Prior To Installation
*Check the Truck Payload and Trailer Weight as defined in Appendix A
(Checking Truck & 5th Wheel Trailer Weight Rating). Never Overload
Truck, Trailer or Hitch.
*This Hitch requires Pre-Installed Base Rails which are bolted through the
Bed of the Truck into brackets which in turn are fastened to the Truck
Chassis. DO NOT INSTALL HITCH BY FASTENING TO THE FLOOR OF THE
PICKUP BOX. The Pickup Box Floor is not strong enough to carry the
loads imposed by the trailer
*This 5th Wheel Hitch is rated for a MAXIMUM Pin Weight of 4,000 lbs and a
MAXIMUM Trailer GVW of 16,000 lbs. Exceeding Maximum ratings may
result in death, serious injury or property damage.
The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the King Pin (Dim
X) should be 4” greater than one-half the trailer width (Dim Y)
If towing with a short bed truck (less than 8ft but longer than 6ft.) Husky
Towing recommend the use of a Husky EZ Roller for increased turning
clearance at slow maneuvering speeds.
Do not install this 5th Wheel Hitch in a Pickup truck that has a bed shorter
than 6 ft. Towing with this combination of a short bed and 5th Wheel Hitch
could damage the truck and/or trailer. Serious injury or death could occur.

Assembly & Installation Procedures
1. Hitch Assembly
a) If using pre-existing base rails, ensure that the center to center (fore and aft) distance
is 22” and that there are two pairs of slots in the base rails that are 20 5/8” apart (side
to side). Otherwise contact your local dealer for proper base rail selection and
installation.
b) Place the uprights into the base rails with the decals facing the rear of the truck.
Secure the uprights to the base rails using the ½ inch diameter rail pins and secure
using the large hairclips included in the hardware bag.
c) With the Warning Label of the cross member facing to the driver side of the truck, slide
the cross-member assembly downward over the uprights. Determine the mounting
holes needed to obtain the proper height of the hitch head, and from the inside insert
the four 1/2" diameter bolts into the appropriate cross member mounting holes and
thru each body side. Note: inserting the bolts from the inside will put the lock
nuts on the outside of the cross member, this will ensure that the proper torque
will be applied to the lock nuts.

d) Shims 32043 are provided to adjust crossmember and uprights. Use only if needed
for proper alignment.
e) NOTE: See page 10 for complete height adjusting instructions.
IMPORTANT: The ideal centerline location of the 5thWheel Hitch should be positioned
between 1” and 3” forward of the Center of the Rear Axle once installed in the base rails.
This position may be limited by your specific base rail installation. Always verify this
information before towing down the road and also confirm that you will have adequate
turning clearance between the back of the truck cab and the nose of the 5
th
wheel trailer.

There is another visual aid that indicates if the hitch head is closed and locked. This is
shown in the picture below with a green shaft that protrudes from the side of the hitch
head. If the king pin has been correctly installed into the mouth of the hitch head the slide
bar will close, the red indicating sleeve will disappear and the green indicator pin will
protrude out as shown below. Cross member, uprights and base rails removed for clarity.
At no time should both the green and red indicator be showing, if this is the case there is
damage to the hitch head and it should not be used. Carefully inspect the hitch for any
damage, also confirm that the handle is installed correctly according to the assembly
instructions in this manual.

Operating Instructions
About Your Husky 16K S
The Husky 16K S 5th Wheel Hitch System is designed to tow 5th Wheel Trailers with a
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating up to 16,000 lbs. Do not exceed the rated capacity as it will
create an unsafe towing condition. It has a 4-way swivel head, its height is adjustable from
14 to 17 inches in one-inch increments and is removed from the bed of the truck by pulling
4 rail pins.
Preparing For First Use
Your Husky 16K S 5th wheel system is now installed and you're anxious to be on your way
down the road. You're almost there but take a few minutes to ensure your hitch is set up
properly for your truck/coach combination by following the steps below.
1. Verify that the cross member is set at the proper height to provide a minimum of 6"
clearance between the bottom of the trailer nose and the top of the truck bedsides and
allows for a level-towing attitude of the 5th Wheel Trailer (See Figure 1 below).
Figure 1
With top face of head level measure up to top of pickup box (dimension Y in Figure 1). On
the trailer measure up from the face of the pin box to the underneath of the trailer
(dimension X in Figure 1). Measurement X less measurement Y gives the amount of
clearance between the top of the pickup box and the underneath of the trailer.
At a minimum this should be 6”, if the trailer and tow vehicle are going off-road then this
needs to be 8” to 10”.
If this dimension is less than 6” DO NOT USE THIS TRAILER WITH THIS TOW VEHICLE.
Severe damage may occur to both the pickup box and the trailer.

2. If necessary, adjust the cross member to the proper height, ensuring the fasteners are
re-torqued to 75 ft. lbs.
3. Ensure the 5th Wheel Trailer wheels are blocked front & rear & that the rear stabilizer
jacks are fully retracted.
4. Also make sure the 5th Wheel Trailer landing leg feet are on a stable surface.
5. With hitch head level, set trailer king pin box ½” to 1” below hitch so trailer will ride up
and onto hitch. Back Up the truck under the trailer so the king pin enters the hitch.
6. Rotate the handle of the hitch 180 degrees so that the handgrip is pointing straight up
& pull the handle out until the slide bar is held open by the king pin trip mechanism.
The handle shaft has a red indicating sleeve to provide a quick visual reference that
the handle is not closed. You should also note that the green indicator pin is not
protruding from the side of the hitch head.
7. Slowly back the truck so that the bottom plate of the king pin box slides onto the 5th
wheel plate & the king pin slides fully into the throat of the hitch head. Set the parking
brake of the truck & place the transmission into park.
8. Visually verify the slide bar has closed behind the king pin and the king pin box is
resting on the 5th wheel plate. Positively lock the slide bar by rotating the handle
clockwise so the handgrip is pointing straight down at the bed of the truck. The red
indicator sleeve on the handle shaft should not be visible when correctly hitched up
and the green indicator shaft should be protruding from the side of the hitch head.
9. Never back the tow vehicle under the trailer king pin and then lower the king pin into
the hitch. This will result in high pinning and will result in hitch damage and possible
vehicle damage, injury or death!

2021 Keystone Automotive Operations Inc. All Rights Reserved. 08/05/2021-Rev8
NEVER LOWER THE KING PIN INTO THE HITCH
USING THE TRAILER JACKS. THIS IS A VERY
DANGEROUS PRACTICE AND WILL RESULT IN THE
KING PIN SITTING ON TOP OF HITCH INSTEAD OF
INSIDE. THE TRAILER COULD THEN BECOME
DETACHED FROM THE TRUCK DURING TOWING
CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY INJURY
OR DEATH.
10. Before towing perform a tug test as follows: Ensure the landing gear of the 5th
Wheel Trailer are extended to the ground, chock the tires, and attach the electrical &
breakaway connectors to the proper receptacles in accordance with your 5th Wheel
Trailer owner's manual. Then apply the trailer brakes, and slowly try to pull the trailer
forward. The trailer should prevent the truck from moving.
11. Remove the blocks from the wheels of the 5th Wheel Trailer; fully retract the trailer
jacks and double check that the hitch is properly attached to your tow vehicle.
Uncoupling Your Trailer
1. Block your 5th Wheel Trailer wheels front & rear.
2. If necessary, start your truck & back up against the king pin to relieve pressure on the
slide bar. Set the parking brake, put the transmission into park and then turn off your
vehicle.
3. Extend the landing gear of the 5th Wheel Trailer until the weight of the 5th Wheel
Trailer is just off of the 5th wheel plate of the hitch. Do not exceed 1/16" gap between
the bottom plate of the king pin box and the tabletop of the hitch. Caution: Raising
the 5th Wheel Trailer too high while still connected can damage the hitch head
as well as components of your 5th Wheel Trailer. Do not extend the rear
stabilizers of the 5th Wheel Trailer prior to or during uncoupling.
4. Disconnect the electrical and breakaway connectors in accordance with your 5th
Wheel Trailer owner's manual. With the rubber grip of the handle pointing straight
down towards the bed of the truck, pull it straight out and then rotate it straight up to
lock the handle in the out position.
5. You are now ready to pull your truck slowly away from the 5th Wheel Trailer.

DO NOT TRIP THE HITCH MECHANISM BY HAND AS THIS CAN RESULT
IN INJURY . IN NORMAL OPERATION LEAVE THE HITCH OPEN UNLESS
IT IS COUPLED TO A TRAILER.
ALWAYS PULL ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE HITCH BEFORE
COUPLING THE TRAILER.
Maintenance
1. After coupling, always visually check that the slide bar has closed completely across
the rear of the king pin and that the red indicator sleeve on the handle shaft is not
showing. Also confirm that the green indicating pin is “popped out” from the side of the
hitch head. IMPORTANT! Both indicating features should never both be
showing when you are done hitching up for travel.
2. After the first 100 miles, and at least once a year thereafter, inspect all bolts for proper
tightness. Retighten nuts if needed. All fasteners ½” diameter, torque to 75 ft-lbs.
3. Once or twice a week when traveling, apply a few drops of lubricant to the top of the
pivot pin collar. The pivot pins hold the tabletop or "horseshoe" in place on the hitch
head and can be found by locating the hex head bolts on the front and rear of the hitch
head.
4. Once or twice a year, apply a light coating of wheel bearing grease to the surfaces of
the slide bar that holds the king pin in place. For best results, apply the grease with the
slide bar in the closed position. Caution: The slide bar can close with heavy force.
Use extreme care to keep fingers, hands, extremities & clothing out of the path
of the slide bar. Failure to do so could result in severe injury.
5. Periodically inspect your Husky 16K S for wear or damage. If excessive wear or
damage is found, contact your installing dealer or HUSKY technical support staff at
www.huskytow.com or 1-877-544-4449.
6. Husky Towing Products recommends the use of a lube disc, contact your local Husky
dealer to purchase one

TOWING TIPS
Driving Tow Vehicle
Good habits for normal driving need extra emphasis when towing a trailer. The additional weight of the trailer affects
acceleration and braking. Extra time should be allowed for passing, stopping and changing lanes. Signal well in advance of a
maneuver to let other drivers know your intentions. Severe bumps and badly undulating roads can damage your towing vehicle,
hitch and trailer, and should be negotiated at a slow, steady speed. If any part of your towing system “bottoms out” or if you
suspect damage may have occurred in any other way, pull over and make a thorough inspection. Correct any problems before
resuming travel.
Turning and backing up present new problems-plan ahead. It is highly recommended that a spotter be used when backing up
to alert the driver of possible obstacles and prevent jack knifing the trailer.
Towing a trailer will change your turning radius, the longer the trailer the larger radius turn.
Driving Conditions
When driving in conditions where the pavement is wet, icy, snowy, loose gravel, grass and dirt, reduce speed and do not make
any sudden maneuvers. Allow ample distance/time for stopping and changing lanes. If possible, wait for road conditions to
improve before driving.
Follow all state, local and provincial driving and towing laws in the location you are driving in.
Not following your tow vehicle, trailer, and Husky instructions/manuals can result in a fatal accident.
Check Your Equipment
Please refer to the MAINTENANCE section. Periodically check the condition of all your towing equipment and keep it in top
condition.
Tire Inflation
Unless specified otherwise by the towing vehicle or trailer manufacturer, tires should be inflated to their manufacturer’s towing
recommendations.
Towing Vehicle and Trailer Manufacturers Recommendations
Review the owner’s manual for your towing vehicle and trailer for specific recommendations, capacities and requirements.
Passengers in Trailers
Trailers should not be occupied while being towed. Most states enforce this regulation.
Trailer Lights, Turn Signals, Electric Brakes
Always hook up all of the trailer lights, electric brakes and break-away switch connection whenever trailer is being towed. Also
periodically check functionality of all lights before towing and repair any problems as needed.
Trailer Loading
Proper trailer loading is very important. Heavy items should be placed close to the floor near the trailer axle centerline. The
load should be balanced side to side and firmly secured in the trailer to prevent shifting.
Remove Hitch When Not Towing
Remove hitch from receiver on towing vehicle when not towing a trailer to reduce chances of striking hitch on driveway or other
objects and reduce the chance of parts being stolen.
Maintenance (All products)
Keep hitch ball or gooseneck lubricated when used.
When not in use, remove ball mount, shank or gooseneck ball and store in clean, dry place.
Keep hitch ball, gooseneck, receiver and 5th wheel clean and lubricated.
Lubricate the bars and trunnion bar holes on a weight distribution hitch.
At The Beginning of Every Towing Day (All Products)
Clean hitch ball or gooseneck ball and coat lightly with grease.
Lubricate the top plate and moving parts of your 5th wheel hitch before coupling.
Check for worn or damaged parts. Check the torque of all hardware.
Check to see that all electrical hook-ups are in working order and that the safety chains are securely connected.
If electric brakes are used ensure the emergency break away cable is attached to the tow vehicle.
Towing safely is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle. Failure to tow safely can result in vehicle damage, bodily injury or
death.

Appendix A
Weighing Truck and 5th Wheel Trailer.
Weigh the Truck and 5th Wheel on a public weigh scale. Public weigh scales can be found
at Some Truck Stops, or they can be located from Yellow pages or on the Internet.
Weigh the Truck and 5th Wheel in 3 stages as shown in the sketch.
Step 1, Weigh the both the Truck and 5th Wheel. This is weight 1; this will give the
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) of the Truck and 5th Wheel Trailer. The GCW must
not exceed the GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) for the Truck. The GCWR
of a truck depends on engine size, transmission, rear axle ratio, tow package and
other factors. The manufacturer or dealer will be able to find the GCWR from the VIN
(Vehicle Identification Number) of the truck.
Step 2, Drive the front wheels of the truck off the weighing platform. Weigh the rear
wheels of the truck and the 5th Wheel Trailer wheels. This is weight 2, Subtract
weight 2 from the weight 1; the result is the GAW (Gross Axle Weight) for the front
axle of the truck. The GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) for the front axle can be
found on the VIN plate on the driver’s side door pillar, the measured front GAW must
not exceed the front GAWR on the VIN plate.
Step 3, Drive the rear wheels of the truck off the weighing platform; this should leave
only 5th Wheel Axles remaining on the weighing platform. This is weight 3, Subtract
weight 3 from the weight 1 and this is the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of the truck.
The measured GVW must not exceed the GVWR found on the VIN plate. Subtract
