SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. The
standard axle does not have a left or right side to it.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See Diagram C). 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. Locate 1/2” lock nuts and 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 (Item #6 in Diagram C)
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 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 front hole of
the spring bracket. Secure with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock
nuts.
Diagram B
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
TIRE & 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.
