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” stainless steel hex bolt from the
outside inward as shown and secure with a 3/4” stainless steel 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” stainless steel 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” stainless steel hex lock nuts. Do not
tighten until 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 4-3/4” stainless steel hex bolt and 9/16”
stainless steel hex lock nut. Raise the rear of the
spring and axle assembly up into the rear spring
bracket channel. Place a spring support chan-
nel (Item #4) under the spring. Align the holes
and place another 9/16” x 4-3/4” stainless steel
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” stainless steel 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 3-3/4” stainless steel hex bolt and 9/16”
stainless steel 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
4-3/4” stainless steel hex bolts and 9/16” stainless
steel hex lock nuts. Tighten.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
