ULS Hitch Operation Instructions
5998 ULS Alignment Procedure
The Hijacker “Ultra Slide” fifth wheel assembly allows you the convenience of moving your hitch placement without the incon-
venience of having to uncouple your trailer to do so. With its use of steel rollers to eliminate binding, it has an Ultra smooth
Slide.
Important Note: Never tow trailer in maneuvering or parking position.
To slide the hitch assembly from the towing position to the parking position, use the following procedure:
Place truck in park. If a padlock is on the locking bar, unlock and remove it.
1.
Pull out on the locking bar handle and pivot it to the left and align the bottom pin of the bar into the lower right hole.
2.
Return to cab of truck and with foot
3.
on the brake, put into forward drive
gear. Apply trailer brakes and slow-
ly pull forward with truck. If trailer
brakes do not hold the trailer from
moving, it may be necessary to place
wheel chocks to prevent trailer from
moving.
The hitch assembly will roll back
4.
towards the tailgate and come up
against the stops, and pin into the
holes in the base rail. The trailer is
now ready to maneuver into position
with sufficient cab clearance.
To return to traveling position, simply reverse the above procedure.
In the event that the locking bar is binding or out of alignment slightly, the following procedure has worked to eliminate this
occurrence should it happen.
Loosen off the bolts that attach the side
1.
plates to the saddle bracket and remove the
top 2 bolts from either side. Also loosen the
bolt that fastens the locking bars together at
this time.
Place the ½” flat washers in between the
2.
side plates and the saddle bracket on the top
2 bolt holes of each side and re-install the
bolts.
Make sure the hitch is sitting on a flat level
3.
surface and the locking bar is in the closed
position. Re-tighten the side plate bolts.
Re-tighten the locking bar bolt.
