edges shall be ground smooth to prevent point loading.
10. When required to clear obstructions, cutouts in the
mounting angles shall be smooth and straight with a
minimum radius of 1" (25.4mm). No sharp corners
are permitted and all edges shall be ground smooth. A
minimum of two bolts is recommended beyond a
cutout.

between the fifth wheel and any other component
when rear of fifth wheel is depressed. In order to
prevent this, it is recommended that a stop be used.
The stop should be positioned so that contact is made
with the fifth wheel mounting plate.
12. Do not restrict normal rock of fifth wheel. This could
create a hazardous operating condition.
13. All fifth wheels subjected to weather abuse must be
thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and lubricated prior to
installation.
14. Fifth Wheels should be mounted in the proper
orientation relative to the tractor (See Figure B ).
Do not
mount the fifth wheel upside down or
