Fifth Wheel Lubrication

cen dm 10.01.005

Warning: A standard fifth wheel plate must be kept lubricated to prevent binding between the tractor and trailer. A binding fifth wheel could cause erratic steering and loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.

The fifth wheel plate must be kept well lubricated with chassis grease to prevent friction and binding between the tractor fifth wheel plate and the trailer. For lubrication instructions, see Group 31 of the Century Class Trucks Maintenance Manual.
