•Never place any part of body in truck bed or between truck and trailer unless the
following conditions are met :
•Truck is in park with emergency brake on, and
•Trailer landing gear is down and resting on firm ground, and
•All trailer wheels are blocked on each side of wheel
•Always perform "push" or "pull test" by following instructions in this manual.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. 5th 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. but longer than 6 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 Perfromance Products 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 for pin box extension options.
Conventional Pin Box
Turning clearance is reduced when towing with a short bed truck! This can result in
trailer striking inside of truck bed. Always monitor truck cab and trailer clearance
during turns. Failure to do so could result in significant property damage.
2. The Pro Slider is designed to be used with Cequent Performance Products 5TH WHEEL installations only. These
installations are described in the Cequent Performance Products INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BASE RAIL
MOUNTING KIT (P/N 30095 or P/N 30035). These instructions specify the exact placement of the base rails in
relation to the rear truck axle for most current pickup trucks.
3. The trailer king pin should always be directly above or slightly forward of the rear truck axle when towing. Trailers
should never be towed with the trailer king pin rearward of the rear truck axle in highway conditions (see Fig. 3).
