Safety instructions The relevant safety regulations in your country (Health & Safety at Work, for example) apply to work 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 Regulation ECE R55 in class 50 and may be used solely in conjunction with kingpins of class H50, steering wedges and mounting plates of class J, or com- parable licensed equipment.
General Conversion work must be carried out by trained personnel in suitable workshops. Repair work must be carried out using suitable tools and state of the art methods. Instructions for assembly are indicated by a diamond (◊). The assembly is in reverse order if not described separately. The torque values shown in the illustrations are required for the subsequent assembly process.
Check the magnet and sensor of the fifth wheel coupling handle (see Sections 5.2 and 5.3.1). Replace worn and faulty components (see Section 6 and repair instructions for JSK 34/JSK 36/JSK 37/JSK 40/JSK 42 on Fifth wheel the JOST website at www.jost-world.com).

Sensor function test 5.3.3 Checking the semi-trailer sensor The sensor's function LED points downwards when installed. The LED can then be observed with the help of a mirror. To do this, slide a mirror to left (arrow A) next to the right pedestal between the fifth wheel coupling plate and the mounting plate.
Repair work ATTENTION! Worn, damaged and cracked parts must always be replaced. Repair welds must not be used. After completing the repair work, the entire fifth wheel coupling lock- ing mechanism must be greased and its function tested. With the diagrams the work steps should be car- ried out in alphabetical order (e.g.
