If you see or feel evidence of wear, such as flat spots, deformations, pitting or corrosion, on the
fifth wheel and kingpin, immediately have your dealer inspect them to determine the proper
action to prevent possible failure of the fifth wheel and kingpin system. All bent or broken fifth
wheel and kingpin parts must be replaced before towing the trailer.
7.2.6 Landing Leg or Jack
If a grease fitting is present, you must use a grease gun to lubricate the jack mechanism. Grease
the gears in the top of the hand-cranked jacks once a year, by removing the top of the jack and
pumping or hand packing grease into the gears.
7.2.7 Lights and Signals
Before each tow, check the trailer taillights, stoplights, turn signals, backup lights (if available)
and any clearance lights for proper operation.
WARNING
7.2.8 Accessory Battery
Your trailer may be outfitted with an accessory battery that operates lighting, electric landing
gear, slide-outs or other accessories. An accessory battery may be kept charged either by the
tow vehicles or by the generator or shore power. See manual for the accessory battery.
A disconnect switch may be provided to disconnect the accessory battery when you do not plan
to be using the trailer for an extended period, such as seasonal storage. If there is no battery
disconnect switch, then remove the cables from the battery terminals.
The accessory battery must be kept in a charged condition during storage. The battery could
freeze and break if it becomes discharged.
7.2.9 Tires
Before each tow, be sure the tire pressure is at the value indicated on the tire sidewall. Tire
pressure must be checked while the tire is cold. Do not check the tire pressure immediately
after towing the trailer. Allow at least three hours for a tire to cool, if the trailer has been towed
for as much as one mile. Replace the tire before towing the trailer if the tire tread has less than
1/16-inch depth or if the built-in wear indicator bars are visible and flush with the remainder of
the tire tread.
A bubble, cut or bulge in the sidewall can result in a tire blowout. Inspect both sidewalls of each
tire for any bubble, cut or bulge; and replace a damaged tire before towing the trailer.
For additional information regarding tire safety refer to Tire Safety brochure published by the
National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA). You can obtain a copy at:

Improper operating taillights, stoplights and turn signals can cause collision.
Check all lights before each tow.
