COMPONENT
Lug Nuts
Coupler
Fifth Wheel Hitch
MAINTENANCE
Lug nuts must be checked at 10,
25 and 50 miles (15, 40 and 100
kilometers) when your travel
trailer is new or a tire is re-
moved and every 3,000 miles
(5000 kilometers) thereafter. In
addition, the lug nuts should be
checked periodically for safety,
especially before long trips,
extensive braking, or tire
changes.
Tighten the lug nuts to 90-120
ft. pounds torque using a cross
tighten sequence:
5 stud = 1-3-5-2-4;
6 stud = 1-4-2-5-3-6;
8 stud = 1-5-3-7-2-6-4-8.
Use a small quantity of lubri-
cant on the moving mechanism
and all points of movement in
the actuator to insure ease of
operation.
Use conventional grease on the
hitch ball for ease of operation.
• Inspect all joints and links
for tightness to prevent loss.
Design is such that bolts and
nuts can be tight and still
function properly.
• Lubricate all moving parts of
fifth wheel for proper
operation.
• Grease top surface of wheel
to eliminate wear and
facilitate easier turning.
• Before coupling to trailer,
inspect all moving parts of
fifth wheel. Replace all bent
or worn parts.
• Thoroughly inspect
every 1,000 miles (1600
kilometers).
• Ensure that all installation
bolts and nuts are tight.
