CHALLENGE SOLUTION
Cannot open the Release Handle. You may have too much rearward pressure against the lock
mechanism. Back your truck slightly to relieve pressure and
continue the unhitching procedures.
If you have positioned the trailer jacks too high, your king pin will
be pulled up against the bottom of the jaw, not allowing the jaw
to rotate open.
Plate seems dry – Can I use a Teon pad? No. The Trailer Plate does not allow for any extra space for a pad.
Since the turning action is no longer at the king pin, you will
have minimal friction. A light coating of WD-40 or a light oil is
sufcient.
Trailer overhang is hitting the truck bed rails when
the trailer and truck are at sharp angles.
Most trailer king pin boxes have height adjustment settings
available to achieve the necessary clearance between the
truck bed rails and the bottom of the trailer. Adjust accordingly.
The latch handle mechanism seems too stiff to
operate.
Turn the plate upside-down and spray the locking mechanism with
WD-40. Work the handle until it slides freely. If the problem
persists, you may need to degrease and re-lube all working
parts.
I have attempted to unhitch at an angle greater
than 10 degrees, truck to trailer, and the hitch
will not release the King Pin.
Back into the King Pin, then using a probe, push the Lock Lever
forward until the Lock Catch allows the Lock Jaw Assembly
to rotate around the king pin. Retract the trailer jacks and
remove the wheel chocks. Maneuver the truck until it is lined
up within the 10 degree limit (see pg. 12). Perform unhitching
steps 1-6 on page 13.
Refer to #7 on page 17 for emergency situations during hooking
and unhooking your trailer.
I need to have a professional evaluate my
SuperGlide.
