are defined by federal and/or state Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Equivalent laws
could exist in other countries. This manual is written
based on the assumption that OSHA or other

All maintenance must be performed while
the tractor is uncoupled from the trailer.

These instructions apply to the proper rebuild
of FWAL/XA-AL Series fifth wheel top plates

IMPORTANT:
Prior to operation of the fifth wheel, verify that the
fifth wheel has been properly installed on the vehicle.

not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
