engaged.

Operation of Coupler
The coupler installed on your trailer is of steel pipe
design and is adjustable in height to meet different
vehicle hitch heights (maximum extension is eight
inches). The coupler should be adjusted so that
your trailer is level when towed, not nose up or
nose down. To adjust the coupler, back towing
vehicle under the coupler. Level your trailer using
the trailer landing gear, then loosen the two
coupler set screws and lower the inner unit over
the tow vehicle hitch ball. Tighten the coupler set
screws to 125 foot pounds minimum of torque.
The coupler is now set to the correct height for
your vehicle. (Rev. 4-12)
CAUTION
Be certain that coupler lock handle is completely engaged
before towing trailer.

Fifth Wheel and King Pin Enagement (If equipped)
After hook-up, check for positive engagement of the lower fifth wheel and
king pin. Apply trailer brakes and attempt to move the tractor forward to
ensure that the fifth wheel and king pin are positively locked.
CAUTION
Plastic king pin liners (lube plate) cannot be installed on Wilson
Trailer Company king pin assemblies. A lube plate changes the king
pin interface dimensions of the fifth wheel lock. This may result
in coupling difficulties, premature lock wear and, potentially, a
dropped trailer
