Adjustment of Capture Plates on Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
How do you adjust the capture plate on 13k fifth wheel
asked by: Eugene
Expert Reply:
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550040 utilizes the same capture plates as the larger models. To adjust you will simply loosen the inside nut and then turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen or clockwise to tighten the capture plate to the pin box. When adjusted correctly, then tighten the nut to keep the plates tightly in place. I've attached a photo to assist and have also attached the installation details which state to measure your pin box width and set the capture plates 1/8 inch wider than the pin box measurement between the plates.
