Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the
front axle over the bushing just installed 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.
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 blocks on the both brake calipers. Thread in
the brake hose male end and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or
else 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Over tightening will cause
the brass block to crack and then leak.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame
brake hose coming out of the side frame by the axle.
Carefully pull the brake hose so that it will pass thru
the brake line bracket and will be threaded into the
side port of the brass block on the right caliper. Place
a grommet around the hose and fit it into the brake
line clip on the spring bracket to protect the side
frame brake hose. Tighten.
NOTE: The complete brake system including the
axle MUST be 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 to the axle.
Remove the plastic plug from the bottom port in the
brass blocks 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 then leak.
Attach the brake hose from the kit to the axle and
route and mount to the spring bracket with the U-
shaped hose clip. Once the brake hose is secured in
place the lines can be attached.
Locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male port
of the tee into the brake line hose. Tighten. Next
connect the side frame brake hose into the top port on
the tee. Connect the two axles together using the 42”
brake hose supplied. Thread one end of the hose into
the brass tee just installed. Route the hose over to
and thru the other brake line clip on the spring bracket
and then down to the brass block on the right caliper
of the axle, form a loop using the extra hose in the line
and using the included clips and screws attach the
hose to the side frame to keep it up out of the way.
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 then leak.
NOTE: The complete brake system including the axle
MUST be 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.
