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. 65) 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.
ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at-
tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in
the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate
the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while tow-
ing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be
slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring
as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp
back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top
of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of
the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the
spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the
bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place
on another No. 10 flat washer and secure with a No. 10 hex nut.
Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of the axle.

FRAME BRAKE LINE
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
hose mounting clamps open far enough so the hose can be slid in-
side 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 be-
tween 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 fluid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the brake manual.
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.
