To maintain proper fifth wheel operation, always lubricate the fifth wheel after an inspection has been performed.

    Warning: Failure to properly lubricate the fifth wheel could result in a possible disengagement of the trailer from the tractor, which could result in personal injury or property damage.

    Important: Lubricate the fifth wheel:

    • After power washing, or steam cleaning.

    • If the vehicle operates in harsh conditions such as salt spray from road surfaces, or in extremely dusty environments.

    • After any service that requires removal of lubricant from the fifth wheel head or components.

  1. Using a water-resistant lithium-base grease, grease the top plate.
  2. Using a light oil (such as SAE 10W or 20W motor oil), lubricate the cam track and pivot. See Fig..

    Note: Use a light oil (such as SAE 10W or 20W motor oil) to lubricate the cam track and pivot.
