1. Lube feet with lithium grease for easier engagement as shown in Figure 6
2. Before each trip or maneuver, check to make sure both the Tee pin arms as well as the pull pin (included in
fifth wheel hitch hardware bag) are in place and have respective lynch pins locked in place.
3. Review operation manuals for both the fifth wheel hitch being used, and the corresponding Elite or Signature
Series mounting kit being used.
Pull pins have been replaced with
Heavy Duty attachment bolts,
locking arches and adapter
together. Included nylon lock nut
needs to be threaded until it
contacts the cross tube and there is
minimum gap between cross tube
and bolt head.
1. Remove bail pin / lock from the overlapping handle holes on each side of the adapter (Figure 3b). Store
bail pins.
2. Rotate (4) handles into unlocked position (parallel with cross tube, Figure 3a). Lift each side of adapter out
of pucks separately, handles may have to be worked slightly to align anchors with puck holes to remove.
3. Store adapter in dry place where dirt and debris will not get into anchor assemblies.
4. Press puck plugs (packed with mounting kit) into all (4) of the pucks in the truck bed to keep debris out of
pucks (Figure 4).

ADAPTER INSTALLATION:

2. Set REESE mounting adapter onto the pucks, and rotate handles into unlocked position (approximately parallel
with the cross tube, (Figure 3a) until adapter drops into pucks on all (4) corners.
3. Rotate (4) handles into locked position, with holes in the anchor handles coincidental with the hole in the fore-aft
tube (Fig 3b).
4. Place bail pins / locks through the overlapping handle holes on each side to anchor hitch into pucks (Figure 3b).
5. Use industry standard attachment pins to secure fifth wheel to adapter.
NOTE: If a trailer larger than 20,000 lbs is going to be towed with this adapter it is REQUIRED that the
included Heavy Duty attachement bolts are used in place of the standard attachment pins.
