TrailerSaver Air-Ride TS3 Fifth-Wheel Hitch Maintenance Tips
Maintaining your air-ride fifth-wheel hitch is crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of your towing setup. Regular upkeep not only guarantees a smoother ride but also prevents costly repairs down the road.
Below are steps we recommend for maintaining your TrailerSaver TS3 5th-wheel hitch.
Check pivot bolt, located directly under head to ensure the nut is tight and not worn. Inspect this bolt once a year for excessive wear. If the hitch has more than 1/8” vertical play the bolt should be replaced. Nut should be tightened just enough to put pressure on the head so that it will not freely move side to side.
Apply a spray lubricant to the following parts of the head (we recommend a white lithium spray grease such as this one from Dupont):
Jaw Pivot Pins Locations
Protect the air springs from UV rays. Air springs may be treated with a rubber treatment to prolong life.
A TrailerSaver vinyl hitch cover is also recommended and you is easily available through the Hensley Website.
