PullRite SuperGlide 2700 - Hitching Procedure

Page 10
WARNING: Never perform any of the following actions while any part of a person is between the vehicle and trailer.
1. Align your truck with the center of the trailer. The truck should be close to parallel to the centerline of the trailer.
Hitching can only be accomplished when the tow vehicle and the trailer are aligned within 10° of each other (see
below).
2. Block the trailer wheels so the trailer will not roll back.
3. Lower your tailgate and back up until there is about 6” of clearance between the SuperGlide hitch and the end of the
Capture Plate (sold separately and installed on your trailer’s king pin plate). Raise or lower the front of the trailer so
the bottom of the Capture Plate is aligned slightly above the beginning of the ramp area of the Fifth Wheel Plate. This
procedure will cause the front edge of the Capture Plate to “ride up” the ramp and atten or tilt the hitch plate into a
parallel position.
CAUTION: If this procedure is not followed, the king pin may bind in
the plate mechanism and not lock-in properly. Following the
procedure as outlined in Step 3 will ensure that you will not “high
hook” the king pin in the plate. “High hooking” occurs when
backing your hitch into a trailer that is set too high, resulting in
the lower ange of the king pin to wedge itself against the metal
edge of the lower horseshoe piece or against the Lock Jaw
Assembly. Damage to the Lock Jaw Assembly may result and
not allow smooth operation of the closing mechanism.
4. The Fifth Wheel Latch must be in the open position (see illustration on
pg. 10). Lift and pull out on the Release Handle to open the Lock Jaw
Assembly.
CAUTION: Damage will result should you attempt to hook up with the Lock
Jaw Assembly in the closed position.
5. Back up the truck in one uid motion, so the king pin enters the center of the Fifth Wheel Plate {A} opening.
6. Make sure the Lock Jaw Assembly is completely seated around the king pin.
7. Be sure that the Release Handle has fully returned to the closed position and proceed to “Safety Checks” on pg. 13.
