PLATE ASSEMBLY
1.
Remove the Fifth Wheel Plate from the Rocker arm and place it upside down on a smooth, clean surface.
2.
Insert the Release Handle into the obround hole of the plate as seen above.
3.
The Lock Bar Spring must be placed inside the handle prior to placing the handle down over the pin of the Lock Bar
assembly, “catching” the hook inside the handle around the pin.
4.
Push the handle and spring assembly down past the groove in the pin of the Lock Bar assembly, and place one of the
Pin Clips in the groove of the pin to fasten.
5.
Grip the body of the spring and stretch it far enough over the opposite pin (welded to the plate) and push it down
past the groove.
6.
Install the Push nut to secure the Lock Bar Spring onto the welded pin.
Also, it is imperative that you study and adhere to the Maintenance procedures provided in the Owners Manual.
NOTE
: The 1901 plate for the #1900 Super 5th does not use a push nut to attach
the end of the spring, but rather a slot in the side of the fifth wheel plate located
above the obround hole. See illustration to the right.
As a PullRite fifth wheel hitch owner, it is important for you to study and manually
operate the Fifth Wheel Plate and Release Handle to better understand the locking
action. A better working knowledge of the plate will help prevent accidental
dropping of your trailer due to incorrect hitching.
