FOR INSTALLATION WITH
M5 MOUNTING LEGS
This unit is designed to need very little maintenance and be one of the quietest on the market.
In order to ensure long term performance, it is recommended to lubricate as indicated below;
1. Apply grease to skid plate surface, to provide lubricated surface for attachment to trailer.
Note: Plastic lube plates can be used to avoid messy grease. Plate must not exceed 3/16" in thickness to ensure hitch
works properly. REESE 5

2. Apply grease to 5 wheel jaw and/or kingpin on the trailer.
1. Apply grease via the grease fitting on the top of the unit. (Grease needle required). Head comes pre-greased
2. Apply spray-on lithium grease to internal mechanisms - rotate handle a few times to distribute the lubricant.
Note: May need to wipe down unit to remove large debris before application of grease.
3. Greasing the pivot assemblies can easily be done with a grease gun that has a needle adapter installed.
4. The pivot assembly resistance is preset at factory. If head pivots and makes noise when trailer is not attached, adjust the
resistance by tightening pivot bolt 1/2 turn at a time (2 full turns max.). See figure 9B.
5. The pivot assembly can be rebuilt if required. Instructions to do this will be in rebuild kit.
