prop-
er locking after coupling the tractor to
a trailer. Failure to properly couple the
tractor to a trailer (the kingpin is en-
gaged in a closed lock jaw with the
lock jaw secured by a closed plunger)
may cause trailer separation which
could result in an accident involving
death or personal injury.
To lock the fifth wheel around the kingpin:
1.
Ensure trailer brakes are locked
and the landing gear is down.
2.
Back the tractor fifth wheel into the
trailer kingpin to engage and lock.

releasing the brakes, raising the landing
gear, and driving the vehicle.
