ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 6 of Detail A in Dia-
gram D. Note that the center bushing has a grease
zerk in it.Position the rocker arms up into the center
channel welded in the center of the tandem spring
bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down.
Align the holes in the channel with the rocker arm.
Secure in place with a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock
nut. Tighten. Repeat this process on the other rocker
arm and spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this
time by applying grease through the zerk just dis-
cussed.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so
that it is accesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with
the trailer. Position the brake axle so that the disc
brake calipers are on the back side of the axle. The
brake axle must always be mounted as the rear axle
to give you the best braking possible (See Diagram
D. There is no right and left to the axle without brakes.
It can be mounted either way.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads
welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that
the hook end of the spring must be 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.
