In order for your hitch to couple correctly, the jaws should be closed when you back in to couple your fifth wheel. Look at page 6, illustration #10 of the attached instructions from Reese. http://www.reeseprod.com/fitguides/pdf/N30047.pdf
Hope this helps,

John.. the Sig. Series is different than what you have, only one u-shaped forged jaw. The jaw has to be opened first, locks only if backed in correctly and a safety pin that will only go in if locked correctly.....Ken
