16. Slide Base Adjustment
NOTE: ILS slider locking plungers
DO NOT require adjustment.
Some HOLLAND ® slide bases are equipped with
adjustable locking plungers. Adjustment should
be performed at a minimum of every 60,000
miles or if excessive movement is noticed
when driving the vehicle. To obtain proper
adjustment, follow the following procedures:
1. Loosen lock nut and turn adjustment
bolt counterclockwise (Figure 41).
2. Disengage and engage locking plungers.
Verify that locking plungers have engaged
properly (Figures 42 and 43).
3. Tighten adjustment bolt until it contacts
the rack.
4. Turn adjustment bolt clockwise an
additional 1/2 turn, then tighten lock
nut securely.
If locking plungers DO NOT release fully to
allow fifth wheel to slide:
a. Check the air cylinder for proper
operation. Replace if necessary.
b. Check locking plunger adjustment as
explained above.
c. If a locking plunger is binding in the
plunger pocket, remove the locking
plunger using a HOLLAND
® TF-TLN-2500
spring compressor. Grind the top edges
of the locking plunger 1/16" (1.5 mm)
(Figure 44). Re-install and adjust the
locking plungers as explained above.
