GUIDELINES FOR MATCHING HITCH TRUCK AND TRAILER
WARNING:
Failure to follow all of these instructions may result in death or serious injury
INDEX
Ensure that this hitch is properly rated for your 5
th
wheel trailer. Please consult Section F of assembly
instructions to verify proper ratings as noted in index F-1 on page 9.
BEFORE EACH TRIP:
1. Lubricate skid plate surface of the hitch and pivot pin grease fitting (see Figure 1) with automotive type chassis grease or
use a plastic lubrication plate to provide a lubricated surface. Use lithium grease to lubricate pivot point of moving parts
within the hitch. (see Figure 2, 3, and 4)
2. Plastic lubrication plates (Towing Products No. 83001/40001) can be used to avoid messy grease. The plastic lubrication
plate must not exceed 3/16 of an inch in thickness to ensure hitch will operate properly. Lubrication plates must be 12
inches in diameter or larger to properly distribute king pin weight.
3. Before each trip or maneuver, operate the handle and check that the jaw opens and closes freely.
4. See that all hitch pull pins (# 13, Figure 33) are in place and the spring retaining pins (#14, Figure 33) are installed
(Figure 1). Note that hitch pull pins used with the hitch are 90 degree bent pins and if replacements are needed, please
contact Cequent Performance Products. Check that all four anchor assembly handles are lynch pinned/locked through
base arch shell.
