Understanding the Safety Features of your New HUSKY 5
th
Wheel.
This Husky 5th Wheel Hitch has new features which add to the safety and ease of
operation. The most important feature to understand is that the Hitch will only fully close
when the King Pin of the 5th Wheel Trailer is located correctly inside the Hitch.
Before using this 5th Wheel Hitch for the first time, the Operator needs to understand the
operation of the safety features of this Hitch.
Pull the Handle fully out, and then let it slide back while pushing it gently forward towards
the cab of the truck to miss the latch. The Hitch should partially close.
B) Looking at the front of the Hitch, the indicator should be as shown in the sketch above.
C) Using a Stick, (Keep fingers out of Jaw area) press on the Trigger Plate located
underneath the Jaw. Pressing on the Trigger Plate will release the jaw mechanism and it
will fully close. The Lock Hasp Indicator should now show that the Jaw is closed.
