Safety information The relevant safety regulations in your country (for example Health & Safety at Work) apply for working with sensor-enabled fifth wheel couplings and vehicles. The relevant safety instructions included in the vehicle and semi-trailer's operating instructions must also be complied with.
JOST fifth wheel couplings are specified to comply with Directives 94/20/EC and Regulation ECE R55-01 in class 50 and are to be used only in conjunction with kingpins of class H50 and class J mounting plates or comparable licensed equipment.
General Conversion work must be carried out by trained personnel in suitable workshops. Repair work is to be carried out using suitable tools and state of the art methods. Clean all parts thoroughly before assembly. Ensure that electrical plug connectors or compressed air connectors do not become soiled.
(see Section 5.2 and 5.3.1). Replace worn and faulty components (see Section 6 and To open the fifth repair instructions JSK 36/JSK 37 and JSK 40/JSK 42 on wheel coupling the JOST website at www.jost-world.com). Locking sensor cannot be switched. Check the magnet and sensor on the fifth wheel coupling handle (see Section 5.2 and 5.3.1).
