Page 3: System Weight Rating Vs. Component Weight Rating
SYSTEM WEIGHT RATING vs. COMPONENT WEIGHT RATING A towing system includes each vehicle and component involved in towing. Each item in your towing system has a capacity or weight rating. You trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. Your truck has a tow capacity, payload capacity, and possibly more. -
Page 4: How Does The Superglide Work
HOW DOES THE SUPERGLIDE WORK? The SuperGlide is an automatically sliding Fifth wheel hitch based on a mechanical, cam action. Other sliding hitches on the market today require you to get in and out of the vehicle multiple times before and after a turn, throwing levers to allow it to move back and forth. -
Page 5: Caution
SuperGlide. If your king pin is located too far under the nose of the trailer, the cam action of the SuperGlide may not move the trailer back fast enough to allow the necessary clearance. Call PullRite Customer Service at (800) 443-2307 with trailer width, make and year of truck, and the distance of the king pin from the leading edge of the trailer (Dimension A). -
Page 6: Base Rail Foot Assembly
BASE RAIL FOOT ASSEMBLY The Industry Standard SuperGlides are equipped with base feet that must be attached to the base rails by the installer prior to mounting the adjustable base unit. There are two groups of holes on each side of the base assembly that will allow you to move the Base Rail Foot Assemblies fore-to-aft, locating the trailer’s king pin over the axle. - Page 7 BASE RAIL FOOT ASSEMBLY 5. To minimize any forward and aft movement when towing, secure the feet as far apart, fore-to-aft, as the slot opening on the base rail will allow. If you still experience movement, consider loosening the base rail fasteners and tapping the base rails toward each other to achieve optimal positioning.

It is imperative that you read each of the following sections so you can learn how to care for your hitch properly. -

Page 12: Hitching
HITCHING WARNING: Never perform any of the following actions while any part of a person is between the vehicle and trailer. 1. Align your truck with the center of the trailer. The truck should be close to parallel to the centerline of the trailer. Hitching can only be accomplished when the tow vehicle and the trailer are aligned within 10°... -
Page 13: Safety Checks
SAFETY CHECKS 1. Shine a light on the Fifth Wheel Plate Lock Jaw Assembly making sure it has closed around the king pin. 2. Pull the Release Handle towards you without lifting it up. If the Lock Jaw Assembly is completely closed the Handle Catch will prevent you from being able to pull the Release Handle open. -
Page 14: Adjusting The Turntable Cam Arm Assembly
ADJUSTING THE TURNTABLE CAM ARM ASSEMBLY This adjustment will need to be made periodically. If you are experiencing a bump or “clunk” when starting or stopping, or if the hitch is sliding up and down the way tubes when you are not hooked up to the trailer you can perform this adjustment to reduce the noise and keep the hitch in the forward towing position when not trailering. -

Page 16: Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Can I pull other Fifth wheel trailers with my SuperGlide hitch? Your SuperGlide hitch can only pull trailers equipped with the SuperGlide Capture Plate. If you hook up to a trailer that does not have a Capture Plate installed, there is no control to keep the hitch in the forward towing position and the weight of the trailer will cause the head to turn and slam or “free fall”... - Page 17 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 7. Can I hook up or unhook at a 90 degree angle? Hooking up can only be accomplished when the truck and trailer are aligned within 10 degrees of each other. See “Hitching” on page 16 for more information on hooking up. Unhooking by pulling the release handle can only be accomplished when the truck and trailer are aligned within 10 degrees of each other.
