How to safely operate a B & W Patriot 16k 5th wheel hitch

I will be having a B & W Patriot 16k hitch installed later this week. I am replacing a R & W Lil Rocker 15k hitch. The Little Rocker uses a slide bar to secure the pin. I also have a Bed Saver install...

Doesn't get much easier than with a B&W.
Slide the handle towards the cab, back in correctly and the hand will move towards the tailgate when hitched. Walk around to plug the 7 pin cord in and check that the jaws are around the pin.
Reach in the bed and pin the handle.
Used a 16K Patriot for 6 years without one issue.
