Final Assembly Instructions
Remove and sort the small parts from
the frame.
Reference Standing at the rear of the
trailer will determine the right and left
sides of the trailer for assembly
instructions.
Rocker Bogie:
Refer to Detail H, Page 6. Note there
is a grease zerk in the center
bushing of the rocker bogie. Position
the rocker bogie into the center
mounting channel of the spring
bracket so that the grease zerk is
pointing down. This is necessary so
that it can be serviced in the field
when needed. Align the center hole of
the rocker (6239210) with the center
hole of the spring bracket. Insert and
secure with a 3/4” X 4-1/2” hex bolt from
the outside in and tighten with a 3/4” hex
lock nut.
Axles:
Note: The hook end of the springs must
point to the rear of the trailer, on both
axles!
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.
Place the springs on the topside of the
spring pads welded to the axle. (See
chassis diagram). Place a spring clamp
on the top center of the spring. Place
the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts 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.
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.
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 rear axle under the frame,
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.
Brakes:
Refer to the Brake Service Manual for
service and maintenance.
Raise the front of the springs up so they
align with the rear hole in the axle rocker
bogie just installed. Secure in place with
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 just installed in the rocker arm
assembly. Then 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.
Brake Line Installation:
Open hardware box No. 66801 and sort.
Locate the long (88’) brake line and
straighten.
Locate the five (5) line clamps and the
1/4” self tapping screws. Form the brake
line so that it can be routed down the
back side of the axle and then over to
the brass block on the calipers.
Remove one of the brass plugs from the
port in the brass block on the left brake
caliper that best aligns with the routing
of the line. Note also that the bolt
holding the brass block to the caliper can
be loosened so that the brass block can
be rotated to better accommodate the
angle that the brake line approaches the
block on the caliper. Thread the brake
line fitting into this port to hold the line
in position making sure that the line does
not rub or touch the spring. Re-tighten
the bolt in the brass block if it has been
loosened to rotate the block.
Route the line down the back side of the
axle and secure to the axle with the five
(5) clamps and self tapping screws. Note
that the axle is pre-drilled for the
mounting screws.
Route the brake line over to the brass
block on the right brake caliper. Remove
both plugs on the right caliper block.
Thread the other end of the brake line
into one of the ports on the brass block.
Thread the 18” brake hose male end into
the other port from which the plug was
removed and tighten. Position the brass
block so that neither the hose nor the
brake line will contact or rub the spring.
Tighten all fittings.
Place the other end of the hose up
through the hole provided in the brake
line clip bracket. Secure in place with
the hose clip provided. Item No. 27 in
Diagram F, Page 6.
Repeat this process on the second axle
using the component parts in hardware
box 66928.
Locate the brass tee in box 66928.
Thread the male port of the tee into the
female end of the brake hose of the front
axle. Tighten. 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 enough so that it will reach
the port of the tee just threaded into the
brake hose. Thread the brake line
fitting into the top port of the tee and
tighten.
Locate the 40” long brake line tube in
box 66928. Thread one end of the line
into the remaining port of the tee
installed in the previous step. Route the
line back to the second axle. Place a
coil in the line to use up the excess line
and then connect the other end of the
line into the hose coming from the
second axle. Tighten both fittings. Note
that the coil in the line will absorb the
vibration created during towing.
Bleeding the Brake System
Bleed the brake system as specified in
the brake manual. The bleeding
process is necessary to remove ALL air
entrapped in the system in order for the
brake system to function properly.
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.
