Note: The universal wedge is supplied with the unit and provides a lockout for many different fifth wheel hitches.
Cequent Performance Products offers custom wedges designed for specific fifth wheel hitches, check with your
RV dealer of call CPP customer service at 1-888-521-0510 to see if we offer a custom wedge for your hitch
application for purchase. If a custom wedge is available for your hitch application, CPP recommends replacing
the universal wedge with a custom wedge to provide the best fit for your hitch. The universal wedge should
remain with the unit as it may be necessary if breakdown occurs to fit a tow vehicle other than your own.

3. Install the universal wedge into the position for the Revolution feature activation (figure 7) , in the proper
orientation for your fifth wheel. The bolts will not be fully tightened at this time. (figure 7) Only tighten the (2)
5/8-11 X 1 3/4” wedge bolts until the conical washers begin to engage. The wedge should be allowed to slide
with the rap of a hammer or mallet.
4. Apply grease to the surface on both sides of the wedge, the back side of the pin, and the skid plate surface as
shown in figure 7. *For all Fifth Wheel Heads, lubricate the area where the jaw passes under

6. With the trailer wheels still firmly blocked, landing gear still resting firm on the ground and supporting the trailer
weight, and truck stationary and in park with the emergency brake on: Tap the wedge firmly forward until it will
no longer travel. Look to see that the wedge is contacting both side of the funnel area of the hitch. If not is may be
necessary to pull trailer forward slightly with the trailer brakes applied to straighten truck hitch and pin box.
7. Attempt to tighten both wedge bolts. Both bolts may not be accessible while the unit is hitched, in these cases
tighten the most accessible bolt (usually the rear); these bolts will later be tightened to the proper torque
value.

used after this adjustment, it is necessary to readjust the wedge for the specific fifth wheel hitch.
