Maintenance
1. After coupling, always visually check that the 5
th
wheel jaw or slide bar has closed completely across
the rear of the king pin and that the indicators are working properly.
IMPORTANT! All indicating features must work when you are done hitching up for travel.
2. After the first 100 miles, and at least once a year thereafter, inspect all bolts for proper tightness. Re-
tighten nuts if needed.
3. Once or twice a week when traveling, apply a few drops of lubricant to the pivot areas of the hitch.
4. Once or twice a year, apply a light coating of wheel bearing grease to the surfaces of the slide bar that
holds the king pin in place. For best results, apply the grease with the slide bar or jaw surfaces of the
5
th
wheel in the closed position.
Caution: The 5
th
wheel jaw or slide bar can close with heavy force. Use extreme care to keep
fingers, hands, extremities & clothing out of the path of the slide bar. Failure to do so could
result in severe injury.
5. Periodically inspect your product for wear or damage. If excessive wear or damage is found, contact
your installing dealer or HUSKY technical support staff at www.huskytow.com or 1-877-544-4449.
6. Husky Towing Products recommends the use of a lube disc, contact your local Husky dealer to
purchase one.
