Question:
Has a grease fitting top of lubrication plate. Aside from periodic lubing here - Is there anything else I should do. Thank you.
asked by: Jon D
Helpful Expert Reply:
Aside from following the "Before Each Trip" (page 2) and "Lubrication" (page 3) in the installation instructions, the only other things you should do for maintenance are the following:
Recheck tightness of all hardware every 1000 miles of use. All 3/4” bolts have a torque specification of 260 ft.lbs., and 1” jam nuts should be box wrench snug plus 1/4 turn.
Anchor assemblies should be lubed every 6 months with lithium grease to keep assemblies moving freely.
These instructions can be found on page 15 of the linked instructions for the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30922.
