SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned
with the trailer. Place the springs on the
top side of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See chassis diagram). 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
placed. Secure in place with 1/2” 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.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings
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 in place with 9/16” x 3-
1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts
not tightened at this time.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
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 periodically thereafter.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight of the trailer with standard
equipment. Adding optional equipment may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
