gear by using the switch or by turning the crank handle
(if equipped) to raise the jacks off the ground as far as
possible.
A lubrication point of major importance is the contact
area where the pinbox plate rests on the hitch saddle. A
liberal quantity of grease is often used on this surface,
but that can be messy. After-market lubrication pads
are also available, which can be attached to the pinbox
plate to eliminate the need for grease. A typical type of
lubrication pad is a thin sheet of graphite impregnated
Teflon that is riveted to the pinbox plate. When using
lubrication pads make it a matter of routine maintenance
to inspect for pad wear. Before and after each trip, all
nuts, bolts, safety pins and other hitch related hardware
should be inspected.

USE OF A GOOSENECK ADAPTOR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
STRUCTURE OF YOUR FIFTH WHEEL AND WILL VOID YOUR LIMITED

• Inspect the kingpin box mounting bolts at least every
2,000 miles. Using a torque wrench, tighten kingpin
box bolts to 60-70 ft. lbs.
• Inspect the kingpin latch plate and saddle to make sure
there is no evidence of excess wear or damage.
• Inspect the kingpin, pin-box plate and saddle to make
sure there is no evidence of excess wear or damage.
• Lubricate the latch bolt and pivot point of the latch plate
with SAE 30 oil at least every six months.
• Grease the load-bearing surfaces of the fifth wheel
hitch with lithium based grease every 2,000 miles of
operation to reduce wear and provide easier turning.
As an alternative, use a grease-free lubrication pad
between the hitch saddle and the pinbox plate.
• Inspect and clean the hitch latch plate before each use.
• Grease the pivot points between the rails and hitch with
lithium-based grease every 2,000 miles of operation.
• Replace all worn or damaged parts.
Electrical Connection
Plug the pigtail on the vehicle into the electrical harness
on the truck. Be sure there is enough slack to allow the
vehicle to turn without disconnecting the pigtail. Make
sure all lights and the brakes work prior to moving the
vehicle. Current draw should not exceed ten amps for
each designated light circuit. The tow harness wires are
coded as follows:
1. White, 8 gauge – Ground
2. Blue, 12 gauge – Brake
3. Green, 14 gauge – Clearance Lights
4. Black, 14 gauge – Charge Line
5. Red, 14 gauge – Left Turn
6. Brown, 14 gauge – Right Turn
7. Yellow, 14 gauge – Aux
NOTICE
WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO OPERATE 12V ITEMS IN THE RV THROUGH
A TOW VEHICLE CHARGE LINE, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO
THE HIGH POWER CONSUMPTION OF SOME ITEMS.
