Rocker Bogie
Locate the rocker bogie as shown on page 6. Note there is a grease zerk in
the center bushing of the rocker bogie. This is necessary so that it can be
serviced in the field when needed. Position the rocker bogie into the center
mounting channel of the spring bracket. The rocker must be positioned with
the hole locations as shown for proper operation. Align the center hole of
the rocker 60205 with the hole in the center mounting channel of the spring
bracket. Insert a 3/4” x 5-1/2” hex bolt from the outside inward as shown and
secure with a hex lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other rocker bogie.
Springs
Position the axles so they are proper-
ly aligned with the trailer. The disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle. Block the
axles so they are approximately 12” above the floor.
Drop two 1/2” x 2-9/16” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over
the axle, then down through the holes in the spring
mounting plate that is welded to the axle.
Position a spring so that the eye end of the
spring is to the front of the trailer. Raise
the spring up between the U-bolts, slip on
another spring plate and secure with four
1/2” hex lock nuts. Do not tighten un-
til after the springs are mounted into the
trailer frame. Repeat on the other end
of this axle, then on the second axle.
Axles
Place the eye of the springs mounted on the
rear axle into the rear of the rocker bogies. Align
holes and secure in the rocker bogies with a
9/16” x 5-1/2” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Raise
the rear of the spring and axle assembly up into
the rear spring bracket channel. Place a spring
support channel (Ref. # 4) under the spring.
Align the holes and place another 9/16” x 5-1/2”
hex bolt through one side of the spring support
channel and one side of the spring brack-
e t c h a n n e l . P l a c e a s p r i n g b r a c k e t
bushing on the top side of the spring,
align with the bolt just inserted. Insert the
bolt through the bushing, spring bracket
channel and the spring support channel. Secure
with a 9/16” hex lock nut.
Place the eye of the springs mounted to
the front axle into the front spring bracket
channel for the front axle. Secure as above
using a 9/16” x 5-1/2” hex bolt and hex lock
nut. Raise the rear of the springs up into the
front side of the rocker bogies. Raise the
spring up and secure in place with 9/16” x
5 -1/2” hex bolts and hex lock nuts. Tighten.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
