General Safety Instructions
2. General Safety Instructions
Read and observe all Warning and Caution
hazard alert messages in this publication.
They provide information that can help
prevent serious personal injury, damage
to components, or both.
The Electronic Lock Indicator System (ELI)
installation and maintenance must be
performed by a trained technician using
proper tools and safe procedures.
IMPORTANT: The Electronic Lock
Indicator (ELI) is a
tractor-trailer fifth
wheel coupling aid
and is intended as
an additional safety
check to assure the
driver of a safe and
complete coupling. It
does not eliminate the
requirement for a visual
inspection of the fifth
wheel. Always get out
of the tractor cab and
visually inspect the
fifth wheel coupling
before proceeding.
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.
Only SAF-HOLLAND Original Parts should
be used.
A list of SAF-HOLLAND technical support
locations to supply SAF-HOLLAND Original
Parts can be found at www.safholland.us
or contact our customer service group at
1-888-396-6501.

fifth wheel you must be
thoroughly satisfied that
the fifth wheel has been
appropriately installed
on the vehicle.
Failure to properly install,
the fifth wheel may result
in tractor-trailer separation
which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

Operation Instructions
3. Fifth Wheel Intended Use
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:
55,000 lbs. Maximum Vertical Load
150,000 lbs. Maximum Drawbar Pull.
3. In both on-road and off-road applications.
IMPORTANT: SAF-HOLLAND definition
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.
4. As recommended in SAF-HOLLAND
literature available at www.safholland.us.
4. Fifth Wheel
NON-Intended Use
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.
Failure to couple with a
proper kingpin may result
in improper coupling,
allowing tractor-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. Applications other than recommended
in SAF-HOLLAND literature available at
www.safholland.us.
5. Coupling Preparation
NOTE: Follow the coupling and
uncoupling instructions
published in your Fifth
Wheel Owner’s Manual.
6. Operation Procedures
The Electronic Lock Indicator (ELI)
automatically turns on when the tractor
is started and remains on until the vehicle
is turned/shut off.
When the tractor is started, the display
first performs a short system check,
indicated by the brief illumination of
all three display icons.

Operation Instructions
After the system check, one of three
displays will appear:
t5IFEJTQMBZJOEJDBUFTBZFMMPXGJGUI
wheel icon when the fifth wheel is
in the proper position for coupling.
There is not a kingpin in the fifth
wheel lock and the fifth wheel
lock mechanism is in the unlocked
position (Figure 3). Follow the
coupling procedure in the Fifth Wheel
Owner’s Manual that came with your
fifth wheel.
NOTE: If you will be traveling without
a trailer, this display will remain
lit for approximately seventeen
(17) minutes before turning
off. The display will turn back
on during the next coupling
process, or the next time it is
turned on.

properly coupled to a trailer kingpin.
The kingpin is in the lock at the proper
height and the lock mechanism is
fully closed in the locked position
(Figure 4). Proceed with a visual
inspection. The display will remain lit
for approximately eight and one-half
(8-1/2) minutes before turning off.
