front of throat directly, or through the lube tube grease fitting
located near the front left side of the fifth wheel.

1. With the handle in the “Highway Use” position, the cable should be moderately
tight and not sagging excessively. If the cable is loose, rotate the turnbuckle to
tighten the cable.

Use” position several times to confirm that the pins are extending and retracting, as
described on page 8. Also confirm that the cables are not binding or being pinched.
