Yes, I have added a link below to the manual, but to make it easier for you I have gone ahead and added a cut out of the maintenance manual for the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W.
What you will want to do is lubricate the bushings as well as the jaws with LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # L11315.
Then you'll grease the saddle via the grease zerk every six months or so (it comes greased from the factory so you do not have to do it right away) and for that use the same # L11315 with Grease Gun # L30200.
Finally, there is the top of the coupler - the hitch head - which can be greased, but instead of doing that it is much simpler and cleaner to simply use a lube plate, the 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721.
