Step 5 - Maneuvering
Incomplete carriage cycle:
Return the carriage back to the previous position and reset the
handle. Check the locking bar is free-moving and clear of any debris.
Attempt to maneuver the carriage to the opposing lock position,
ensuring the handle returns to the locked position.
If handle does not reset:
Ensure the carriage has travelled to the opposing lock
position and manually reset the handle to the lock position.
Visually inspect the spring located under the cross tube.
Check the locking bar is free-moving and clear of any debris.
Step 4 - Installing the 5th wheel head
Periodically apply a light coating of grease to the the
surface of the half-round rails and penetraiting oil to the
locking bar (using the access holes on to the top side
of the cross tube) and the four hex bolts and rollers.
Prior to towing, ensure all components and hardware
are structurally sound and secure. Periodically check
the torque to ensure no fasteners have become loose.
