WARNING

 

The slider is to be used with 5th wheel trailers weighing 

up to 20,000 lbs. Never use on trailers exceeding 20,000 lbs.

CAUTION

 

The slider will reposition your 5th wheel hitch 12" rearward. This will 

not guarantee complete truck cab / trailer clearance when towing.

Step 3

Pull the slider handle out until it locks open. See below. 

The slider should move smoothly fore and aft on the rails.

Note:

 When the slider is locked in its fore and aft positions, 

the lock bar handle will return to the starting position.

Step 2

Place the slider into the base rail slots and secure 

with the provided rail pins (#2) and clips (#3).

CAUTION

 

Be sure that all base rail pins are positioned as 

shown below and all clips are secured before towing.
