ROCKER ARMS

Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 4 in Diagram E). 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 1/2” 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 acces-

sible for servicing when needed.

SPRINGS

Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer as

shown in Diagram E. Position the brake axle so that the disc brake

calipers are on the back¬side of the axle. The brake axle must al-

ways be mounted as the rear axle to give you the best braking pos-

sible. Place the front axle so the holes for routing the brake hose

are to the rear in the event that second axle brakes will be mounted

on the trailer in the future. Place the springs on the topside of the

spring pads welded to the axle. (See Diagram E). Note that the

hook end of the spring must be to the rear of the trailer. Place a

spring clamp on the top center 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.

Install another spring bracket bushing in the front holes on the rock

arm assemblies. 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.

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.

ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION

Locate the brake hose coming out of a hole in the inside rear of the

right side frame near the axle position. Route the hose over to the

axle and insert it into the larger outer hole in the brake hose mount-

ing bracket. Route it down to the caliper where it will be attached

in the brass block.

Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right

brake caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed down from the

side frame into the port where the brass plug was just removed.

Tighten.

Hand-tighten the tting on the end of the frame brake hose to the

side tting of the brake caliber.

Fit the axle brake hose to the bottom tting on the brake caliber.

Use a wrench to tighten 1/4 turn. Repeat on other side of axle.

Bleed system. If the connection leaks, tighten only enough to stop

the leak.

Over-tightening will permanently damage the internal components

of the brass tting causing the tting to leak.

Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and insert it

into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The grommet

will protect the hose from abrasion as well as retain it from slid-

ing down while being towed. Enough slack should be left in the

brake hose from the hose mounting clamp and the axle to allow the

axle to move freely without the hose rubbing on the spring or any

other steel part. All additional hose above the brake hose mounting

clamp and the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side

frame for protection from the elements.

In the event that the axle position is at some distance from the hole

in the side frame where the brake hose is routed from, two addi-

tional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping screws are provided

to attach the brake hose to the inside of the side frame. Bend the

open end of the hose mounting clamps open far enough so the

hose can be slid inside the clamp. Once the hose is inside, bend

the clamps back shut so it forms around the brake hose. Position

the two clamps on the inside of the side frame spaced so there is

an equal distance between the hole where the brake hose comes

out of the side frame and the brake hose mounting clamp. Using

the self-tapping screws, drill them into the side frame to secure the

clamps in place. Tighten until the screws are fully in. This will grip

the brake hose and keep it from moving.

All bleeding to the line is to be done through the bleeders on the

calipers.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed the line per the

instructions in the brake manual.

TIRE & RIM ASSEMBLIES

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

tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 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.
