Does B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3300 Require Lubrication Before Use
Question:
Good Morning, I ordered a B and W Companion Hitch the other day and its due for delivery tomorrow. Do you recommend lubricating the zerk on a brand new companion or is it ready to go after assembly? Also should I use any lubricant on the poly bushings? Thanks in advance.

Helpful Expert Reply:
When installing your new B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 the only lubrication required is a light application of standard automotive chassis grease like # L11316 on the hitch jaws and the top surface of the hitch head; alternatively you can use a lube plate.
After about 6 months of use you will want to grease the saddle through the grease zerk fitting.
Please refer to the linked instructions for more information.
