Reese 56005 OUTBOARD CUSTOM QUICK INSTALL KIT - Manual (Page 2)

 Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the
way to provide metal to metal contact. Mounting rails may be installed on spray in liners.
 Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit. All nuts & bolts are Grade 8 unless
otherwise specified.
 These instructions are guidelines only, actual installation is the responsibility of the installer
and the owner. Always measure truck and trailer before installing fifth wheel hitch to be sure
that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns.
