•Never place any part of your body in the truck bed or between the truck and the trailer
unless each and every one of the following conditions are met :

2. All trailer wheels are blocked on each side of wheel.
•Always perform "push test" or "pull test" by following the instructions in this manual.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1.
Fifth wheel trailers are typically designed for use with long bed (8 foot) trucks. These trucks provide ample turning
clearance between the truck cab and trailer front. Short bed trucks (less than 8 ft.) require additional turning
clearance to avoid truck cab or trailer damage during normal turns. This is best accomplished through the use of
a trailer pin box extension (see Figure 2). Cequent Performance Products, Inc. suggest the use of a minimum of a
13 inch pin box extension to be able to comfortably make normal turning maneuvers with a short bed truck.
Contact your trailer manufacturer or Cequent Performance Products, Inc. for pin box extension options.
Conventional Pin Box
Turning clearance is reduced when towing with a short bed truck! This can result in
the trailer striking the inside of the truck bed. Always monitor the truck cab and the
trailer clearance during turns. Failure to do so could result in significant property
damage.

The REESE
FIFTH WHEEL SLIDER is designed to be used with Cequent Performance Products, Inc. Fifth
WHEEL installations only. These installations are described in the Cequent Performance Products, Inc.

dealer for other installation instructions.
Never tow trailers on the highway or at high speed conditions with SLIDER in the
Maneuvering Position (rearward of the rear axle)! Towing with the trailer king pin
rearward of the rear truck axle can affect weight distribution and may interfere
with the towing vehicle's handling and response characteristics. Poor handling
and response characteristics could result in death or serious injury.
