Final Assembly Instructions

R e m o v e a n d s o r t t h e s m a l l

parts from the frame.

Reference Standing at the rear of

the trailer will determine the right and

left sides of the trailer for assembly

instructions.

Rocker Bogie:

Refer to Detail H, Page 6. Note

there is a grease zerk in the center

bushing of the rocker bogie. Posi-

tion the rocker bogie into the center

mounting channel of the spring

bracket so that the grease zerk is

pointing down. This is necessary

so that it can be serviced in the ﬁeld

when needed. Align the center hole of

the rocker (6239210) with the center

hole of the spring bracket. Insert and se-

cure with a 3/4” X 4-1/2” stainless steel

hex bolt from the outside in and tighten

with a 3/4” stainless steel hex lock nut.

Axles:

Note: The hook end of the springs

must point to the rear of the trailer, on

both axles!

Position the axles so they are prop-

erly aligned with the trailer. Position

the brake axle so that the disc brake

calipers are on the back side of the

axle. Place the springs on the topside

of the spring pads welded to the axle.

(See chassis diagram). Place a spring

clamp on the top center of the spring.

Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” stainless steel

square U-bolts down over the top of

the spring clamp, spring and axle.

Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate

onto the ends of the two U-bolts.

Secure in place with 1/2” stainles

steel 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.

Place one of the spring bracket

bushings into the rear of the spring

bracket and secure with a 9/16” x

3 1/4” stainless steel hex bolt and

9/16” stainless steel hex lock nut. Re-

peat in other spring bracket.

Position the rear axle under the frame,

hook the hook loop of the spring around

the bushings just installed. Note that

if the axle is positioned too low when

tr yi ng to h o o k , th e h o o ks w i l l

not hook around the bushings.

Brakes:

Refer to the Brake Service Manual for

service and maintenance.

Raise the front of the springs up so they

align with the rear hole in the axle rocker

bogie just installed. Secure in place

with 9/16” x 3-1/4” stainless steel hex

bolts and 9/16” stainless steel lock nuts.

Install another spring bracket bush-

ing in the front hole on the rock arm

assembly. Secure 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. Tight-

en all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.

Brake Line Installation:

Open hardw a r e bo x No . 66 80 1

a n d s o r t . L o c a t e t h e l o n g

(88’) brake line and straighten.

Remove one of the brass plugs from

the port in the brass block on the left

brake caliper that best aligns with the

routing of the line. Note also that the bolt

holding the brass block to the caliper can

be loosened so that the brass block can

be rotated to better accommodate the

angle that the brake line approaches the

block on the caliper. Thread the brake

line ﬁtting into this port to hold the line in

position making sure that the line does

not rub or touch the spring. Re-tighten

the bolt in the brass block if it has been

loosened to rotate the block.

Locate the ﬁve (5) line clamps and the

1/4” self tapping screws. Route the

line down the back side of the axle

and secure to the axle with the ﬁve

(5) clamps and self tapping screws.

Note that the axle is pre-drilled for the

mounting screws.

Route the brake line over to the brass

block on the right brake caliper. Remove

both plugs on the right caliper block.

Thread the other end of the brake line

into one of the ports on the brass block.

Thread the 18” brake hose male end

into the other port from which the plug

was removed and tighten. Position the

brass block so that neither the hose

nor the brake line will contact or rub

the spring. Tighten all ﬁttings.

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. 27 in Diagram F, Page 6.

Repeat this process on the sec-

on d ax l e usi n g th e com p one n t

parts in hardware box 66928.

Locate the brass tee in box 66928.

Thread the male port of the tee into the

female end of the brake hose of the

front axle. Tighten. Remove the plastic

cap from the end of the frame brake line

coming out of the black plastic tube in

the side frame by the axle. Uncoil the

brake line enough so that it will reach

the port of the tee just threaded into

the brake hose. Thread the brake line

f i t t i n g i n t o t h e t o p p o r t o f

the tee and tighten.

Locate the 40” long brake line tube

in box 66928. Thread one end of the

line into the remaining port of the tee

installed in the previous step. Route

the line back to the second axle. Place

a coil in the line to use up the excess

line and then connect the other end of

the line into the hose coming from the

second axle. Tighten both ﬁttings. Note

that the coil in the line will absorb the

vibration created during towing.

Bleeding the Brake System

Bleed the brake system as speciﬁed

in the brake manual. The bleeding

process is necessary to remove ALL air

entrapped in the system in order for the

brake system to function properly.

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 pat-

tern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s

Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug

nuts after 50 miles of driving and then

periodically thereafter.
