Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer.
Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded
to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that the hook end
of the spring must be mounted 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.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the
two U-bolts just placed. 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.
AXLE
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 axle under the frame, then 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.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align
with the front hole of the spring bracket. Secure in
place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this
time.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
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.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight of the trailer with standard
equipment. Adding optional equipment may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
