9. Positioning Sliding
Fifth Wheels
NEVER reposition a sliding
fifth wheel while the
tractor-trailer is in motion
or on public roads. Failure
to avoid could cause loss of
vehicle control or tractor-
trailer separation which, if
not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
1.
Position the tractor and trailer, in straight
alignment, on firm, level ground clear
of obstacles and persons.
2.
Place the tractor into neutral and set
the tractor and trailer parking brakes.
Failure to stop and properly
lock the tractor and
trailer brakes could cause
uncontrolled sliding of the
fifth wheel which, if not
avoided, could result in
component damage to
the tractor or trailer.
3.
Release the slide locking plungers by
moving the cab switch to the unlock
position (Figure 23). If equipped with
manual slide release, pull the release
lever. If the plungers DO NOT come
out, lower the landing gear to relieve
pressure on the fifth wheel. This will
allow the fifth wheel to slide easier.
NOTE: Cab switch style may differ by OEM.
4.
Visually inspect and verify that the
plungers are disengaged.

5.
Release the tractor parking brake while
keeping the trailer brakes engaged.
6.
Slowly drive the tractor forward or
backward to position the fifth wheel.
Stop the tractor at the desired position.
