ShoreLand'r SLB46TBAL - Manual (Page 3)

ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle.
Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on
the right brake caliper. Thread the brake hose male end into
the port from which the plug was removed and tighten. Place
the other end of the hose up through the hole in the brake
line clip bracket (Ref #29). Secure with the hose clip.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line
coming out of the black plastic tube in the side frame by the
axle. Uncoil the brake line so that it will reach the end of the
hose just attached to the brake line clip bracket. Thread the
brake line fitting into the brake line hose. Tighten. All
bleeding to the line can be done through the bleeder on the
right caliper. For bleeding instructions see the ShoreLand’r
Brake Manual.
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle.
Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on
the right brake caliper. Thread the brake hose male end into
the block and tighten. Attach the brake hoses from the axles
to the spring bracket with the brake line clip brackets as shown
in Detail U. Once the brake hoses are secured with the hose
clips, the lines can be attached.
Identify which brake line hose that the side frame brake line
tubing will be connected to. In a dual axle installation it can
connected to either one. When identified, locate the brass
tee connector. Screw the male port of the tee into the brake
line hose. Tighten. (See Detail W.) Connect the side frame
brake line into the top port on the tee. Connect the two axles
together using the 40” brake line. Thread one end of the line
into the remaining port in the brass tee. Route the line over to
the other axle, form a loop in the line and connect the other
end into the brake line hose for the second axle.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line
per the instructions in the ShoreLand’r Brake Manual. The
axle is already bled at the factory during assembly. All
remainder bleeding of the line can be done through the
bleeder on the right caliper.
Tire And Wheel Assemblies
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.
Note: All nuts and bolts must be tightened before towing.

ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms. Note: 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 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, apply
grease through the zerk.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that it is
accessible for servicing.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are 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. 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 on Page 4). Note: 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. The 1/2” x 6-1/2”
U-bolts are placed down over the top of the spring clamp,
spring and axle.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the
two U-bolts. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Do not tighten
securely until the adjustments can be made. Repeat on the
other spring.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings (Ref. #35) 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 rear axle under the frame, then hook the hook
loop of the spring around the bushings just installed. If the
axle is positioned too low, the hooks will not hook around the
bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the rear
hole in the axle rocker arm. Secure in place with a 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole on the
rock arm assembly. Secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and
lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front axle
over the bushing in the rocker arm assembly. Swing the front
of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the
spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock
nut.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
