CAUTION

HAZARDOUS FUMES

• Adequate ventilation must be provided when welding.

PRODUCT DAMAGE

•

Coupler latching mechanism must operate freely after welding installation.

• Do not clamp ground strap to latch during welding.

WELDING INSTRUCTIONS

• M.I.G. OR STICK-Attach couplers with 5/32˝ fillet weld minimum.

• M

.I.G. WELDING

-Use A.W.S. ER 70S-3 or 6 wire or equivalent with a diam-

eter of .035 - .045. The recommended shielding gas mixture is 75% -

95% Argon & 25% - 5% CO

• STICK WELDING - Use E6011 A.W.S. welding rod or equivalent.

Recommended machine settings for specific electrode diameter are as

follows: 1/8” electrode set power between 115-130 Amps DC or 5/32”

electrode set power between 140-160 Amps DC.

UNDERSLUNG COUPLER

PART # 82680, 82681, 82682 13,000 lb. Capacity

Top Plate PART # 82740 or 22375

1. On I-beams remove approximately 9˝ of outside bottom flange of the

I-beams (

FIG 5-A) so coupler can be welded directly to the I-beam web.

For an alternative to removing a length of the I-beam flange:

a. Make two plates 9ˇ long x .135˝ thick x height of I-beam (

FIG 2-B & 5-E).

b. Weld the plates to the outside of the I-beam flanges.

c. Weld both plates full length top and bottom following

WELDING INSTRUCTIONS.

2. With bottom of beam contacting inside bottom coupler, butt front edge

of beams against back of ball housing. Edges of beams must make full

contact with inside surface of coupler sides.

3. On beams with flanges wider than 1-15/16˝, trim front corners (

FIG 2-C)

to allow beams to penetrate fully into coupler.

4. Following

WELDING INSTRUCTIONS, weld full length, both sides of coupler,

with a continuous weld (FIG 5-B). Weld must run from rear edge of

coupler past front edge of beam, then onto inside of coupler (

FIG 5-D).

Weld bottom rear edge of coupler to bottom of trailer frame.

CAUTION

COUPLER OR FRAME DAMAGE

• Top support plates must be used with all underslung couplers.

5. Align hole in top plate with hole in coupler (

FIG 5-F). Following WELDING

INSTRUCTION

to assure structural integrity of coupler attachment system,

weld top support plate to frame full length both sides and around the

corner to inside edges of the trailer frame (

FIG 5-C).

TOP MOUNT A-FRAME COUPLERS



CAUTION

COUPLER OR FRAME DAMAGE

• A bottom support plate MUST be used with A-Frame couplers.

• Weld completely around bottom plate following WELDING INSTRUCTIONS.
