General Safety Instructions
2. General Safety Instructions
Read and observe all Warning and Caution
hazard alert messages in this publication.
They provide information that can help
prevent serious personal injury, damage
to components, or both.
The Electronic Lock Indicator System (ELI)
installation and maintenance must be
performed by a trained technician using
proper tools and safe procedures.
IMPORTANT: The Electronic Lock
Indicator (ELI) is a
tractor-trailer fifth
wheel coupling aid
and is intended as
an additional safety
check to assure the
driver of a safe and
complete coupling. It
does not eliminate the
requirement for a visual
inspection of the fifth
wheel. Always get out
of the tractor cab and
visually inspect the
fifth wheel coupling
before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operation of the
fifth wheel you must be
thoroughly satisfied that
the fifth wheel has been
appropriately installed
on the vehicle.
Failure to properly install,
the fifth wheel may result
in tractor-trailer separation
which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
Refer to SAF-Holland Installation Manual
XL-FW10008IM-en-US (available on the
Internet at www.safholland.us) for proper
installation procedures.
