1. The following instructions should be used to mount the 5th wheel. Care and attention to detail will ensure a quick
quality installation. Check parts against parts list to become familiar with parts in kit. ( Figure 1 )

will provide maximum room to install the 5th wheel brackets.

and bed mats less than 1/4” thick will work with normal installation instructions. Note: Consult installer for

4. Use only CEQUENT TOWING PRODUCTS supplied bolts, nuts, and washers to install this kit. All bolts and nuts
are grade 8 unless specified otherwise.
