5TH WHEEL SLIDER HITCH
MOVE FROM TOWING TO MANEUVERING POSITION
1. Position truck and trailer in a straight line on a flat, level area.

4. Lower trailer landing gear so it is resting on firm ground.
5. Remove Lock Pin from Slider Assembly.
6. Rotate Handle to Unlocked Position-Straight Up. See Figure 9b.
7. Return to truck. Release emergency brake. Manually engage
trailer brake and pull truck forward until 5TH WHEEL Hitch
stops and engages in the maneuvering position
