Safety information The safety information is compiled in one section. Where the user Safety information for installation of the fifth wheel coupling is in danger, the safety information is Do not change the installation area defined by the manufacturer of the tractor repeated in the various sections and marked with the danger unit.
Proper usage Utilization The maximum load data for JOST fifth wheel couplings are set out on the type plate and the appropriate JOST catalogue sheets. If they are subject to dynamic Fifth wheel couplings provide the link between the tractor unit and the semi-trailer.

Operation To open the fifth wheel coupling Try a test drive-off in a low gear. Check the locking mechanism (see section 3.5). Connect the supply lines. Lift the catch (1). Retract the landing gear as described in the operating manual. Release the parking brake and remove the chocks.
Clean the fifth wheel coupling and the skid plate. Grease the fifth wheel plate, lock parts and king pin. Grease specification: High-pressure grease (EP) e.g. Jost high-performance lubricant (Art. No. SKE 005 670000) Grease the pivot bearing and the upper surface of the fifth wheel coupling...
Excessive play causes shocks and may lead to instability on the road and damage to the fifth wheel coupling, mounting plate and vehicle chassis. JOST fifth wheel couplings have a manual infinite adjustment facility for the locking mechanism to extend their service lives.
Servicing and testing Locking mechanism wear limit To adjust the locking mechanism Lock nut Locking bar Adjusting screw Handle The locking mechanism has reached its wear limit if the distance e between the Lockjaw Kingpin side of the outer bearing plate and the engagement mechanism (1) on the handle (2) is 45 mm.
Servicing and testing To maintain and replace the wearing ring and lockjaw 80Nm Socket head cap screw Pull handle Wearing ring Lock jaw compl. (Tension spring) Pivot Lockjaw Unscrew the socket head cap screw (1) (Notice the torque value when tightening).
Please note: the rubber parts in the pedestals must be taken out before welding. welding. The details of welding method see the JOST standard JWN001. Note The fifth wheel coupling must be able to move freely and must not be in contact with either the mounting plate or parts of the chassis or flitch when the vehicle is Please note: The retaining sheets are turned side after mounting.
