Be sure to keep all parts of your body away from the moving parts of the fifth wheel. Next,
remove the clamps that hold the roller wheel into a raised position.
Be sure that the overhead hoist is supporting the top plate. Using a long pry-bar, slowly force the
roller wheels into a down position. Use the chain hoist as a brake to keep the fifth wheel plate
from lowering too fast.

When the 5
