Avoid the accumulation of foreign matter onto the fifth wheel surface,
the same goes for the jaw lock mechanism.
Clean after each journey or trip, possibly by carrying out an accurate
cleaning session.

disuse;
Clean the operating handle, the coupling up area after having
opened and closed the operating handle (19c) as well as the
