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
trying to hook, the hooks will
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 hardware box No. 66801
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-
ond axle using the component
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.
