(see Figures 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E):
Holland Foot Mount fifth wheels are an outboard mount application intended for
installation on flat or corrugated mounting plate.
In addition to the information given in “Installation: General Recommendations” on
page 3, the following sequence should be followed when installing your
foot mount fifth wheel:
1. Bolt the outboard mounting angle to the truck frame following the
recommendations in FIGURE 1C. The top of the mounting angle must be flush with
the top of the tractor frame. The mounting angle should be 1” longer than the
mounting plate. The minimum angle size requirements are as follows: 3˝
horizontal leg, 3-1/2˝ vertical leg, & 36 inches long. For angle thickness and
material requirements see “Installation: General Recommendations” on page 3.
2. Reference FIGURE 1B for proper mounting hole location requirements.
3. Securely position the mounting plate and fifth wheel on the
outboard mounting angles.
4. Bolt the mounting plate and fifth wheel to the outboard angle
as shown in FIGURES 1D, and 1E.
