Lubricating the fifth wheel of a tractor

For safe, trouble-free trailer operation, regularly inspect the fifth wheel of your tractor and lubricate it according to the fifth wheel manufacturer’s guidelines.

CAUTION

Closely inspect and lubricate the fifth wheel if you hear metallic screeching or a growling noise while coupling the tractor with a trailer.

™ NOTE The internal design and operation mechanism of the fifth wheel may differ depending on the manufacturer, and the required lubrication and lubrication intervals may also vary.
