Module 3: Coupling and Uncoupling
Coupling Procedure
No-Slack E7000/E7000CC series Electronic Lock Indicator (SmartLock) E7000/E7000CC Series fifth wheels are equipped with internal sensors to detect components in the fifth wheel that confirm a proper couple. When installed and powered, a visual indicator on either a display box or integrated into the dash shows the status of the fifth wheel lock.
The dash indication provides an extra check to supplement the driver's visual inspection and pull test.
When the fifth wheel is ready to couple the "unlocked" indicator is illuminated in red (see FIGURE 12. If this is flashing, check to make sure fifth wheel is open prior to attempting couple.
When coupled a "locked" indicator in green illuminates and now can be verified with a "tug test" and visual inspection.
For all other troubleshooting, refer to TB-042 or the operator's manual for the integrated instrumentation.
