  • 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. Your trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR. Your truck has a towing capacity, a payload capacity, and possibly more.

  • Page 4: How Does Superglide Work

    HOW DOES 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 And Testing Clearance

    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: Maintenance

    LUBRICATION DO NOT OPERATE HITCH UNTIL YOU READ THIS SECTION! The SuperGlide hitch was designed to allow the Turntable Cam Arm Assembly to “glide” along two metal tubes, called the Way Tubes. Since it’s release in 1998, we have made several advancements in the design, strength, and durability of these components.

  • Page 7: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION DO NOT OPERATE HITCH UNTIL YOU READ THIS SECTION! WAY TUBES: Cover the tops and inside face of each Way Tube with WD-40. TURNTABLE SHAFT: Using a directional straw attached to the spray nozzle, direct oil between the openings in the Low Friction Polymer Wear Plates at both the front and rear.

    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.

  • Page 17: Adjusting The 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.
