12. If the fifth wheel is to be mounted using
a mounting plate (bracket with mounting
base), refer to TABLE 1 for minimum
plate thickness recommendations.
DO NOT use U-bolts in fifth
wheel installations. Use only

Grade C lock nuts, sized 5/8"
minimum diameter. Failure to
do so may result in structural
failure of the installation with a
potential loss of the fifth wheel
assembly, mounting structure,
and/or trailer and may result in
death or serious injury.
