the stationary fifth wheel assembly, carefully
review the "General Safety Information"
Section on page 3.
3.1 Bracket with Mounting Angle
1. HOLLAND brackets with mounting angle
®
are provided with the bracket welded in
the center of the 36" long angle with a 4"
minimum horizontal and 3 1/2" minimum
vertical leg size, and to a specific tractor
frame width. Verify that the bracket and
tractor frame width are the same.
2. In addition to the information given in
"Installation: General Recommendations"
on page 4, follow the recommendations
in Figure 1, 2, and 3.

wheel mounting angle
should seat flush on the
truck frame when mounting

mounting angle and to give
uniform weight distribution
along the truck frame rail
(Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Use 5/8" Grade 8 bolts and
Hardened steel washers or
flanged locknuts (Figure 1).

manufacturer charts.
