Failure to follow all the

operating procedures contained in these instructions may result in a hazardous condition which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

These instructions apply to the proper operation of your fifth wheel only. There are other important checks, inspections, and procedures listed in the Owner’s Manuals for your tractor and trailer that are necessary, prudent, and/or required by law.

1. For pulling trailers with standard SAE kingpins which are in good condition and securely mounted or locked in

position in the trailer.

2. To transport loads that are within the maximum fifth wheel rated capacities: SE-55,000 lbs. II SE– 70,000 lbs. Maximum Vertical Load

of off-road refers to terrain on which a tractor-trailer operates which is unpaved and rough, or ungraded. Any terrain not considered part of the public highway system falls under this heading.

: SAF-HOLLAND definition

Failure to couple with a

proper kingpin may result in improper coupling, allowing tractor and trailer separation, which if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

2. Tow-away operations which

damage or interfere with the proper operation of the fifth

wheel.

3. The attachment of lifting devices.

4. The transport of loads in excess

of rated capacity.

5. In off-road applications.

6. Applications other than

recommended in SAF-HOLLAND literature available on the Internet at www.safholland.us.

4. As recommended in SAF-HOLLAND literature available on the internet at www.safholland.us.

1. Use with non-SAE kingpins, such as kingpins which are bent, improper size or dimensions, not secured to maintain SAE configuration, or which are installed in warped trailer bolster plates, or upper coupler and fifth wheel lube plates that do not maintain the SAE kingpin dimensions. Refer to SAF-HOLLAND Service Bulletin XL-SB004-01(available on the Internet at www.safholland.us) for more information on fifth wheel lube

plates.

1. Prior to coupling you must inspect the fifth wheel and

mounting.

• Tighten loose fasteners.

• Replace missing fasteners.

• Repair/replace missing,

cracked or otherwise damaged components.

• Clean grease grooves if a

large amount of debris is present.

• Lubricate fifth wheel-to-trailer

contact surfaces if needed.

• Inspect fifth wheel

mechanism. Lubricate dry or rusty components.

A minimum of 1/16” free play is

critical to proper operation of the fifth wheel.

If there is not 1/16” minimum freeplay in the lock, the fifth wheel lock adjustment pin must be rotated counterclockwise to the next lower position. Reverify that 1/16” minimum play exists using 1/16” drill bit as described above. Check that the fifth
