Hitching Procedure

Before hitching to a trailer, make sure your 5th wheel height is correct.

Information on how to properly set the height of your 5th wheel hitch can be found in the Leg Installation Instructions.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury

1) Make sure truck and trailer is in position to couple

A. Truck tailgate is lowered if necessary

B. Blocks/Chocks are firmly against each trailer wheel to prevent any possible forward or rearward motion.

C. Pin box is at correct height for hitching (fig. 12 & 13).

D. Make sure head is in Ready-to-Receive position (pg. 4, fig. 9) by pulling the handle out fully

until an audible “CLICK” is heard

2) Back truck slowly into trailer so the trailer king pin and 5th wheel funnel align. When the indicator turns completely green, the

trailer king pin is securely held by the 5th wheel jaw (pg. 4, fig. 10).*

3) Perform Pull Test –

A. With trailer wheels still firmly blocked, trailer landing gears firmly on the ground supporting trailer weight, and trailer

brake on, make sure no one is between the truck and trailer.

B. Try to pull trailer slowly forward. If trailer is properly hitched, proceed to Step 4. If trailer is not properly hitched,

trailer will separate from hitch, and truck will move forward -repeat steps 1 thru 3.

4) Insert bail pin into lock hole, as shown in figure 14.

5) Connect electrical cable and breakaway switch cable between truck and trailer, raise tailgate if necessary.

6) Remove chocks/blocks and lift trailer jacks.

*Jaw may not close if under compression. If fully backed into trailer and not fully latched, pull truck slowly forward to remove load on jaw. Handle

7. Due to variations in truck underbeds, it is normal for some handles to be loose and other handles to be too tight to lock. If a

handle appears too loose and rattles or cannot be closed fully, remove the cotter pin and adjust castle nut by hand to a

position where handle does not rattle or is able to close.

8. Once handle adjustment is satisfactory, re-insert cotter pin and bend end with pliers to hold in place. Additional cotter pins

are provided in the hardware kit for your convenience.

9. With Ram Leg T-Pin handles locked and T-Pins securely held in underbed structure, tighten each 5/8” hex-head bolt to

210 ft-lb of torque.

10. Verify that hitch is tight to truck bed by lifting each side of the hitch.

11. Assemble head to center section per instructions included with M5 Center Section and Head.

Finger tighten castle nut only!
