Re-engage the slide locking plungers
by moving the cab switch to the lock
position (Figure 26). If equipped with

10. Retract the landing gear legs, if lowered.
11. Verify that the slide locking plungers
have been re-engaged by performing a
pull test (Figure 29).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the
vehicle if the plungers are
NOT fully engaged (locked).
Failure to properly engage
the plungers and slide
base could cause loss of
vehicle control which, if
not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
10. Fifth Wheel Maintenance
IMPORTANT: All maintenance MUST be
performed by a properly
trained technician using
proper tools and safe
procedures.
IMPORTANT: All maintenance MUST
be performed while the
tractor is uncoupled
from the trailer.
Failure to properly maintain
the fifth wheel could
result in tractor-trailer
separation which, if not
avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
