Fifth Wheel Handle Adjustment
Figure 1
If the handle remains in the upright
position after uncoupling, (shown as
upper handle in figure), the nuts are
adjusted too tightly. Upon
uncoupling, the handle should fall
freely to the bottom of the slot
(shown as lower handle in figure),
allowing the handle to move inward
Figure 2
If the handle rests on the top of the
slow when fully coupled (shown as
upper handle in figure), then the
nuts are too tight. When fully
coupled, the handle should rest at
the bottom of the slot (shown as
lower handle in figure).
Note: It is necessary to use two wrenches to loosen/secure the standard and
jam nuts. Proper adjustment of the nuts will be achieved by following
these guidelines:
1) The standard nut should be fully tightened onto the handle's
capscrew.
2) Tighten the jam nut until it bottoms out on the end of the
capscrew.
3) Complete tightening by locking the standard nut against the jam
nut.
Recheck handle movement for proper adjustment.

Recommended Welding Locations
ALL TRAILER AXLES
The correct positioning of spring seat attachment welds is very important to the
structural integrity and load carrying characteristics of the axle beam. It is
important to note that different axle styles have different requirements. Attached
spring seats to the beam must be a controlled manufacturing process. Both the
seat and the axle must be properly positioned by assembly fixtures and then
welded in place.
Please refer to the following instructions for properly locating spring seats on
Rockwell trailer axles.
Round Axles
On round axles, the spring seats normally have full contact with the axle beam
and very little vertical load is transmitted to the
attachment weld. These welds carry the torsional loads
of the suspense and resist torsional braking loads. For
proper assembly, seats must be in full contact with the
beam, be parallel with each other, and be correctly
located in relationship to the top of the axle beam.
Important
On some suspensions, in particular trailing arm air rides and
rubber sphere types, torsional loads are transmitted through the
welds and into the axle during articulation. These applications require special
care when establishing welding locations. Contact the Rockwell Trailer Axle
Application Department for welding recommendations for each individual
application.
Rectangular, Square and Shaped Axles
Axle shapes, other than round, do not always allow full
contact of the spring seat to the axle beam. This
condition exists even though the seats are parallel to
each other and properly positioned. This condition
means that parts of the vertical load, as well as the
braking and/or suspension torsional loads, must be
absorbed by the attachment welds.

Trailer Axle Installation Instructions
The trailer axles must be installed in the vehicle so that they are parallel to the rear axle
of the tractor when the vehicle is moving forward in a straight line.
The center of the fifth wheel king pin and the center of the axles must be installed
at the center of the trailer floor. Figure 1
Use the following procedures to check the alignment of trailer axles:
Single Axle Trailers
Tandem Axle Trailers
1) Raise or lower the fifth wheel to put the
trailer in a level position.
2) Remove the outer wheels or the outer tires
and rims, depending on the wheel
equipment. (Figure 1)
3) Remove any parts from under the chassis
that can interrupt measuring the distances
between the king pin and the ends of the
axle.
4) Load the trailer to its rated capacity with
the load correctly arranged.
5) Attach a steel measuring tape to a hook
and the hook over the king pin. Measure
the distances "A" and "B" from the king pin
to the ends of the axle. The differences
between the A and B measurements must
not exceed 1/8" (3.2 mm).
1) Move the trailer forward and backward over a
level floor, two or three times with the last
movement forward, to permit the suspension to
become correctly aligned to center the front
and rear wheel tracks.
2) Raise or lower the fifth wheel to put the trailer
in level position.
3) Remove the outer wheels or outer tires and
rims of the forward axle only, Figure 2.
4) Remove any parts from under the chassis that
can interrupt measuring the distances between
the king pin and the ends of the forward axle.
5) Load the trailer to its rated capacity with the
load correctly arranged.
6) Attach a steel measuring tape to a hook and
the hook over the king pin. Measure the
distances "A" and "B" from the king pin to
the ends of the forward axle. The differences
between the A and B measurements must not
exceed 1/8" (3.2 mm).
7) Measure the distance "C" and "D" between the
front and rear axle centers. The differences
between the C and D measurements must not
exceed 1/16" (1.6 mm).
This small gauge can help you make the "C" and "D" measurements between the axle centers.
The gauge can be made of drill rod and must be rigid and true. The pointer arms of the gauge
must be parallel and held at the same height.
How To Correct The Alignment Of Axles
To correct the alignment measurements that are not within the limits, inspect the suspension for
worn, broken or loose parts. Adjustments to the suspension, and the replacement of worn or
broken parts, must be made to put the axles into alignment.
Carefully follow the service instructions made available by the trailer or suspension
manufacturer when you work on this component.
The limits of 1/16" (1.6 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm) are the maximum limits for correct alignment of
the axles. These small limits make accurate measurements.
