kingpins which are in good condition
and securely mounted or locked in
position in the trailer.
2. To transport loads that are within the
maximum fifth wheel rated capacities:
FWS1-50,000 lbs.
FWS2-55,000 lbs.
Maximum Vertical Load
150,000 lbs. Maximum Drawbar Pull.

IMPORTANT:
SAF-HOLLAND definition
of off-road refers to
terrain on which a
tractor-trailer operates
which is unpaved and
rough, or ungraded. Any
terrain not considered
part of the public
highway system falls
under this heading.
4. As recommended in SAF-HOLLAND
literature available on the internet at
www.safholland.us.
4. Fifth Wheel
NON-Intended Use
1. Use with non-SAE kingpins, such as
kingpins which are bent, improper size
or dimensions, not secured to maintain
SAE configuration, or which are installed
in warped trailer bolster plates, or upper
coupler and fifth wheel lube plates
that do not maintain the SAE kingpin
dimensions. Refer to SAF-HOLLAND
Service Bulletin XL-SB004-01(available
on the Internet at www.safholland.us)
for more information on fifth wheel
lube plates.
Failure to couple with a
proper kingpin may result
in improper coupling,
allowing tractor and trailer
separation, which if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
2. Tow-away operations which damage or
interfere with the proper operation of
the fifth wheel.
3. The attachment of lifting devices.
4. The transport of loads in excess of rated
capacity.
5. In off-road applications.
6. Applications other than recommended
in SAF-HOLLAND literature available on
the Internet at www.safholland.us.
5. Coupling Preparation
1. Prior to coupling you must inspect the
fifth wheel and mounting.
Tighten loose fasteners.
Replace missing fasteners.
Repair/replace missing, cracked or
otherwise damaged components.
Clean grease grooves if a large
amount of debris is present.
Lubricate fifth wheel-to-trailer contact
surfaces if needed.

If you have a sliding fifth wheel, make
sure both plungers are fully engaged.
Inspect air line connections.

appropriate position for weight
distribution on the tractor. For
