WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle un-
less
the locking plungers are
fully inserted into the fifth
wheel slide track. Operating
the vehicle while the plungers
are not fully inserted could
lead to the slide moving unex-
pectedly, resulting in a loss of
vehicle control and potentially
causing property damage, seri-
ous injury, or death.
9. If the landing gear was lowered,
raise the landing gear
.
10. If the rear suspension was
deflated, return rear suspension to
its normal height.
Fifth Wheel Lubrication
Frequently operate and lubricate movable
or sliding fifth wheels to prevent corrosion.
CAUTION
Both the fifth wheel plate and the slide
tracks
(if a slider) should be cleaned
and lubricated periodically to ensure
smooth
turning and sliding action. Fail-
ure to keep these surfaces lubricated
can lead to frame or driveline damage.
For maintenance information see Fifth
Wheel Monthly Maintenance on page 251
,
Fifth Wheel Bi-Annual Maintenance on
page 251 and Sliding Fifth Wheels on page
252.
Driving Tips and
Techniques
This section covers additional driving tips
and techniques on how to drive your
vehicle more efficiently.
Coasting
WARNING
DO NOT coast with the transmission in
neutral or with the clutch pedal de-
pressed, it is a dangerous practice.
Coasting in neutral may result in dam-
age to your drivetrain when you try to
re-engage the transmission. You could
lose control of the vehicle which can
lead
to an accident involving death or
personal injury.
Do not coast with the transmission in
neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed.
Besides being illegal and dangerous,
coasting is also expensive. It causes
premature failure or damage to the clutch
and transmission and overloads the brake
system. Coasting with the transmission in
neutral also prevents proper transmission
component lubrication. During coasting the
transmission is driven by the rear wheels,
and the countershaft gear (which lubricates
the transmission components by oil splash)
will only be turning at idle speed.
