ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 6 of Detail A in Dia-
gram D.)
Note that the 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 in place
with a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Re-
peat this process on the other rocker arm and spring
bracket. Grease the rocker at this time by applying
grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that
it is accesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
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. The brake
axle must always be mounted as the rear axle to give
you the best braking possible (See Diagram D). 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). Note that
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 as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts
