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 to either 6-8 ft.

lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Over tightening will cause the brass

block to crack and then leak.

Place the other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the

brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with the U-shaped hose clip

provided.

Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line com-

ing out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake line

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

line bracket.

Thread the brake line tting into the brake line hose.

Tighten.

NOTE: The axle has brake uid installed in the calipers and the

axle line when it is assembled at the factory. This is done to protect

the inner parts of the brake system during shipping and storage.

The complete brake system including the axle MUST be re-bled to

ensure that all air has been removed from the brake system.

For bleeding instructions see the UFP brake bleeding manual or

the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.

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

instructions in the Brake Manual.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

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

tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft./lb. torque using the

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

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

thereafter.

ROCKER ARMS

Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 6 of Detail E 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 point-

ing down. Align the holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Se-

cure 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 ac-

cesible for servicing when needed.

SPRINGS

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

Position 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 (See Diagram

D). 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 chassis diagram). 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 just placed. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts.

Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the com-

plete 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 loop of the

springs around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle

is positioned too low when trying to hook, the loops 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. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4”

hex bolts and lock nuts.

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

arm assemblies. 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. 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.
