ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle.
Remove the plastic plug from the bottom port in the
brass block on both brake calipers. Thread in the
brake hose male end and tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb.
or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack
and or the threads to release and then leak.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame
brake line coming out of the side frame by the axle.
Carefully pull the brake line hose so that it will thread
thru the brake line bracket. Thread the brake line
hose into the side port on the right side brake caliper.
Tighten.
NOTE: The complete brake system including the
axle MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been
removed from the brake system. For bleeding
instructions see the UFP brake bleeding manual or
the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed
the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes con-
nect the line to the axle as follows:
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose in the axle.
Remove the plastic plug from the bottom port in the
brass block on both brake calipers. Thread the brake
hose male end into the block and tighten to either 6-
8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack
and or the threads to release and then leak.
Attach the brake hose from the attaching kit to the
side port on the brass block on the right side of the
rear axle and then to the spring bracket with the U-
shaped hose clip. Once the brake hose is secured in
place, locate the brass tee connector. Screw the
male port of the tee into the brake line hose. Tighten.
Next connect the side frame brake line hose into the
top port on the tee. Connect the two axles together
using the 42” brake line hose supplied. Thread one
end of the line into the brass tee just installed. Route
the line over to the other axle, forming a loop in the
line thru the clip on the spring bracket and then
connect the other end into the brake caliper on the
second axle. Tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in.
lb. of torque. Using the clamps and screws included
in the kit secure the hose to the sideframe to keep it
protected from damage.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack
and then leak.
NOTE: The complete brake system including the
axle MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been
removed from the brake system.
For bleeding instructions see the UFP brake
bleeding manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake
Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed
the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2”
fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to
85-95 ft./lb. torque using the rotation pattern as
shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual. Re-
torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then
periodically thereafter.
