WARNING
• Frequently inspect the coupling components of the tractor and
trailer. Property loss, serious injury, or death may result if
damaged coupling components fail during trailer operation.
• Damage to the upper coupler or kingpin and any fasteners to the
adjacent trailer structure can compromise the structural integrity
of the trailer. Therefore, you must inspect the upper coupler and
kingpin for damage and immediately report any damage to your
supervisor before operating the trailer.
• Do not operate the trailer if you have not visually inspected the
upper coupler and kingpin to ensure proper coupling and locking
by the fifth wheel jaws. This visual inspection is mandatory and
required by law, as instances can occur when a pull test will not
dislodge an improperly coupled trailer. Listening for the lock to
close is insufficient as a test.
• When repairs are required, be sure a certified repair facility uses
certified fasteners identical to ones used by the original
equipment manufacturer, both in size and strength rating. Any
structural repairs to the upper coupler or installation of a
replacement kingpin must be done with extreme caution to
replicate the original structure.
