ROCKER ARMS

Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 4, Detail B in Diagram D). Note

that the center bushing has a grease zerk in it. Position the rocker

arms up into the center channel welded in the center of the tandem

spring bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the

holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in place with a

3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Repeat this process on

the other rocker arm and spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this

time by applying grease through the zerk just discussed.

NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that it is

accesible for servicing when needed.

SPRINGS

Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer. Posi-

tion the brake axle so that the disc brake calipers are on the back-

side of the axle. The brake axle must always be mounted as the rear

axle to give you the best braking possible. There is no right and left

to the axle without brakes. It can be mounted either way.

Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle.

(See Diagram D on Page 8). Note that the hook end of the spring

must be to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top cen-

ter of the spring as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down

over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.

Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-

bolts. Secure with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not

tighten securely until the complete unit is in position on the trailer.

Repeat on the other spring.

AXLE

Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear

of the spring bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4”

hex bolt and hex lock nut. Repeat in other spring bracket.

Position the rear axle under the frame, then hook the hook loop

of the spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the

axle is positioned too low when trying to hook, the hooks will not

hook around the bushings.

Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the rear hole in

the axle boogie just installed. Attach with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts

and lock nuts.

Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole on the

rock arm assembly. Attach with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock

nut. Tighten.

Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front axle over

the bushing just installed in the rocker arm assembly. Then swing

the front of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the

spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3 -1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.

ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION

Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Remove the

brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake cali-

per. Thread in the brake hose male end and tighten. Place the other

end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line clip

bracket. Secure in place with the hose clip provided. (Item No. 63.)

Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line tubing

coming out of the side frame exit hole. Carefully uncoil the brake

line so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the

brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line ﬁtting into the brake

line hose. Tighten. All bleeding to the line can be done through the

bleeder on the right caliper.

DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION

If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes connect the line to

the axle as follows:

Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Remove the

brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake cali-

per. Thread the brake hose male end into the block and tighten.

Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the spring bracket with the

brake line clip brackets as shown in Diagram D. Once the brake

hoses are secured in place with the hose clips (Ref. No. 63) the

lines can be attached.

Identify which brake line hose that the side frame brake line tubing

will be connected to. In a dual axle installation it can connected to

either one. When identiﬁed, locate the brass tee connector. Screw

the male port of the tee into a brake line hose. Tighten. Next con-

nect the side frame brake line into the top port on the tee. Connect

the two axles together using the 40” brake line supplied. Thread

one end of the line into the brass tee just installed. Route the line

over to the other axle, form a loop in the line and then connect the

other end into the brake line hose for the second axle.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake ﬂuid and bleed the line per the

instructions in the brake manual. Note that the axle is already bled

at the factory during assembly. All bleeding to the line can be done

through the bleeder on the right caliper.

X-R ASSEMBLY

The XR-Series roller rack is installed by placing the roller arm as-

sembly mounting channel over the rear cross member and secur-

ing in place with a 1/2” X 4-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. (See Detail

B in Diagram A.) Note that it should be left loose until the boat is

placed on the trailer. Once the proper position is determined, it may

be tightened. Repeat on the other roller arm assembly.

TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES

Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ﬁne threaded

tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb. of torque using the

rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.

Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-

cally thereafter.
