SPRINGS

Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer and

the brake calipers are located on the back side of the axle.

(See Diagram D).

Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded

to the axle. (See chassis Diagram D). Note that the hook

end of the spring must be mounted 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 installed. Secure in place 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 axle under the frame, then hook the loop end of

the spring 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 front

hole of the spring bracket. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-

1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

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. Re-

move the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the

right brake caliper. Thread in the male end of the brake hose

and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or else 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 through the hole in the brake

line clip bracket and secure with the U-shaped hose clip

provided.Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame

brake line coming out of the side frame.

Uncoil the brake line so that it reaches the end of the hose

just attached to the brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake

line fitting into the brake line

hose. Tighten.

NOTE: The axle has brake fluid 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 ship-

ping and storage. The complete brake system including the

axle

MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been re-

moved from the brake system.For bleeding instructions see

the UFP Brake Bleeding Manual or else the ShoreLand’r

Disc Brake Manual.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line

per the instructions in the Brake Manual.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

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

threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft./lb.

torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the Shore-

Landr’s Owners Manual.

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

odically thereafter.
