Introduction

•Safety is of paramount importance in both installation and use of the Husky 16K S

Hitch System. Observe all "Cautions" and "Notes" found in this manual, as well as

common sense precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and others.

•Caution: The Husky 16K S is recommended for use only in truck beds 6 feet or

longer. A Husky EZ Roller combined with a 16K S Hitch is recommended for short

bed truck of less than 8 ft but longer than 6 ft.

•For best results, it is recommended you have your Husky 16K S system (31313

and 31314) professionally installed by a qualified technician.

•The Husky 16K S 5th Wheel Hitch System is designed to tow 5th Wheel Trailers

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.

Page-5

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support / Product Updates.

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

wheel trailer.

Place shim on either side

as needed

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.

WARNING

Page-10

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support / Product Updates.

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!

WARNING

Page-11

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support / Product Updates.

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.

WARNING

Page-12

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support / Product Updates.

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

weight 3 from weight 2 and this is the measured GAW of the rear axle of the truck

and must not exceed the GAWR of the rear axle found on the VIN plate. Weight 3 is

also the GAW of the 5th Wheel; this weight should not exceed the GAWR on the plate

on the 5th Wheel.

Page-19

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support / Product Updates.

Summarizing Weighing

GCW (Truck & 5th Wheel Trailer) = weight 1

GAW of front axle (Truck) = weight 1 – weight 2

GVW (Truck) = weight 1 – weight 3

GAW of rear axle (Truck) = weight 2 – weight 3

GAW of axles (5th Wheel Trailer) = weight 3

EXCEEDING ANY WEIGHT RATING IS HAZARDOUS. OVERLOADING OF TRUCK AND/OR 5th

WHEEL TRAILER CAN LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE, BRAKE FADE AND OVERHEATING OF THE

TRUCK ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. OVERLOADED VEHICLES ARE MORE UNSTABLE AND

UNPREDICTABLE EVEN IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
