Owners manual

The R16 roller is to be used with 5th wheel trailers weighing
up to 16,000 lbs. Never use on trailers exceeding 16,000 lbs.
CAUTION: The R16 roller will reposition your 5th wheel hitch
12" rearward. However, this will not guarantee complete truck
cab/trailer clearance when towing.
Step 1
Before beginning assembly of the R16 roller, check
the base rails in your truck to be sure they are properly
installed and are parallel with each other. The diagonal
dimensions should be the same, see Figure 2. With the
base rails correctly positioned, the assembled R16 roller
will drop into the slots on the top surface of the base rails.
